Tired of gauss builds? Try this one out, it's certainly different. Modeled it after a 1X, but faster and with JJ's. This was one of those 'what the hell?' kinda builds that actually turned out to be really powerful. Expensive though, and not particularly n00b friendly, but worth trying if you've got the parts laying around.

Cataphract-3D (The Jester)

Equipment
XL 300
18 DHS
2x Jump Jet
416 armor (distribute as you please)

Weapons/Ammo:
1x AC/10 w/ 4 tons of ammo
1x ERPPC
3x Sm Lasers

You could probably survive with 3 tons of AC10 ammo if you want to drop some armor and squeeze AMS on. I put the big guns in torso slots (doable, but you have to juggle the heatsinks around a bit to make it work), so convergence isn't a big issue and you can use those big beefy arms as a good damage shield.

This thing is good at all ranges, but really excels in mid range combat, the PPC and AC10 make a brutal 1-2 punch. You are somewhat vulnerable to lights, so tactical positioning is very important in this mech.
