Mean Baby "I didn't need that side torso" (6x ERML, 4x MRM20, STD300)

4/5,

1 rating

Run the lasers left arm + head/right arm + torso or, however you like. Chain fire the MRM's for love you long time missile machine gun that will make most enemies shake their head and back up fast!

Edit: Did this from memory only to find that my build has 1 more DHS in each arm, no light Ferro, and one less ton for the mrm's.

 

Switched ER Mediums to normal Mediums. You can fire MRMs left/ right side.

Today my first 1,5 k game. 5 Solo Kills.

 

Well done!

 

I don't really get the on-paper evaluation for this build...

Heat from 4xMRM20 = 27.15
Heat from 2xMRM20 + 2xMRM20(staggered) = 24
Heat from 2xMRM40 = 24.61

Dropping to standard armor allows you to switch to 2xMRM40. Dropping 2 points of armor after that leaves you with 5 open slots and 3 tons spare.

Resulting in a grand total loss of .14 sustained Damage Per Second using Smurfy, or .6 sustained DPS using Li Song.

Your 5 second and 10 second burst damage numbers stay exactly the same, with the possible exception of the fact that the spare tonnage could be used to install a TC2, which would increase your laser crit %.

And then there's the fact that dual MRM-40 can be done just as well, if not better, on the QKD-IV4, especially since your 5 second burst on this thing is going to overheat you either way, and the QKD-IV4 only loses about 20 damage from it's 5 second burst total compared to this monstrosity. The QKD-IV4 also gets around the issue of sustained damage primarily coming from the missiles, since it lacks as many lasers, and is far more mobile as well.

Admittedly, my changes prevent you from chain firing the MRM20s and functionally incapacitating a target, so there is something to be said for that functionality... I just think it loses too much in getting there.
