ok im a BW4 BK player now most servers on BK play unlimmeted ammo and no heat

but im wanting to build my self a maddy for heat play ( just in case)

so far ive peered into the mech designs and guide to the maddy and have a few ideas but id love suggestions

( im looking at a few of wild cards at the moment)

any help?

Sure, what do you want to do with it ? Brawl, Snipe or missileboat ? And I'm assuming this is for use with BK ?

it is for use in BK and to be honest id like to snipe/anti snipe ( thats what i do in my other) id just like to avoid overheating often : /

Not sure what the heat'd be like in BK but you can easily fit 2 erppc's and a Light Gauss on the MadCat here in Mercs. It's got BAP, LAMS and Enhanced Optics although I'm not sure it'd have that in BK and Light Amp comes as standard here. if EO are not an option put the spare ton into Light amp or strip a heatsink for it if you can use EO. It's got nearly full armour, I shaved the head a bit but the rest is full and it does 80 kph. Heat efficiency is 92 although you'll have to experiment and see what it is in BK. I'm a fairly conservative sniper mech builder since I don't like sniping and I try not to do it so I like to be able to run away, hence the speed. Someone else will be able to squeeze more guns (lose some speed and heatsinks, add 2nd Light Gauss) on but it'd be slower and less heat efficient although it would be well within the useable limits and the heat efficiency may even still be green.

Edit: No it isn't, drat, still, nice idea and if you go easy on the PPC's it's definately useable

My favorite Mad Cat snipers:
1. 3 ERLarge 2 Light Gauss Rifles
2. 6 ERLarge
3. 2 Light Gauss 2 ISPPC's

The heat curve is more forgiving in Black Knight than it is in Mercs, (not to mention the fact that the heat bug still worked back then) so all of those are perfectly valid variants. I add Enhanced Optics and strip some leg, back and head armor to make it work. If you're sniping correctly you don't need much armor anyway.

I used ot take the easy way out, ballistics are more fun

well ive managed to work out a maddy which seems to work nicely

i went with the 6 er large and got max ferro armour on it ( not to mention 12 heat sinks)

Only Twelve?

For sniping, I just take a 6 ER Large Laser Nova Cat with 27 Heat Sinks. But then again, it doesn't quite have the electronic options compared to those Mad Cat variations.

well after a bit of fiddleing ive built an other maddy im pleased with though not as much a sniper as i would have liked it works with in the 400-800m range and it never overheats by weapon fire alone bacicly i have 2 UAC5s (each with extra ton of ammo) 1UAC2 and 2 ER large laser the mech works on a torrent of fire idea with a constant bombardment of fire hitting the target. the mech has 10 heat sinks but due to only haveing the two er large lasers it cools down before the next shot allowing longer battle time.
