What I want to know is; Who the hell is Chet, what in the world a Trebu is, and why does he get one and I don't?

[Sayyid]

Trebuchet is French for Trench Bucket, another name for a siege engine.

They are a lot of fun to operate in real life, and make a wonderful racket of noise when fired.

Just a little correction. The name trébuchet doesn't mean in french ''trench bucket''. It comes from the verb ''trébucher'' that mean ''to trip''. It was thus named because of the weird movement of the mechanism.

U dont need to know why it's named jus that it means another Medium that can mount a very very big engine.. 4 lasers and 130kph anyone

[Joseph Mallan]

I'm fine at 103 Kph Jade thanks!

Twice the speed of an Atlas is scary to us lumbering death pilots!

[The Mecha Streisand]

Bought one. So far, I like it. Feels a LITTLE fragile, but that may just be me sucking at MWO. Probably.

I was a little disappointed that there were only TWO missile slots on the 5N. BUT, that's alright. Being able to squeeze all that melty lazor goodness onto a medium WITH a bunch o' missiles feels good. REALLY good.

Yesh. Moar LRM goodness for Alpine.

2x LLAS 1x AC5 2x LRM15

[XXRAZERBACKXX]

I had fun with mine I bought a 7m
kept the xl250
kept all 5 jj

took the lrm 15's off and replaced them lrm5's
took narc out and replaced it and lrm 5

2 med lasers R arm 1 ER-L in L arm

so speed was 82 which im happy with in a medium and I could fly around map with
the real interesting thing is the single tube for the narc that i replaced with an lrm it makes my fire constant and interesting
10-11111-10-11111-10 kinda like that it was fun
wasnt boasting many kills but it was fun to play with got lots of damage and stayed alive

[Kaarde]

I'm working with the 7m as well. I pulled the 15's and dropped in a Lrm 10 in the right and a Srm six to machinegun out of the NARC hole.

I'm not too sure about the Lrm 10 being enough of a damage dealer though. Was considering trying Artemis on the missile systems to see if it would help.

I think so, but i'm not sure, and I can't be bothered to check atm, sleepy.

[Universe Man]

I think they kinda look ugly, so haven't bought one despite adding new bays for it.
