Bring home the dakka baby. One of the builds that I can't wait to try out on the rifleman. + ferro-fiber because wow, how'd I miss that.
No reason NOT to Ferro on this build. Can get that extra ton + armor on the legs, or shave just a tad more for a free ton and a half. Choice of engine bump, ammo, and/or additional HS! Other than that, I look forward to using essentially this exact build. Bonus range, velocity, and cooldown? Slap AC-2 modules in and TRY not to giggle.
Given the range of the AC2s you can probably easily get away with a smaller engine. Backup weapons or not are more of a personal choice, but as quad SL won't keep a light mech away anyway, I skipped them entierly. FF & XL 280: Spoiler
Pick ranged arena, blast your foes chest to pieces as they try to close, when (and if) they eventually close open up with the lasers too, profit.
de facto S7 D5 build. LE (unlike 4xAC5) and AC2 have more disruption and only slightly lower DPS on their own than the AC5s. SLs make them surpass it at very little heat. Don't own a 3C myself sadly, have been doing similar things with the dao breaker.
Fair. I prefer my armour completely maxed and a level of weapon fire sustain well above QP standards for Solaris but whatever works for you, dude.
I run something similar to this. Didn't realize it wasn't posted until Yesterday. I'll check what the details are to add to this concept. I think I have SPLs. 4AC2s is a solid S7 setup though.
That is what I'm running. I find in S7, I don't need too much ammo and I have all the ammo skills. I also have all the armor skills so my legs are an even 50 ea. I have all the cooldown nodes so having the extra cooling in S7 lets me not worry about being the first one to the cook off it it comes to it.
