Cataphract

[wanzerfreak]

or an amalgamation of a lot of design influences, while still sporting some original design elements.

major influences of this design are:

following my own suggestion for the leperdude's <a href='http://ravenrepublic.net/index.php?showtopic=329' target='_blank'>Alexander</a> (that's what imma call it till he comes up with an official name), i paired the lemur with the 77a.

the initial B/G (84p+b81) combo is borrowed from guppy's prometheus 9a- *crowd boos* <_< aaanywaayyy.......i thought i might give the b81's low charge drain some purpose by equpping an energy weapon. which leads me to....

the AST rifle + Griffon combo (techically, it ain't the primary combo on this rig ). the valiant type beta sports the r3+giffon combo which provides pretty good accuracy at midrange. i thought i should use an AST rifle for this one.

the lowdown:

now despite the poor ground boost performance, this ac, to me, does not feel "sluggish" unlike most fully-loaded heavies thanks to the underweighing. it still has some decent response. in summary, this ac uses accurate weapons to make up for the lack of mobility.
