    LRMs just got buffed, so I wanted to share my 733 MissileTart adaptation for the 733P. Same # of lrms, but has the energy hardpoints in the arm, a bit more ammo, and a smaller engine.



    Consider swapping out that single DHS - some armor for a BAP.

    This mech combined with Adv. Sensor Range, Adv. Target Decay, and a UAV should be very interesting! :D

    I'd only do 2xLRM20. They're gonna come spitting out rather slowly from the arm, and with AMS supposedly buffed, it might be chewing through your missiles faster. Those 11 tons can go towards a bigger engine, more DHS, more ammo, more jump jets, and/or more secondary weapons.

    while your points may be valid, you are not describing a missileboat, which is the point of this build! :D

    I am still describing a missile boat. I'm just saying take off the LRM20 in the arm that is going to take 4 salvos to spit out the missiles, and leave the 2xLRM20 in the side torso. It still has 2/3 the LRMs, and it still shoots 87% of the LRMs on the first fwoosh.

    Getting more speed, jump jets, ammo, and/or DHS just helps the LRMing. It doesn't change the identity of this as an LRM boat.

    Makes sense, so I reworked according to your suggestion and like it quite a bit!

    Awesome-8R does this much better with 4x LRM 15s. 60 missiles in a single fwoosh.

    Also, having missiles fire in seperate salvos is not recommended, especially since AMS was buffed, and it'll only reduce your cycling time.

    While the 8R is definitely the best pure LRM platform, I feel the 85-90 tonners with LRM30-45 offer a much better overall platform. My STK-3H with 2xALRM20 3xML 2xSSRM2 is a beast, and I'm looking at a 733P build with 3xLL and 2xALRM15.

    OP, your build leaves a massive deadzone. Under 180m you have no damage from LRMs, and under 90m you have reduced damage from PPCs. If a light can get up close, you're not going to do much but generate heat with PPCs. Replace those PPCs with large lasers and you have a lot more umph up close and 4 tons to play with. My recommendation would be to get BAP (prevents a single ECM light from getting right on top of you and making it impossible to lock on to targets at range) and maybe a 275 engine with more DHS.
