My cat A1
Run xl 295 endo and double heatsinks and artemis
The basic is a shot gun mech. you can take a punch too since you have maxed out armor. The down side is make sure you protect your sides. With an xl 295 your top speed is 73.5 with speed tweak gives you 80.9 Gives you enough speed to close gaps and run circles behind assaults. Try and get behind them and its pretty much over. If you find xls too squishy you can run regular engine as well i just find you don't have the speed to get away. The up side is you gain 4 more missle spots since you can run all 6 srm 6 vs slot limitation which is why i end up wiht 2 srm 4s
You have a couple more guys here who like the Cats loaded with SRMs w/ Artemis! I have my Founder's Cat decked out with 2 SRM6s w/ Artemis, 2 LLs, and 2 MLs. I have a gausscat for my K2 and that bores the crap out of me... I'd much rather be brawling with an SRM Cat!
Of course the other build for the C1 is the Streakcat... that's what I've done with mine in the past. You'll find a couple of devotees for that build around here as well :)
My plan for my 3rd Cat is somewhere in between: 4 SRM6s and 2 MLs :)
Doomstrike, Valcutta and me all ran SRM Cats in a few matches today. The carnage was off the chart (When we could stay out of each others LOS:). So much fun!! If anyone else has an A1-SRM CAT we should hook up a four man of SRM Cats. I think we just might be unstoppable.
ferretgr the a1 is only missle points so the laser builds don't really work for it. As for the K2 I'll post my build for that one as well. the trick if you like brawling is to dump the Gauss rifles that blow up when someone spits on you with dual AC20's They don't explode easly on k2s and you can run with full 422 armor so you can bash with anyone, I run with a standard 200 in mine so its slow 54 kph but it sure packs a punch and your whole mech can get striped out and you can still be fighting
Yeah, like I said, the Streakcat is my favorite A1 build, though I must say yours looks frightening. I actually decided I'd play around with my K2, and decided to go with 2 LL and 2 UAC5s... it's a monster! ...when it doesn't jam both barrels on shot one. But for those times I still have 2 LLs! :)
I had a srm cat build at one time but have not gone back to it in a while.
