Actually quite cool. As the name suggests it is a money making machine. My only issue is the smallish engine but with my speed tweak I am still able to keep up with the heavies. I do not expect this to be a 5 star build for everyone. When I build a mech I plan for between 20-30 volleys of each weapon when judging ammo. As this one stands you get 17 volleys of SRM ammo and 21 From the cannon that is still 830 damage on this build just from ammo and does not count the Large Lasers. You can easily add another ton of ammo by removing a heatsink and not really noticing the 2% loss in cooling. If you want assault firepower in something with Heavy mobility this is a great mech. I use this as an assault escort or grouped with other heavies. I only snipe at targets of opportunity with the LL because of how fragile the Orion CT is (while you are aimed at him a sneaky Gauss cat is aiming at you). This build excels on tight maps, cities, forest colony, anywhere you can use cover to your advantage.

Second game and 7 kills later: [img width=700 height=382]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk187/fhfwolfy/Punisher.jpg[/img] If you just GOTTA have that extra 4 KPH then there is this but keep in mind Orion thrives on BIG alphas and high max DPS in order to survive so while it is a little faster I still prefer the big boom stick.
I greatly enjoyed this build. I did add AMS and drop some armor, though. It took me about a week to really learn how to play this mech. I'm now steadily getting around 400-600 damage and 2-3 kills. Not too great, I know, but I love it!
