<br />
The magic of beating your enemy until is sees all colors of the rainbow (or a common unicorn fart) is what this mech was meant for!<br />
It&#039;s basically a middle-ground between two latest mech designs sporting HLL plus a combination of either 4 HML and no DHS or 4HSL and 2 DHS.<br />
<br />
HSL can be swapped for ERSL to have better range approximation with the HML as such:<br />
<br />

Before you think &#039;Oh I know, I&#039;ll add micro lasers for even more colors!&quot;<br />
No.<br />

The name is inspired by the upcoming Hellfire mech that&#039;s coming out, which sports Heavy Lasers as its defining weaponry. This Ice Ferret Rainbow Crow is mimicking the same heavy laser loadout. It&#039;s probably also the only good way to get some damage out of this chassis which has much too little pod space to know what to do with.]]></content:encoded>

Not sure if this is better than the heavy laser builds, but it&#039;s possible, and that&#039;s already an achievement for this poor fridge ;p]]></content:encoded>

What&#039;s more fitting for a rainbow crow than to bring a rainbow of weapons?<br />
Red ERSL<br />
Yellow HML<br />
Blue cSRM<br />
<br />
I removed artemis because it&#039;s heavy and imo not worth the 67% weight increase for a cSRM6 which has bad spread with and without artemis both.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I found the Ice Ferret a really difficult mech to figure out. I tried numerous iterations of heavy lasers (small &amp; medium) and missiles but found the damage output anaemic, heat too high, or cycle times too slow to really have an impact. This was the build that finally clicked for me. If you hit the HML first, you get two cycles of MPL and can start over.<br />
<br />
With the armour and speed I use this as a forward scout in the early stages, and then skirmish around the heavies and assaults providing ECM cover and amplifying their damage once the team catches up. The HML provide punch, and the MPL DPS. I put a lot of points into sensors to boost the scout utility. <span style="text-decoration: underline">Note:</span> Artemis comes fitted and I didn&#039;t remove it.<br />
