    The 1S looks like it could become a very nice 85t Missileboat ^_^

    Variant Hardpoint info:
    BLR-1D
    RA: 1 Energy
    RT: 2 Energy, 1 AMS
    LT: 2 Energy
    LA: 3 Ballistic

    BLR-1S
    RA: 1 Missile
    RT: 2 Energy, 1 AMS
    LT: 2 Energy, 2 Missile
    LA: 1 Missile

    1D is so useless. Lose 2 energy, 1 missile from the side torsoes, gain an extra ballistic but cram it on the same arm with the 2 other ballistics? Great, I guess you can run 3 MG now...

    I guess so. I've never had a Victor, so I had to look up its hardpoints. All three of the Victor variants look incredibly alike, but the trade-off for the Victor variants is far less than the BLR-1D.
    VTR-9S to VTR-9B is 1 Missile for 1 Ballistic, 9S to 9K is 1 Ballistic and 1 Missile for 1 Energy (and more JJ), while the BLR-1G to 1D is 3 hardpoints (2 Energy, 1 Missile) for 1 Ballistic and absolutely nothing else. Would've been nice to get something like a second Energy hardpoint on the RA.

    It's a great LRM boat? Works nice as SRM aswell. Expand your question a bit?

    Yeah, sry... well, it got some very nice MPLas quirks, buty the ability to brawl depends on the ability to torso twist (see: BLR-1G...). There are also -energy heat as well as missile range and cool down quirks on top, but I am mainly after the capabilities to wield massive energy weapons.
