The hard points do all seem simular. 2 ballistic or 3 or 4 energy on most of the Chassis.
I can see Ac10 and 2 or 3 medium lasers
Maybe Ac 20 and Mediums.
Max engine and medium pulse lasers
Light Guass and medium lasers
2 or 3 ER large lasers.
Lasers and machine guns.
If you don't mind slow maybe dual ac2 spam.
I don't know why people would buy this? When we can do most of these builds already. Unless you are a pokemon master and must have them all.
What are your thoughts on this weird little mech. Bruno.

All other variants are varying degrees of trash. It has nowhere near enough hardpoints to actually function.

I like torso ballistic slots, and it will likely be XL friendly - could be jumpy and fast with some pulse lasers and MG’s.

other than that...i guess it looks neat? probably not a wise purchase unless you just love the mech and are willing to play it regardless of its performance.

The hero is potentially the best purchase of them all, with SRMs.

Give me! A! 65 kph! 90-95 tons! IS-Assault! With ECM & High Hardpoints! And WITHOUT APE ARMS!!
Oh...i forgot...we are not Clammers...we just get garbage, slow & squishy. Here, take my money! Not.
I mean really, what were the last good IS mechs coming out? For me Cyclops & Bushwacker...since then...nothing.

Cerberus would be close to your alley. Quad ballistics + quad energy, mostly high mounted, runs 64 kph at 95 tons. http://www.sarna.net...rus_(BattleMech) No ECM though, but is definitely a mech worth asking PGI for. Will most likely get the additional sensor range quirk due to lore.

Thx Bandito, always like too read your presentations!
That thing would be nice!
Also, gimme please a good (!) Heavy again, humanoid like Warhammer and one Heavy for mobility and flying fun (How many good JJ-Mechs does IS have?)
When PGI is upgrading FP at least a bit, i'd buy new mechs like this.

The Javelin is as good as a light SRM-bomber chassis can be, and despite being held back by minimal quirks it works well in game.
The Annihilator is kind of the opposite, since the chassis is rather bad but god-tier quirks (higher engine cap plus armour and offensive quirks) make it one of the best assaults availble.
Btw., the Nightstar could have been great had PGI not ruined the sleek and slim torso design, making it short, stubby and wide, easily doubling its frontal profile...
Anyway, you have to keep in mind the community wanted crap and they got exactly the crap they wanted. They were warned about the IS MW:4-originals (Uziel, Hellspawn, Thanatos), but still they wanted them.
It is too easy, too convenient to blame PGI when the community actively seeks out weak Mechs.
Take a look at the current polls. The Hollander is number one by a large margin, and that one would be the single worst Mech chassis ever.
Problem is the community's attitude. Instead of "I know this Mech, soooo iconic!!!!111" we need more "oh well, I did not know this Mech, but I might actually enjoy it in MWO".
