TheParadigm posted: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. GRF-1S This is what I'm running now

I think I'll do a couple drops tonight for the Night Gyr war horn. I wonder if it works for TKs.

TheParadigm posted: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. The STD335 is the "sweet spot" engine size. The 340 and 345 each come with a +1.5t weight increase, so it's best to avoid them and build for either a 335 or a 350 for the fourth heatsink. You may have been thinking about XL engines, where the sweet spot for speed/weight ratio happens to be the XL340.

TheParadigm posted:Anyway, few mistakes. I use the 340 and it works. At the range you'd be doing full damage with the AC20 the spread has decreased to the point that you're putting 80% on the part you want. It fires faster is cooler, carries more ammo per ton and once armor is off (and you are under 200m) all of it is basically crit seeking and landing on the same part. Also allows you to slap cheeky fuckers that stay at 400-450 meters that are trying to carve off that torso with the ac-20. Projectile speed is fast which makes for easier hits on anything more mobile than a night gyr as well. It works for me, I'll admit that if you can nail a center torso everytime the burst on the AC20 is great but loads of people know the cooldown and range and treat you accordingly.

If you want to do peak brawl damage you want the as7-s splat dad the AS7-S is a truly special robot I think the main difference between the two is that with the -S your first shot is probably into the front CT, and with the -D-DC your first shot might be into a rear CT

How do engines get shared amongst chassis, by the way? Everything, or just the same chassis, or the same class?

Pattonesque posted:FWIW metamechs has this as a build I was just thinking about how bulky and weighty and hot MPL's are so I looked at the numbers a bit. here's what i came up with Turns out that if you can stomach the loss of ~1 dps you can drop heatsinks and still come out ahead on the heat curve by replacing 4MPL with 2 LPL and their greater range. An MPL hits 6 damage for 4 heat, and an LPL hits 11 for 7. So its juuust shy of being 2 stapled together with greater range. 2 LPL is a 22 point blap vs a 24 point. SRm4's are a personal preferences and weight to fit.

It's funny you say that because while I have no idea what he was screaming at his team he WAS 400 meters behind them. It didn't stop my Night Gyr jumping on him though.

TheParadigm posted:I was just thinking about how bulky and weighty and hot MPL's are so I looked at the numbers a bit. To make the LPLs perform in the same ballpark as the MPLs, you've had to sacrifice FIVE tons of other stuff. Five tons of equipment and armour on a 55-tonner. That's a lot. It can be a legitimate choice if you need more reach, but no, it's not a no-brainer at all. There's a reason having lots of hardpoints is good, especially energy ones - using many smaller weapons is generally a much more efficient use of tonnage than a few bigger ones, and the weight saved lets you run a bigger engine to get in range faster. If you take your LPL build and bring it back to the original MPLs + 16 DHS, those five extra tons let you add an extra heatsink to improve the cooling and upgrade your engine to a 320 in the process.
