    Yeah, there isn't much good you can do with a Belial, but it does have an HSL quirk for Light PPC's, and a range boost. Therefore, quad light PPC's if you don't want to mess around with the missile hard points. Having quad LPPC's with the HSL+1 quirk means that it's basically like having dual PPC's, but weighs 2 tons less. I put each arm on a mouse button (can fire all at once if I want to), and chainfire for all four on Weapon group 3 for continuous cockpit splashing with mildly-damaging blue plasma. Jump around and poke things. It'll make you feel better if you think of it like quad energy AC5's. ;)

    Bonus: With all of those little bolts of free energy, you can go to Crimson Straight and push around and blow up all of the rocks, cars, cranes, and crates you want!

    Three variants, all use 78 of 78 slots too:

    1. LE280 instead of LE300, +1 DHS, added TC1:
    Feels a bit too slow ... with non-snub PPCs you need to be able to get 90m away from anyone approaching you, so being a little bit faster means a somewhat higher chance to survive. But the extra DHS is nice and the TC1 is helpful, too.


    2. XL330 instead of LE300, added TC1:
    Much faster (good, see above), but no extra DHS - and it is XL, but as you can get away faster, this might work.


    3. XL300 instead of LE300, +4 DHS:
    Same speed as the original (stock engine, so budget friendly), +4 DHS - but it is XL and you're not that fast.

    First experiences with the XL330+TC1 build and above skill tree:
    It works great and is fun. I never lost arms, died from a lost side torso only once in a dozen of games, but I got legged multiple times, so I'm moving a bit of armor from arms and head to the legs.
    It runs cool enough to remove the coolshot nodes (+UAV) from the auxiliary skills (frees 6 skill points) and go nearly full survival instead (uses 5), I use the remaining skill point for Vent Calibration 3.

    With the changes to the LPPC's, this is even better now.

    The Uziel has really huge side torsos that stick up above the cockpit. That's why I go LFE. XL is too vulnerable.

    I have to try it again :)
    Yes the XL is vulnerable, but the extra speed of the XL330 compared to LE300 allows me to keep my distance, which helps a lot with not losing a side torso.
