Dragons are certainly more difficult to master than the Catapult. I think the Catapult is a very powerful mech in all it's variants, but it's also an easier mech to do well in than many (or all?) others. This can lead many players to stip trying othe rdesigns and think that it's simply the best.

Good Dragon pilots tend to be VERY good. There are also very good Cat pilots, I'm not tryign to say that using a Cat means you don't knwo what your'e doing, but when players take the time to truly learn how to use a Dragon, it's a much more effective mech than is often given the credit.

Just a guess but I would bet i'm close.

XL300 + Endo w/12 DHS.
1xLL
1XGauss Rifle w/1ton ammo
1xSRM6 w/1ton ammo
2xML


About 25% of that list is correct only. So, in other words: you're wrong. Sorry.

Incidently, what you just listed is a pretty terrible build. I've tried something similar to that a long while ago.

Its the most aggressive scout you'll ever have.

That being said I wont be using it, because on the other side of the field either a gaussapult or streakapult will be spawning to make me regret playing suboptimally.


The only thing a "streakapault" will do from across the field is give you a glare like a tiger looking at fresh meat and nothing more. You just give that streakcat a dirty look right back. You'll feel better...promise.
