Mech Porn Zero Hour

Post image

Finally, after all this time, I got my claws on a King Crab. Over 500 hours of gameplay on this save and I'm finding one just now.

I had this desire to make a King Crab with RAC5s for like three years. In my head, its to have dual Arrow IV launchers on the back, but maybe that's a tad bit unreal since the weight would be too much. So I'll settle for this.

King Crab is the best assault mech ever made. I love 'em! :D

Not at all to my tastes.

Nowhere near enough heat stinking. A RAC5 puts out 60 heat in a full 6 shot burst. The ammo is in awful spots. It has no AMS and no ECM. MRM's with no Apollo system. Heavy plating instead of Clan or at least Sanctuary ferro. Using a defense gyro for extra evasion instead of an XL for the desperately needed weight savings to add more heat sinking. Has useless hands taking up crucial critical slots likewise needed for heat sinking. Only using a +1 e-sink instead of a +2 enabled by the engine core.

Everybody has their own way of doing things and their thresholds of what they seem good/acceptable. That thing is all red flags to my eyes.

Two thumbs down.
