    An upgrade of the old Shadowsword model I built for the Spider.

    I dunno man... having those SRM launchers seems like a waste when you only carry 1 ton of ammo. The idea of a super fast striker mech is appealing but I could never make it work as-is.

    Also, I realize this is an old thread so it may have been dropped or completely rebuilt but how about something like this:



    3 kph less speed and a little tighter on the heat efficiency but more ammo and more punch. A compromise would be to drop one ton of ammo in favor of an extra DHS.

    Your cooling efficiency is an equally big problem though, Napes. Especially since Ghost heat has to be accounted for.

    TBH I'd just drop the MPL from this build for regular ML



    Then again, you can get an SRM18+A+3ML at the same speed with jumpjets and more ammo on a shadowhawk or griffin :x

    Hey SubjectSeven, I totally agree that the build would benefit from regular mediums but they were in the original build and I didn't want to detract from it too much.

    Also, right after writing the message I reloaded the KTO-19 builds page and saw that Chtulu Jr. had actually posted an updated build : http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=2770.0

    The updated build is actually something that I could see myself having fun with and remedies the issues from the build posted in this thread.
