Casual ASN-21 "Starscream" (2x ERSL, 4x SRM4, 4x JJ, XL300) +Alt

5/5,

1 rating

Hello everyone! This is my first build, I hope it contributes a bit to the site.



I wanted to design a variation of the classic 4x SRM4 build that makes use of those Energy hardpoints and JJ's as much as possible. This is the build I came up with in-game, and it's quite effective and fun to play. The ERSL's give some extra range and their short beam duration allows for fast hit-and-run attacks better than the stock ML. Its main drawback is that it's limited in ammo, so here's an alternate build with a smaller engine to cram more shots:



Still quite fast, but it now has 4 tons of ammo instead of 2'5. I might try this alternate build myself once I save enough credits for the engine (I already owned a XL300 when I bough the 'Mech).

 

I was just playing with the same chassis and came up with something similar, so I'll put it here. A little more oomph. Less JJ's.

 

Lighter on the armor, but more cooling and ammo

 

Straightforward build for the 21. Very agile plus jumpjets to fire from new angles. Build is mainly SRM boat and the lasers an addition. I would buff up the ammo just by lowering engine rating and dropping a jj. Decent heat level. I'd say playing continously repositioning and firing your salvo suits the assassin very well
