    Actually, a lot of the trial builds are either awful (the DWF is pretty bad too), or awful for newbies (HBK has 9 MLs, insta-ghost heat). There are only a few mechs like the SCR trial that are good for new players to use...

    Umh it has inbuilt cAP, plus a Tag and launcher. Not sure what the problem is beyond the chassis has almost no tonnage allowed.

    I took a few screenies of IFR and MLX builds...but I could never bring myself to post them. I mean...the mechs are so limited, how can they not be cringeworthy half the time? Not the builder's fault that the mech has so few options...

    Well the IFR you can do bits with but it has to be so focused. I ended up dropping my split weapon system versions for quad erml with TC1 and DHS for example. Actually quite liked it in the end but its still a weak mech however you look at it.

    I don't ever see pissing a stream of the equivalent of 3 lrm 5's in chain fire mode an effective use of tonnage. Almost anything would be better than this :)

    Actually I do believe that. Those poor pilots. It's like the new locust. At least the adder isn't the bottom rung anymore.

    But the few good Mynx builds out there is nice and fun.
    Thing is, The ECM arm on it is so gimpy, pretty much your only choice for it is cERPPC, or maybe a cERLL(ack).

    Not really. the 1 ERPPc and ECM is marginally effective but reasonally fun as long as no pressure is on. As soon as you can't stay in cover to drop heat its sub standard. None of the other setups I'd tried have been at all effective.

    hi im new to this forum, and i just saw the worst dire wolf build ever possibly.
    all he had on him was 2 erppcs and a ac5.
    if your getting outgunned by lights your doing Daishi WRONG!!!



    Also lost when leading 600 points to 300 and had 3 cap points somehow, 3 people on each team left

    Thanks! That is just entertaining. You made me lol for real dude.
    Especially since you can double that weapon count and still have a buttload of room.


    Makes me think of this build... never have the heart to try it.

    Playing the turret, safely behind our lines.
    Yes, this is a variant only available for MCs. Pukometer is reaching critical level! :yuck:

    Yeah, I saw a few LRM-Crabs out there today as well. Made me want to cry, it was just so sad. :( :cry:

    Probably the worst thing I see with these LRM atlas, dire, kingcrab is they often forget to use the other weapons they have. Twin AC20's are useless if you don't ever fire them..

    Sure they hadn't run out of ammo as I'm seeing them run out left right and centre atm. People are packing really low ammo - literally the ammount for 1 AC20..... 28 is just 14 shots per gun....

    Well, Technically the 0000krab have 2x20 +2x15 for missile, and no bonus for AC. So if you go all out on energy and LRM I guess it is viable.
    You will have lots of Tonnage for DHS and ammo, and be able to go with things like 2x PPC + 2x LL, 4x LRM15
