    This build can do just about anything. You can snipe long range with 2 AC2's for some ok damage, and once you crit them open, use your gauss rifle to finish them off. Best played at range, the gauss rifle and lasers are for last resort or finishing enemy mechs.

    some have called this build, Riveting.

    EDITED~modded to show a larger engine and more ammo, due to feedback.

    Tried this build out. seems pretty good to me. I like the suppression of the AC2s while I pound on ppl with guass and strip armor with MLas.

    killed 3 singlehandedly and got 3 other assists on rivet city. had good cohesion too though.

    Fun build, probably my favorite for the 4X aside from my usual AC10 loadouts.

    I tried this build. It works like Charm! The only problem i see is relative low Ammo! Why dont you go XL engine? Would fix that matter and fighting in Long Range with this build is justifying the use of XL engine.

    My Version with XL Engine:

    I ran this build when the CTF had a larger hit box for their side torso. I would get killed too fast, so I ran with a STD engine. With the newer hit boxes, I suppose an XL engine would be a good upgrade; for the speed in particular.

    As for the ammo concerns, I ran this build when there was no HSR. I REALLY had to concentrate to hit targets. And it was ok. Now, it's fantastic, most of the time. Sometimes, the rounds don't register damage, but it helps to have 2 high ROF weapons in addition to the gauss.

    Excellent 4X. Especially since it's so hard to GET TO a fight in a 4X, that range is a tremendous advantage over most builds. 5 stars, sir!

    And that max DEEPS! Niiiice. :D

    Chatt.
