Yep,you usually have to set your weapon groups at the start of a game after you add new weapons to a mech.
The trail mechs overheat easily so make sure to manage your weapons groups.

I had a streak cat before,you need to have a large engine when running a streak cat so you can close the distance without too much difficulty.You should also be able to max the armor on a streak cat without too much of a problem.

I'm going to be saving up for this once it hits open Beta.
A fast dragon that can act as a scout and chase down lights without too much trouble.
AC/2 is for knocking enemies so they can't fire back and medium lasers are for damage.SSRM2 is for scaring lights.

I don't think I'm gonna have enough time to farm credits to get the XL engine.
Just running with the STD 260 engine atm. Sitting on 1.5mil credits.

Lol,you still have a week before open Beta.I make 2.5mill a day playing with Premades.Especially last night where a group used a method to win a game under 5minutes.
Stack AMS and let all the Atlas mechs walk at the front while pushing to their base with the shortest route.

Oh crap. I thought Open Beta is tomorrow?
Yah I played with some Yanks over the weekend. I made around 3mil. Worked quite well together. Definitely easier with premades.
I'll see if I can join tomorrow night again. Should roll a Streak Kitty with me, pick targets apart

I played with one before but it didn't suit my style,it's basically just get in close and wait for the lockon then fire,they usually hit the center torso but some good players will turn their mechs to spread the damage around.
Nice thing about the Streak cat is that you can put the streaks in chainfire and just keep pounding a target and he won't be able to hit back accurately.

You should be able to set them up already,they are essential in any mech.
Use the arrow keys and right ctrl.
Left and right arrow keys is to select a weapon group and up and down is to select a weapon.
Lets say i start with a mech with only one weapon
I would use the up and down arrow keys to select the weapon and then use the left and right arrow keys to select the weapon group and then i would press right ctrl to assign the weapon to that weapon group.

depends,The D-DC Variant is pretty balanced for all roles.
Also if you are going to use the new ferro,endo and DHS components then only use them on mechs that mount very few weapons.they won't fit on mechs that carry allot of weapons.

I was thinking of goin with the AS7-K variant.
I dunno what to do lol. This patch has totally put me out of wack. I dunno what mech I want to build now lol.
What are you building?
*edit*
I see the D-DC has a command console. What the heck is that?
Also, is it wise to go with an XL Engine in an Assault mech? If your torso gets popped you're dead. Higher chance of dying no?
I must have a chat with you some time when you are available. Work out a strat for us and I'll build accordingly me thinks

The command console is what it says,when you press B to open the map you can also open the command console top left to give orders on the fly.it's usefull for pubs where you don't have guys on TS but mostly the players will just ignore it.(they don't like sitting still much so they end up dying one by one when they go over a hill with a ton of enemies at the other side)
Cool,Most people run an XL in an Atlas to free up space.By the time you lose a torso you are probably close to death even without an XL engine.
Do note that the XL engine is expensive to repair on larger mechs.
I have a Dragon and an Awesome now,here are my builds for them so far:
DRG-1C
It's till incomplete,the repair bill for these 2 are pretty high when i lose and even when i win it takes about 80-90% of my payment to repair my mech.
