Even the reseen version?

BULLSHIT!

No, that one is just ugly.

The Pink Floyd Mk. III* is a semi-success.

I just wish I could put more armor on it.

does not compute. input?

Pink Floyd is my customized Hunchback HBK-4P. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Details, man! Details!

Nine Medium Lasers, AMS (With two loads of ammo and CASE), Beagle Active Probe, Ferro Fibrous Armour, 14 Double Heat Sinks, 235 Engine Replacing the 200.

Coolrun and Heat Containment Pilot Trees unlocked.

Ah, a POWER GAMER!
/me approves!

Oh yeah, lots of power...

*Shuts Down Due To Heat*

chainfiring them is probably better.
and if you played that in CBT, people would throw stuff at you ^^

I get off a Mega-Can of Whoopass, then go to chainfire until I have to retreat to cool down.

Unless I'm backed up sufficiently, then I get off two Mega-Cans, then retreat as my heat JUST peaks at 99%.

*nods*
the hunchback is a pocket assault mech basically.

The lack of Ballistic/Missile Dakka is a major weakspot. I was thinking of alternative ones with Ballistic Dakka, but after running out of ammo far too often on those builds...

yep, they are not made for lengthy engagements, when they use missle or cannon weapons usually . .
one of the best mods of the cannon ones is to use a class 10 weapon instead of a class 20.
more ammo, more reach, more space for side weapons. less heat. more space for heat sinks.

but why do you think the lack of missle/dakka is a weak spot? O.o
generally, energy weapons are considered to be superior to anything else . .

Well, because when I fire I light up like a Pink Floyd Concert, and everyone focus-fires on me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Ballistic Dakka doesn't have "Tracer Lasers" or "Plumes"...

Ah that O.o
Well, ok, it's a reason i guess.

Load up on AC2s and plink them to death from a distance.

I have a Cicada with quad AC/2s. It's slow as hell but great fun to snipe with.

My other Cicada sports quad medium lasers, a pair of large lasers, a buttload of heatsinks, and maxed out armor. Moves at 133 kph. Eats assault mechs for breakfast.

I have recently found that the single best weapon for speedy scout mechs is trash talking. Nothing gets the opposing team riled up and not thinking clearly than a light jumping on their base and needling them about it. Invariably 3-4 will split off to go chase you, which makes the remaining opponents easy pickings for your team. Bonus points if it's a big map and by the time the enemy gets back to their base, you're nowhere to be seen, which means they abandoned their teammates for nothing.

Picked up the X-5 on sale. I want to call it TrollMech. 50 point alpha into enemy backside, run away at 150 kph to hide and do it again. So much nerdrage directed at me lately from heavies and assaults.

The new map makes me think of the old westerns every time I play there. It's a hit and run mech's dream, tons of cover. Indirect LRM boats also do well. Snipers and other precision direct fire roles not so much.

Sadly, I don't see as many folks that I know playing anymore.

trash talking is always a good weapon, because you can use it in every game.

I loved that the Wing Commander series had Trash Talking built IN-GAME! The "Taunt" option saved me on quite a few escort missions by having the idiots go away from the freighter I was defending and targeting me.

I could dodge and weave a hell of a lot easier than the freighter could.

Fight smarter, not harder.

"You can't escort in a Heavy Fighter." "I'll show you otherwise."

And I did! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

MW4 Mercenaries: You can't do this Escort-Mission in a single Assault Mech!

Watch me!
