It honestly looks to me like the Dragon does not suffer from Firestarter syndrome (Where only a few Variants are actually unique) and can actually do a lot. Even though the large nose does get me blown up a lot :blush:

but currently i am in a fork on the road

my grinding days of C-Bills is pretty much using the Direwolf-B trial mech with the Stromcrow trial mech as well

so pretty much the decision to make here is either get the Direwolf B chassis which cost 17 mill

or go with triple Dragon chassis and basic upgrade them with Endo steel, DHS and AMS and master them

Help a fellow pilot?

Pilot skill i may get with GXP now is the Advance zoom as I go for long range snipe shots

Thanks

"Not even worth talking about."

"You need to put far too much effort in them to perform well."

"Other chassis are far more forgiving."

"Hard to play, even harder to do good in, and far too vulnerable."

"Looks like a truck on legs."

This is what you are told when asking about the Dragon chassis. And you know what? I don't care. I liked them when I started playing - they were my first chassis - and I still like tham 2.5 years later.

Thanks to the quirk system there are more people out there who at least are getting careful when spotting an opposing 1N. Hell, they are even called prime targets. Would you have thought in January 2013? Me neither.

Show your love to this chassis here. Show us pictures, show cockpits, tell stories about your battles or simply post pictures why you like your Dragon.

This is not primary a bragging thread, this is about dedication. Show it!

Note that I already do own & love the Flame. Additionally I also mastered the 1C as well and went all the way to completing elite on both the 1N and 5N, so I do know a lot about Dragons.

My gut feeling tells me that the 1C can already mount all the best builds the Fang can do, so the only significant difference seems to be the ability to mount 2 ballistics. Now, double AC5 backed up by double ML and SRM4 certainly looks nice, but ... really? Maybe somebody is out there who is experienced with both 1C and Fang? What about the other Dragon experts on this website?]]> 11 Support Dragon?

What are your guys thoughts? NARC is very heavy (and requires ammo), and I also think we'd need somewhere near 100kph to be useful at all. Whenever I mix around a build, it looks something like a watered down Kintaro, but I feel like there has to be something I can do.

How much NARC ammo do you guys use generally? I've been fine with 2 tons usually, and if we do that, I may be able to throw something together.

In a quick toss up, I got something like this:



This is all in theory, so I just tossed in the biggest engine I could fit with all that. I could probably go bigger if I remove BAP, but for some reason I decided to add...

In general, it seems like the Dragon is slow, ponderous, and fragile. I've died to a LOT of side torso destructions, which surprised me, because the shoulders are pretty small. Are people really aiming for the shoulders, or did something change with the hitboxes, or am I just getting unlucky? I try to stay back and snipe with Gauss, (I think I'm a pretty good shot.) and then...

All builds have the engine, endo-steel, and near-full armor (within 1 ton and within half ton, rounded to the nearest half ton), but no extra heat sinks or equipment. This gives you an idea of the tonnage you have available for weapons and special equipment. My recommendation is full armor, shaving the armor off the legs to round down to the nearest ton.

300 XL : 29 tons (400 STD) : 29.5 tons (384 STD) : 30.5 tons (394 FF) : 31 tons (376 FF)
