So I'm at another crossroads here, and not sure how I want to configure my hangar. So I thought I'd drop a list of what notable stuff I've got to work with, and see what folks might choose to build or recommend. These are the main things, I've got loads of lesser stuff floating around that I didn't think worthwhile to list. But assume I'm open to buying at least Silver stuff straightaway (for instance, another Griffin). Gold/WSP...maybe.
I generally prefer knife-fighting, but know it's good to have some options midrange as well. I have all five slots. I typically use the "last slot" for something a little different, like the Hydra Doc, Pin Stalker, or Geppo (Gekko Gepard).
Bots Carnage 7

It's hard to build without using our own personal bias on what we like to run. So disclaimer, this would not be the "best" hangar from the list here, but its what i would deploy with these options: 1) Lance w Thunder 7, Orkan 8, Orkan 7 2) Galahad w Taran 8, Magnum 8 x 2 3) EITHER Carnage w 2 x Zeus or Doc with Tulus x 4 4) Stalker w Magnum 6 x 2 (or Gareth if you really like him. I mean, you have 2 afterall ) 5) Griffin w Taran 6 x 2 and Aphid 7 x 2 I think the overall armory could use another Ork to make a pair for the Griff. I would also focus on evening out the bots/weapons a bit so the whole hangar can be right around the same consistency. Cheers!

Two more shields! On those shields? Painted Galahads dawg. I got one more thing for you dawg, instead of your normal shield, we attached another Galahad to your arm hinge, complete with Galahads in every weapon spot! Enjoy your pimped out ride homie!

You nailed the Lance, Galahad, and Carnage, and what I'm gonna likely bring back in with the Doc. I like the Gareth, but not enough for two. My son accidentally bought the second one earlier this week when he was trying to show me a Rogatka in the shop. Griffin is interesting, I'm not a Griff fan but am coming around to the idea I'll need to run one. I definitely do need to even out some of my weapons, part of the reason I'm looking to get some focus here. I tend to jump around a bit on what I run.

I like the Gareth, but not enough for two. I'm not a Griff fan Gareth: I knew this, and was just trolling you a bit... Griff: It is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be destroyed, as Obi-Rhino was. Join us, and together, we can rule the skies. Don't fight the Griff. Be the Griff.

I see you don't have any listed but have you considered a Trident rig of some kind? Carnage Trident would be a good mid range rig if you dont have something in those lanes already. Or even a carnage treb rig would be cool. anyway. My two cents..

</div>I was thisclose to executing on Trids but then I got the idea to put Hydras on the Doc instead. I'm saving WSP back up after buying the Carnage and have considered them again. Part of me also wants to try a tri-Ork Fujin, tho, so I'm a bit torn.

Orkan Fujin is stupid fragile... You should try an Aphid Orkan Galahad (separate thought).

Dredd77 Full hangar of Stuka Griffins. Stuka Griffins are the bee's knees!. Stuka stuka stuka. Suck eggs, Stuka naysayers. Also, try gettin another gekko and slap all 4 on a Patton instead of 3 on the Gepard. Level the gekkos a bit more, and instant fun. Also makes for a decent Carnage killer. And Furies typically shuffle to cover.

I started putting a hangar suggestion together and realized I was just going to repeated what the wise panda suggested here.

Since you already own Gekkos you should try; 1. Gekko/Trident Natasha: I liked this build for midrange. Personally, I find the Gekkos a better compliment than the Pins since they can reach out to 600m (and then some). Also, two Gekkos do a similar amount of damage as one trident. 17,136 vs 20,550 (assuming everything is maxed.) Another reason I liked this build, if you see a Stalker running for center you can zap him with the Gekkos causing him to use his special ability prematurely that way by the time he gets to center his ability will be spent allowing your tridents and your teammates to kill him before it's taken. Lastly, just tap the red button to shoot. No need to tap on each individual trident like the poor mans Fury. 2. Hydra/Orkan Doc: I was going to say 4x Orkan but you only have 3. I know it sounds unorthodox but you could stay close(er) to the action and chip away at a red. Then when they eventually get annoyed and try to engage you instead of running away like the spiral/hydra Griffin users you could finish then off. Also, with the splash that Orkans have, and the fact you've already been hitting then with hydras already, I feel like you could kill them before they turned the corner. Lastly, two hydras do almost exactly 75% (75.38% to be exact) the damage as two Aphids of the same level assuming all the aphids land (which they rarely do.) Essentially you'd have a Stucka Griffin minus the Aphids and the Griffin, both of which you don't like anyway. 3. Ancile/Taran Lancelot: High survivability with moderate firepower. I reccommend the instant that this bot hits the ground you fire one Taran 4x that way you're never not slinging plasma. 4. Aphid Jesse: I know you do not like Aphids unlike me whose an Aphid enthusiast. On many occasions I've scored over a million on maps like Power Plant & Dead City with an Aphid Patton (level 9 Patton, level 10 Aphids). The thing I've always noticed is that as soon as I throw them people target me and throw them back (if you can dish it, you can take it, right?) In a Patton you can side step them but you still take scratches here and their. With a Jesse's speed you could side step them all together. I've always wanted a Jesse for this reason and I'm a bit jealous you have one. I know you'll probably not try this build but I recommend it for biased reasons. 5. Plasma Jihad (Galahad): Tried and true workhorse. 6. Thunder Carnage: I use mine as a Janitor, to clean up the last remaining reds towards the end of a match. Or I use him early, find a Galahad and shadow him. A Galahad with shield up is the same speed as a Carnage whose not rushing and your thunders shoot right over his head. It's a match made in heaven. The two of you combined make a Tarancilot with 2 thunders. Headed to bed and will comment tomorrow, but just wanted to say...

I feel the Lance is naked without an Ancile so: Tarancilot Plasma Had PDB or DB Thunder Carnage Hydra/Zeus Doc I like this but the dock can't equip a Zeus...Zeus will be good to swap for the thunders if your feeling the night's competition calls for an extra ranged bot. Since you're kinda like like meh about mid range the Doc is cool at least he is fast... If you don't want to do quad tulus I'd run at least 2 and match em with either Hydras or Molot MKIIs. When Pix finally follows through on adding the Orkan reload mechanic to the Tulus they will be very effective and worth having leveled.
