I got a free AS7-S sometime ago and since i had always hated the Atlas hard points and hit boxes never really found a use for it. Now we have new tech he finally has a role, as a Heavy Gauss mount! Allong with 1 x MRM30 and 4 x ER-Med Lasers it has quite some mid range potential. Optimal Range ER-ML 360m MRM30 450m Hvy Gauss - has a slow fall off from 180 to 900
If you drop your engine to a 310, you can trade the 3 MRM10s for a MRM30 with much better heat efficiency
@Shock, thanks for the tip build updated - i happend to have a spare 315 in the inventory. Here is one with a more ideal 325 and Endosteel
The Heavy Guass just got buffed as of Sept 2017, making it far easier to get of those killer shots. https://mwomercs.com/news/2017/09/1891-patch-notes-14131-19sep2017#retrofits Heavy Gauss Rifle • Charge-up duration reduced to 0.75 (from 1). • Charge retention duration increased to 1 second (from 0.5 seconds). Gauss Rifle Design Notes: The primary feature of Gauss resolves around their incredibly high damage-to-heat ratio when compared to other weaponry. When it comes to the Light Gauss Rifle, its longer range, higher projectile velocity, and high damage-to-heat ratio compared to other weapons around its weight bracket remain its primary defining traits. With that said, we do feel that its overall performance could use a bit of a boost, so we are providing it with a bit more DPS, brining it closer into line with the standard Gauss Rifles. For the Heavy Gauss, we found the usability window to be too narrow for most players without Skill Tree investment, which is something we do not intend to be the case for any weapon. We have therefore increased the window during which you can hold a Heavy Gauss charge before the charge dissipates. In addition to this, we have slightly reduced the time it takes to charge the Heavy Guass down to match that of the Standard. We found the previous charge time to be overly restrictive given that the Heavy Gauss is best intended to be used up close. The previous, full second charge was simply too much of a drawback at its ideal ranges.
