A tad hot and requires juggling 4x weapon groups, but a fast/jumpy threat at mid-short ranges. Stagger fire the LPL (w/ LBX) and LL to avoid heat penalties, use SRM-4s close-in for knockout punch. Can swap out the LPL for PPC or ER-PPC for more range, but that makes it run too hot to use those weps in close range.
Definitely too hot and too few ammo. I would drop the LPLas and some JJs for having more Cooling, Speed & Ammo.
I also agreed on first glance, but in practice I don't ever run out of LBX ammo and probably use SRMs too infrequently to run out of ammo (aka when I'm very close). Your mileage may vary here, but it's fun to play for me
It's a solid build. I agree with Blagg, though. I'd drop the LPL for a LL (keep same firing group w/ LBX) and bump up each ammo class another ton. Very nice for some long range kick and then a great finisher in close. I like it. Also, you'll lose about 10kph, but, it may not be a bad idea to look into a STD engine if you want to use this as a close range fighter (LBX/SRM) You could fit an engine around the STD280-STD300 range with a few tweaks, keeping your firepower and upping your survivability.
Here's my take on it. I swap out the SRM-4s for a pair of streaks, which frees up a couple of tons for other stuff, though I'm currently trying to find the best balance of jump jets, heat sinks, and ammo.
My current DS is actually pretty similar. Its an XL360 build so it doesn't used the standard engine the mech comes with. I was going for 3 things: 1) 80 kph 2) 7.00 sustained dps+ (elite) 3) max alpha If you want more JJ's, drop the SRM's down to 4s, especially the second 6 because one missile will lag.
