Come on you might hurt some peoples feelings

[Mazgazine1]

A friend on the Creddit group created a DAkkaphract 4x with 4 machine guns and 2 flamers and an srm4, it looked and SOUNDED awesome.. but thats about all it could do.

it ran very cool at least.

Any Yen Lo without an AC20.

Unless it's a YLW with 2xUAC5s. You have to give it an XL, but it's possible. And man does it hurt.

[Codejack]

Lol, I was playing around and accidentally loaded this up:

Cataphract-4X
245 standard engine
max armor
1xLRM5
2xSPLAS
4xMG

I took it out just to play around; do machine guns actually do damage, or do they just sound cool?

[The Cheese]

COM-2D

2xLRM5 + Artemis + ammo.
130 engine (don't know if it was standard or XL, matched the top speed with OHM's chart.)
Nothing else.

Beat THAT.

Commando COM-1B running 3 flamers and an XL195 engine. Me and a few mates ran that build, 3 of them running circles around your AWS-9M is a *****. He was constantly overheating. It was hilarious.
Also, making Zoidberg sounds whilst doing it was endless entertainment.

Thought about doing it for poops and giggles.

We also did this for poops and giggles. Many giggles were had and many poops pooped. Sadly, you didn't get the lag shield you get from the commie running an XL195 - which tbh is kinda essential to survive when you're against more than 1 mech.

[Pr8Dator]

This is fun! Here's my WORST EVER build!

Catapult C4: 2 x LRM20 + 2 x LRM15, 1440 rounds of LRM, BAP, no armor at all, slow *** engine. Super glass cannon!

[JediPanther]

C1 with only one small laser.

[Joe3142]

Many jump jets and one small laser.

I guess you won atm. This is unbeatable, at this time of Gamedevelopment.

[Acorn]

I made an awesome that had 1 flamer in the head energy slot, and filled the rest of the crits with LRM ammo. Had to drop most of the armor for the weight. Anyway, you just toggle your heat override and hold down the flamer button until your ammo cooks and you blowup. I was hoping more ammo = larger explosions. Sadly that was not the case.

try a commando with an lrm 20, 180xl engine, 2 tons lrm ammo (15 armor on the legs)

I have seen a moderatly effective LRM raven too.

Maybe you watches me in my LRM20 Raven ..... fantastic mech

I need one of those - NOW

PS: How often can you alpha with this once or twice?

PPS: Have you tried ER-PPCs?

!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You sir officially won this thread.

[Red squirrel]

Sorry Acorn got #1 now.

The Selfdestructo-mech is hillarious!

[Evilsmirk]

Saw an Atlas-RS with only 2x LRM 20s. Unlike the Streakcat voters, which were effective pre-ECM, this should qualify on both sides of the ECM era.

I ran a CDA-3C with 4MGs and an ERPPC twice. Tried it with a ERPPC and an AC/2.

[rebelbrethren]

Loving this thread

Going to have to vote for myself, for those special moments after some heavy mechlab sessions where I was changing loadouts far too often. Most are genuine accidents, one or two just for kicks.

Classic comedy examples:

Experimenting with lots of different ballistic options on a catapult K2 which resulted in a drop in a demigausspult (1x Gauss, 1x AC2)... and only 4 tons of UAC/5 ammo from the previous build. Rating: 100% ineffective.

Similarly, after a brief streakapult experiment to see what all the fuss was about, dropping in a 4x SRM6 Cat C4 with only the SSRM ammo and two small lasers for backup..

The one time I tried a kamikazemech experiment to see how much weaponry you could boat per chassis when you had no armour whatsoever, and a small only xl engine. Answer, it doesn't matter when you can die to a machine gun cicada in seconds, but it's worth it for seeing your paperdoll start looking worse than most people's end up.

Always on permafiring small laser Centurion boating more heatsinks than sense.

Any time I tried PPCs on anything.

[Sayyadina]

I am not in any way a leet sort of player, but I saw an Atlas D-DC with 2 machineguns in it's balistics HPs along with a number of LRMs that made me scratch my head, then again i was spectating...

[SpiralRazor]

Spectating is quite an..eye opener on the state of PUGs.
