I'm boring and used 2x UAC/10 (6 tons of ammo) and a LB-10X (2 tons of ammo).

As terrible as the 12tons of locked junk on the EXE-C are, I'm having a ball with it in quickplay with 3ERLL and 10ERSL. 416-1683m, LL punishment. Close on me and see how hard I can REALLY hit. I'll never consider it a high-end mech, but lol it's fun. Also, every Night Jerk I've seen thus far decided the smart move was to facerush me. That did not end well for them after i put 180dmg center torso.

2x gauss, 3x med pulse Night Gyr is legit. Lots of ammo, a poo poo ton of pinpoint killing power if you can aim.

I'm personally not a fan of the charge up mechanic. Though I'm starting to get the hang of dekals:

The charge is super rewarding if you can get used to playing with it. I honestly think Gauss is a better weapon post-charge than it was before, since the charge up came with a huge projectile speed boost.

Close on me and see how hard I can REALLY hit. I think that's about the right verdict. I'm running mine with a uAC20 and six ER SLs. It's not good, but it's fun, even without eliting the mech. I imagine it would be much more fun after eliting, but there aren't that many builds I want to try out on the thing. Good opponents can focus the CT very easily, it's incredibly tall to the point that a fair amount of normal cover just doesn't work, all the guns are in super low arm mounts, and it doesn't have the tonnage for massed ballistics or the hardpoints for missiles. It does have two godhands though. And it can run at 80+ kph in short bursts. It's a shame the jumpjets are so worthless- you can't even get on top of the citadel in the middle of river city with them, and that's only about 1.5x the height of the mech itself. Because four tons for MASC is a fantastic deal on this mech, but the eight tons for JJs are just wasted tonnage. I guess what I really want is a Spirit Bear, but no loving way am I giving PGI that much money.

It certainly has it's uses. But the JJs are just painful. i could do SO MUCH with 8 more tons on that mech. Gotta try the godhands build on it for giggles. C'est la vie, c'est la guerre, c'est un pomme de terre.

Mais ceci n'est pas une pipe. I mean, four tons isn't much to a 95 ton mech, and being able to do almost 90 with speed tweak, accelerate and decelerate instantly, and turn to match any light is worth it for that price to me.

I actually am finding that abusing those oddly high chest mounts for poke (I like 3 1700m ERLLs) and then just bitchslapping anyone that gets close with that right hand is disturbingly effective. You better know how to use that MASC though, or you are utterly boned. e: heh, just tried stacking quad LBX-2 with 500 rounds of ammo and going dakka. disturbingly effective right up until I hit some sort of weird bug. Lost my right arm and all my guns became unfireable. For reference, spread was 1RA, 2RT, 1LA, ammo LT. Rysithusiku fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Sep 21, 2016 |

Solo queue has been really fun the past 2 days. Nearly no games under 600 damage, not even the ones I lost. There are so many Kodiaks and Night Gyrs out there to pound damage into.

here is the -D-DC baseline build AS7-D-DC you can mess around with the armor values a bit but keep 95% on the front. Medium lasers can be removed for more ammo

The LBXs are great gate crashers and you get more ammo per ton.

The reduced heat and extra range come in handy often enough. They're also sturdier than the single AC20 so you aren't disarmed the second you lose torso armor. Spreads not ideal but in SRM range it doesn't make a significant difference on non lights.

Anyway, few mistakes. No endo. Its worth 5 tons on an atlas, thats why your engine is so small. Also your leg armor is maxed, which isn't important. You can do about 51/57 points on the legs and be fine, and also free up many tons. With those two changes alone, you can jump to a 325 with full engine sinks. I usually recommend a 350 on an atlas, but 2 lb10 is so weighty you practically have to use a 325, and that's about as small as I'd go. I've heard good things about the 340 as far as a middle ground for twist speed and maneuverability, but I haven't used it and can't speak from experience. what engine are you using that you have to choose between 4's and 2's on a medium?

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:second question: GRF-1S: two artemis SRM-2s and 4 MPL or 2 non-artemis SRM-4s and 4 MPL? I'm assuming you're just trying to basic it before you pitch it. Two basic LRM5's are great for getting all the assist XP. If i have a mech that I just want to get done with, i throw a bap and a sensor range module on and steal ALL the scout xp for the match as well. Based on endo and an xl300(endo), or a std275(endo+ferro) it looks like you can god hand 3-4 larges or LPLs.

I've done it a few times before and it's worth it
