2022年1月21日 · Orion is the one of a few non-assault mechs after the that's capable of mounting AC + LRM + SRM + Laser(s) which is IMO the most efficient way to pack damage output into a battlemech. Autocannons are heavy but get top marks in firepower and heat efficiency.

2023年2月8日 · Different variants for different preferences and requirements. Specific to mech warrior 5. You'd probably want something with short range punch. Ie AC 20 or 10 and srms. In a broader scale, it's a solid 75 ton mech with potential to cover lots of roles. Just not many of its functions shine in MW5

Sometimes called “a poor man’s Atlas”, the Orion is nonetheless a venerable, general-duty heavy ’Mech. Secured into legend as the 'Mech in which Aleksandr Kerensky stormed Amaris’s last defenses on Terra, the Orion is one of the best known ’Mechs in history.
