It had every upgrade, used every weapon hardpoint(6/6), used every crit slot(100%), with 65/65 tons. Compared to the stock model, it had Art/DHS/Endo/Ferro in addition to more armor/ammo/speed/cooling while keeping the jets.

How the hell can you have DHS, Endo, Fibrous at the same time ? I can hardly have enough space with DHS alone.

My C1F, now named, "The once great C1F", was my LRM bunny ears with legs. It was my baby. I fed it crackers, and in exchange, it poured missiles across the field, like a boss. People feared the bunny ears. It had every upgrade, used every weapon hardpoint(6/6), used every crit slot(100%), with 65/65 tons. Compared to the stock model, it had Art/DHS/Endo/Ferro in addition to more armor/ammo/speed/cooling while keeping the jets. It was perfect and did its job perfectly. It was a perfect LRM carrier. It may as well have been a hero variant after what I did to it. It did have a skin and boost. Regardless, it was my favorite Mech and very fun to play... then came the ECM. Well... now it's growing dust with a tombstone in front of it. Its tomb reads, "Once king of the LRM racks - finally slain by talentless whining kids. It's now shooting missiles in a better place. R.I.P."

You'll be hard pressed to find a mech with an 87.1 kph (speed tweak), full armor (besides legs a little), 50 damage alpha, and effective at all ranges, other than this bad boy

Definatley my favorite

Heh, I couldn't give you just one; I am always playing around. This is my current favorite setup:
Cat-K2
"FLINGER"
2 Ultra AC/5
2 ER Large Laser
1 AMS

Mine too, except for the AMS. Who needs it these days? No one is dropping with missiles anymore.

lol, man only now does my thread take off.

Centurion CN9-AL

XL 225
Endo Steel
13 DHS
2x Large Laser (RA)
2x Medium Laser (CT)
1x SRM-6 (LT) w/ 1 Ton Ammo

74kph or so with Speed tweak, plenty of punch from dual LL, just a fun build. Effective, but a bit fragile on the DPS.

Cataphract 4X

XL 250
Endo Steel
15 DHS (IIRC)
4x AC-5
2x Medium Laser

Right now, my go-to:

Ilya Muromets
XL 280
Endo Steel
13 DHS (IIRC)
3x AC-5
1x Large Laser
2x Medium Laser

The Cataphracts are just entirely too much fun.

Necro post from a streak boat loser is still a necro post. Why would any self respecting pilot talk about "favorite builds" with a "lock on click click" bot?

[Vassago Rain]

I like mechs that can boat SRMs. Double-D is my primary mech, but I'm toying around a lot with the pretty terrible centurions, too.

[Grumbling Coot]

I'm a big fan of my simple, but effective CN9-YLW load out:

2x MLS
AC/20
Standard Engine
DHS, Endo, FF armor

It moves quick, packs a punch, and doesn't go down easy.

My current favorite though, is my CN9-AL build:

1 ERPPC
2x SRM6
1 MLS
1 SLS
Standard engine
DHS, Endo, standard armor

I can use the ERPPC to snipe at long ranges, and the two SRM6s have made more than one person regret coming in for a closer look.

[Sarevos]

Lol if were going by most fun to play then My K2 "heat stroke" 4 ERPPCs I only use it in 8v8 get a few laughs when I get those head shots or one shot a light with some really good fortune it makes the other team laugh too hard to realize I'm actually dangerous XD

[M4NTiC0R3X]

Probably the Raven or Catapult 'cos of how they look. I'd tell you my favorite loadouts but those are ever changing with the times.. normally it includes a type of missile system and laser systems.

I haven't had the care to mess with ballistics (other than the LBX10) much since closed beta, but it sounds like I should think about practicing them on my Atlas D[F] for the near future!

I want to figure out some way to build the AL with 2x SRM-6 and 2x Large Laser. I know it shouldn't work on a 50 Ton mech but damn would it be fun.

I saw someone with 2x Gauss and an ER PPC on a K2.

He took out my Hunchback's Right Torso in one hit (Gauss explosion.)

I stopped putting Gauss rifles on my Hunchback

You could modify my build to do that, but you'll have to sacrifice some armor, heat sinks or engine to make them fit.

you sound pretty mad.

[Badgerbanger]

Hmmmm so ECM hasn't killed LRMs or SSRMs...but...
There are almost no builds with LRMs...and the only ones with SSRMs are the builds with ECM. Got to be coincidence..right?

I'll be up front and honest....unlike 99% of the ECM supporters crowd.

Now I only field mech which can pack ECM AND SSRMs....that's your WIN BUTTON right there for you.

Before the last patch I only had 1 build with 2 SSRMs in it before ECM..so I could hit the occasional laggy light you used to see.

Now it's ALL laggy lights with ECM and SSRMs (guess what...ECM makes ping worse and lights even harder to hit )..and to compete with that you need...yup ..a laggy light with ECM and SSRMs.

Either that or the DDC...with, you guessed it...ECM and SSRMs.

Of course you can still circlestrafe brawl like a n00b in the middle of the field furball every game with ACs and lasers and get the odd kill if that's your unthinking, twitch gamer, strategyless thing

or you can snipe like i do with erppcs or er LLs and have done since Closed beta. ecm isnt broken artemis isnt good is all make it work lrms like javelin missiles and you have the most fun a support can have without it being overpowered (as you need los on the location you guide them to anyway) problem solved ecm no longer "kills" your build
