This is the build I came up to after the post bellow. It woks like a charm as a skirmisher/flanker. It´s all hit and run with this guy, but it also does a great job of protecting the slow a$$ assaults as you can keep running behind lights / mediums long enough to do damage (and you outclass them both on the firepower and armor dept). It works even better with the Pretty Baby, if you got the cash (the PB has more tubes, so the SRMs launch in one volley) The idea here is to cause shock by throwing 80 tons at 76 kph (~82 with speed tweak) at your enemies faces. The armor is maxed out and dps is not to be discarded also, and it can dish 186 points of damage in 14 seconds (before overheating). The weakness lies in XL engine and of course it can't face the standard slow-ass assault head on (although I would like to test it 1 vs 1, since you have better maneuver capabilities) The idea here is to let scouts find weak spots in enemies defenses and them throw this thing in such places. Would make a great LRM boat/Support hunter What do you guys think? Do I invest an extra 7 million c-bills on this thing?
I'm using an XL350 with max armor, 3 medium lasers, 2 large lasers, 2 streaks, 1 AMS, 2 tons AMS ammo, 2 tons of Streak ammo. Works really well. I can take on anything but an Atlas and a Cataphract. Atlas is self-explanatory. Cataphracts wielding dual AC5's and dual AC2's thrash me every single time. I get about 3 kills and 500 damage per game.
