I do have an actual question though. I've looked at the loadouts the variants have, but I didn't find the info for the catapult. Can anyone tell me what's on the catapult?
Sympathies for the cashflow issue.
Without breaking the NDA, I can say that the loadouts on the founder's mechs have been publicly stated to be pretty close to the canon builds.
If I were in your shoes:
1) Rather than concentrate on what the mechs carry in terms of loadout, I'd think about my play style - do you like to play as a scout, a brawler, a heavy brawler, or an indirect fire/support mech?
2) If possible, I'd take StormFist's suggestion, and start out with Veteran. You don't get a founder's mech, but the founder's mechs are _identical_ to the regular variants. So you can compare.
