Man, I've got to stop using XLs as a crutch to cram more stuff into my mechs. Your recent 3D builds, Soy, have made me rethink my design strategies....
This build looked interesting in light of the recent UAC5 buff, but the OP build seemed a bit slow so I thought I'd try and tweak it a bit. I...
I've never played a Highlander, but I ran into what I think was this build or a close variation of it the other day and got taken to school! [img]...
Doesn't any mech being pounded by a full lance of enemies not have much of a chance? Pretty much regardless of weapons? :D
Well, there are similar builds out there: the Nasty Cat and Soy's Quickdraw, but yours is unique in that it uses a Std engine, which is not a...
Alternate version of the Crab I build (split out of that thread to maintain standardised naming and make Michael's life easier...). [MEDIA] Good...
Been tinkering with this build today because of the UAC5 buff. Currently running it like this: [MEDIA] I dropped the symmetrical "claws" to mount...
I guess so. Variety is the spice of life after all. That said, you do have 2 missile and 2 ballistic slots on the 1N that you have quite limited...
Only the first 10 I believe, which is why the percentages in Smurfy are identical....
Erm, how is that a better cooling rate? They both have 14 DHS. Being faster with a larger engine is good though. For a better cooling rate, I'd drop...
If there's a better way to have fun in this game than running round in a 5K machine-gunning things in the back, I don't know it! I love this build!
Well, this was a good opportunity to break out the spreadsheet for some fun with numbers :D It was interesting to look at various stats (including...
The 1N was the Dragon I most struggled with, but when I finally settled on a favourite build for it, it was as a brawler (2 LPLas, 2 SRM4, 2 MG)....
Well, while we're waiting for Soy's latest build with bated breath (no sarcasm intended)... Machine guns anyone? Personally, I like them on this...
Well, against Moth. It's fine if he's on your team :D
Reasons why: A) Heat tax has not stopped the madness. B) 70 rounds of AC20 ammo is handy. [img] [img] Note that these rounds were back-to-back....
I like the idea here. I've tried something similar on my CTF-3D and it worked well. I'm with the others on dropping the small lasers though. Maybe...
Actually, a case could be made for ERLLasers these days. With AMS and/or MGs at your preference (both with 16 DHS = 33% efficiency)... [MEDIA]
Large Lasers AND machine guns. This version really keeps the lights off you, and gives you great coverage at all ranges out to about 900m: [MEDIA]...
[MEDIA] Have been giving this a whirl as a long-range support mech. Since ERLLasers have just had their heat dropped I thought I'd test them out....
[MEDIA] I like this weapon config on the C1, but I've been running it with ER Large Lasers since they've just had their heat dropped. It strikes a...
Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm pretty happy just link-firing them though, so hopefully all will be well... Edit: Oh, and as for ammo......
How are they broken? I haven't used them in a little while. I usually just fire them together anyway since I don't have the option of a macro.
Well, I didn't want to buy a new engine to try this, but I've been giving it a whirl with a 280 Std (dropped a JJ and 0.5 tons armour from the OP for...
Looks like an interesting build. Quite a range of weapons, how do you group them?
[MEDIA] This is a theoretical build I've been toying with since I don't actually own a DD at present. I love my DRG-5N with 3 x AC2s, so was looking...
I landed on this setup as well for the 7K, but with a few slight changes: [MEDIA] Basically: faster, more AC2 ammo, less SSRM ammo, FF armour, +1...
Looks good Vergere. Slight loss of speed, but with the recent bump to PPC heat the extra heat sink would certainly be welcome.
I pretty much just fire them all together, but I like the idea of these "poor man's macros" that you guys suggest!
A lot of wisdom in that post Soy, thanks for sharing. Also, I see you made NGNG TV: MWO Dear Diary. Maybe not the best round for you (guys?), but...
