The more I look at it, the more I'm sold on it. This is one solid piece of art... leagues better than that horrible TRO thing.

Very solid Mech as well; the heaviest Heavy we've seen, and even includes jump jets. Standard hardpoints seem to leave plenty of room for customisation, although no room for missiles.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd crave a Frankenstein... yet here we are

Well, one thing you must keep in mind that only the Davion 3D with UAC/5 and LB-AX/10 has jumpjets.

Capellan 3L/1X (both have pretty similar loadout, only the 3L has lostech equipment like XL, DHs and ERPPC) from the picture does not. Then you have another Capellan variant called 2X that has switches teh PPC for a LL and gets off 2 rear MLs, but adds an SRM4 (see what I'm pointing at? ) and a slightly better armour.

The 3L also has MASC, giving it a different way to boost mobility.

Oh, yes, forgot about that.

And I'm very cool with that. The picture may show the 1X/3L, but the text describes the 3D, so I know it's at least close to their heart if not already on the design board. I only need the one, anyways
... although the 2X sounds like it might make an interesting support variant with some hardpoint jiggery.
Maybe we'll get lucky and PGI will put jump jets on more than just the 3D.

2 Gauss (Gaussenstein) and Jump Jets... I'm sold too.

Which can easily be knocked out by a crtical side troso hit due to the Xl engine. Man, I hope criticals get implemented, even if they won't be completely random.

[Deiphobus]

I want one

Already on it...

Did it with a CTF-3D Cataphract in REMLAB (with standard Gauss Rifles, because Heavy Gauss Rifles don't exist in-universe yet)...

**The BAP, or one ton of Gauss Rifle ammo + 0.5 tons of armor, could be replaced with a Guardian ECM Suite, depending on preference.

Also, the UAC-5 variant:

Is there a youtube of this mech in game play?

[chewie]

It isn't released yet, same as there's no video of the Cicada or the Raven, until the devs release it.

[Arcturious]

So this will be next mech off the boat. Looking forward to seeing it in game, should start getting some variety in the heavies with a lot of the guass users swapping to this instead of the Cat.

What the hell when is this going to enter the game? I can't wait.

if some reading of the forum, you can find out that it is scheduled for implementation on 'Cataphract (November 12th)' in the announcement threads (always great info in there)

[Akrasjel Lanate]

Soon ?

I got you guys to tell me, no need for the announcements.

I kinda missed that one. Hmm could replace my Hunchie in it's LB-10X-AC variant, adding one more medium laser and freakin jumpjets! But as things are right now I really would get rid of that XL engine. XLs are a deathwish on a brawler.

Not a death-trap for those who are skillful enough to survive.
