Whats your favorite build?

[mattig]

This kinda goes along the same idea of whats your favorite mech, but at the same time not so much. This build could be one you thought would never work, but it did, or funny builds you like to put on your mech every now and again, or indeed the most effective build you've found. The build you put down can be on any chassis, favorite mech or not.

I used to reconstruct the Mad Cat/Timber Wolf with the same weapons configuration as Mechassault's style.

2 Clan PPCs
2 Clan Machine Guns
2 LRM 15s-20s

It actually worked pretty well; my only complaint about the Mad Cat is that while it is a Heavy system, it seems to fold up in fights against other Heavy Mechs by itself...or perhaps it's my fighting style.

I also have long range laser loadouts, as well as close range configurations using 4 Assault Lasers. I'm liking the Assault Laser loadout I've chosen since alot of my battles seem to be in-your-face.

One of my favorite builds is a relatively simple one. Its in the Hellhound Chassis. I like putting the same number of weapons as the model shows. The best build I found that does this in the whole game was for the hellhound. I had an srm 2 or 4, An ac5 and a er large laser, on the arms I had to er meds and an ac2.

Same number of weapons in the same places as the chasis model in the game. Thats the only reason I love this build, its functional, but it doesn't hold up well in the arena.

If people are interested in describing their loadouts, I will construct them and put them into a pack of variants to host on the ModDB page!

[mattig]

that would be an interesting idea. shame no one else is interested in describing their builds, it seems.

Well, I've already put up a pack of variants on the ModDB page. I will expand this pack and add more variants as time goes on.

awesome

Either a Supernova with every slot filled with base tech inner sphere medium lasers, or a Crab with every slot filled with inner sphere medium lasers. I just love seeing people get slagged by medium lasers.

I was always partial to a Mad Cat with an ERPPC in each arm and a light gauss rifle each in left/right torsos. I have to sacrifice speed to get that in, but that's ok with me, and the loadout seems to work well for me.

a whole mech with machine guns only... its so stupid that its good
