    As you can deduct from the title, a build without ghost heats! Fire away! (you can swap AMS + armor for BAP for faster target info gathering)

    Essentially the same build can be done on a black knight, but the stalker has higher hardpoints and can do it with a standard engine and ECM :)

    5/5,
    I bought the STK-3FB thinking about this build, but I use a different, asymmetrical arrangement: 3 LPL on the right side, 3 MPL on the left. This way I can right-poke with the LPLs, and try to shield more with the left.

    This plays very nice, and the 3FB avoids some of the other Stalkers pitafalls with 85 deg yaw (vs. 60) and boosted maneuverability. The fact that this mech requires 0 (!) quirks just says how good it is. OK, the boosted accel/deccel yaw/turn rates are like hidden quirks.



    P.S.,
    Regarding the original build, I remember something about BAP not countering enemy ACM when installed on ACM mechs. AMS with 1/2 ton ammo is not much, so I threw in a TC1 instead.

    5/5,
    Ive been having allot of fun with the Stealth armour variant of this mech.
    Stealth actually has a use, when you want to turn a corner to get the jump on somebody at less than 300m or so, activate the Stealth armour!

    Trading the STD for a Light Engine seems to be the only down side, but it allowed me to add a TCIV too so i think its well worth it.



    Skills
    Armour - Structure
    allows you to pump heat into structure!
    Operations - All heat - this baby runs hot, especially in stealth mode
    Sensors - Dual ECM & Seismic still not sure if seismic works with stealth
    Mobility - Full Speed Tweak maximimise use of the mechs mobility quirks!
    Consumables - Doubel Cool Shot did i say she runs hot?

    I find the weapons tree has poor returns, and Pulse Lasers dont really need any shorter durations.
