It's significantly different to the 2 you have, keeping it interesting.
It also makes a pretty nasty LRM boat, with 4xLRM15s boasting a range of 1250M, and better heat + cooldown than normal.
It'll be the next one I get.
I think I used the 8T? The one with only 2 bays and had a blast with that, less point defense weapons than the rest I think, which made fending off lights and mediums pretty irritating. Truthfully I'll be getting the 8R, Q, and 9M once I get some C-Bills together - I can't justify spending MC on C-Bill available mechs.

Good to see they are dropping the Beagle counter range - had a horrible time trying to provide protection for the team!
what are you running in Pirates Bane - I had 4 SL's and MGs plus AMS and ECm but now have 3 med lasers, Sl and ECM.AMS

I love this sale! Bought the Dragon Mastery pack and the Fang, of cousre keeping the Heros and the Champion but going to sell the regular one. Still have some extra MC for some camo for my other mechs and some cockpit jewerly.
Just waiting to actually get to play now, sadly I have to work all weekend so I won't be able to enjoy my new mechs for this extra xp weekend.

I've been running this:
Experimented with 4 Small Pulse Laser, 2MG, but it was a lil too... iunno... lacking somehow.
Currently trying 2ML, 2SL, 2MG but it runs too hot for my tastes.
Debating trying 2 SL, 2SPL, 2MG though I think that'll fall short too.
Allowed to stay with it, I can drop an Atlas within 60% heat using 4SL + 2MG.
The burn times a little high, but it suits my playstyle of sustained harrassing passes.
Ohhhh that's nice - should be getting one then as ordered the resistance pack recently
@ Ovion - loving my Pirates Bane - I'm not great with Lights but its so much fun - although I do still have an AMS (have them on ALL my mechs) - notice that you don't bother?

Yeah, if you got the Zeus Pack paid up, you get it when that timer runs out.
My Zeus isn't isn't paid up yet (though I still get the KGC from the previous top tier packs).
Locusts are good times. Up to 7 you should join me. Need to take my PB out more though. (Wonder if any other Camo Unlocks would look any good on me Locusts)

My PB, one of the 1Vs, and the 1M have DHS among my Locusts atm.
My 1E and 3M rather need them.
The 3S could probably do with them, and I'll probably get them for it eventually.
The other 1V does not need them, as it's 1MPL and 4MGs. Singles is fine.
I am having much more trouble with Grey Death - can't find a build that suits me..........

The sad thing is, I don't even want to drop in it.
Assault queue is at 75%, it'll take a looooooong time, and I'll probably die in moments, so I'll give it a few days and just mess with builds and training grounds, then maybe drop in my Locust and go Crab fishing!

When I alpha, I hit 98-99% heat, but god help you if you're in front of me.
Anything sub-assault in training ground just dissapears in a cloud of smoke, and even then Ican get the rear armour there's a good chance those will go away too.
77.8pt Alpha. I'll be interested to see how it performs in a live-fire situation.
Now to look at Gargoyles.

On my first game, I got 4 kills. Its was nuts. Sadly, I only did 150ish damage since all I did was dual ac20 people in the core. I swear I only fired 5 or 6 times that game.
Hmmnh. I'm tempted to take a look soon'ish (probably January at the earliest though), but I am so out of the loop and practice that I fear I'd get roflpwnd within the first 30 seconds of a game. It also still grinds my gears that apparently no-one at PGI realises how faction militaries work when it comes to the ranks of their MechWarriors. But still ... I hear the Dragon's call.
Does anyone want to offer their review of the current version of Community Warfare?
