After testing it seems that the '63 is the best carrier of slightly bigger guns. The option to strip armor off that LA yet retaining energy secondary weapon in the form of 2E at the LT is wonderful. LBX seems to be the best when it comes to this. ALTERNATIVE version, with SHS, but a much faster engine. I tested this on my other urbie, but still prefer DHS in the end. Oh, also posting the somewhat failed AC10 version:
I've been struggling with squeezing anything bigger then an ac/5 into an 'urbie but to no avail. Totally agree with you on the dhs, and the xl 170 seems to be the sweet spot engine-wise. XL170+DHS+AC/10(LB10X)=not enough ammo and/or no/weak backup weapons. sad panda.
