You need to get your head out of the meta and have a little more fun.


Meta is only the meta till someone comes up with knew idea's but not all idea's are good Posted Image Like those people back in the day that were sure the world was flat till someone prove it was not

Hey! I'll have you know I played a match in that thing last night and our team got crushed, I still managed to rack up 500dmg and 2 kills (1 solo) in that thing!

Worse game last night was actually my fabled UAC-10 Cicada, managed 60 damage. Every. Single. Double-tap. JAMMED!

Edit:
Disclaimer: It wasn't that exact build, I ran a Light 160 because fudge spending wasting CBills on it!

I was thinking XL for the speed...

Can do XL with DHS instead of the SHS but really it needs more ammo.

Said it before you boys lack creativity and just because you can't make good build don't mean it's a mech bad. You guys are like if some gave you a Lego set and said build something you would just use the rectangle blocks



Which boys? The ones who are capable of understanding that the orion's ****** hitboxes and hard points make it bad?

Lmao

This is a good pilot vs. good mech debate.

A good pilot can do well in a bad mech.
A bad pilot will only do well in good mechs.

Now a good pilot in a good mech, that's something to be feared.

You're telling me the "Official Community Discord" doesn't welcome members of the community...

Sounds very official to me, almost like there's a secret cabal of eSpurters pushing their own agenda...

It's where we decided what mechs to trick the low tiers into thinking are good so we can farm them.

Warhammers are just good mechs.

Orions have terrible mounts and hardpoint locations.


Now I'm confused Posted Image

Ah yes, the Orion. A true classic. Look at this ugly and mean looking machine:
Posted Image

I'm dreaming of:
Left arm = Large Pulse Laser
Left torso = LRM15
Right torso (hip mount) = AC5
Right arm = LRM10 or maybe SRM6 + a medium laser?

Unfortunately the Orion got a facelift in MWO and no longer looks as boxy and mean as it should. :-(
Also in MWO you would probably be better of thinking of it as a mini Atlas with SRM's and an AC20. Close range combat.

I like the boxy uglyness makes it look utilitarian
