Anyways being new I am trying to put this all into a perspective I can understand. Being a long time Eve player Eve is the closest I can really relate to. So Ill use EVE as an example of the role I prefer to fill in an eve fleet and let you guys tell me whih mech would be simlair in MWO. IN EVE I tend to fly a heavily armed and armored Battleship (Abbadon with t2 pulse for the eve players) I like to have a lot of armor around me and I like to be able to put out good consistent damage at flexible ranges. I dont like to have to close in real close to the enemy to get good hits in. Id prefer to be able to stay at medium to long ranges and still put out effective damage. From what Ive read it sounds like I should be in a heavy or assault mech tho the only assault mech is the Atlas and from I gather its a short range brawler I have had expereince trying to close in short range slow battleships in EVE (T2 blasterthron for the eve players) and I hated it. So I dont think the Atlas is really going to be my Mech of choice.
Even tho Im a newb I do come from EVE and in EVE bigger isnt always better. So I get the idea of role warfare we have something similair in EVE where larger ships arent better just fill a different role.

(In all seriousness, of the 'Mechs shown so far the Centurion is great to learn on. Has lasers, AC, and missiles, ok speed, good armour, and can hit people at all ranges.)

I've driven my share of Abby's, though, and if you want a big slow armored beast then I'd go with an assault class mech. Being slow shouldn't bother you. In fact an Atlas will seem downright speedy compared to the Abbadon.

Getting into the game I would agree with Garth's suggestion. Not just because he's Garth but because he is obviously I have to. The Centurion has a mix weapon ranges making medium best and being a medium mech would in theory give you an idea if you want more guns and armor, or the option to run away.

Fire support does sound like a fun role for me. Speed an manuverability have never been a major concern as long as I have giant bricks of armor.
