It should be cooler and have a longer laser range thanks to the quirks.

Figured I would give it a thread of it's own. This build really puts out damage, thanks Frater Interitem for the idea!!

Original Post:
I like the build idea, especially since it can be copied to a deadly c-bill version in the 5SS

STD version

XL version w/BAP

While I am at it, the weaker version of this build can be used on the 9S for leveling if you don't like ERPPC's

The shoulder mounted energy hard points on this mech are great for sniping since they are at eye (cockpit level) and are right next to each other resulting in perfect pinpoint damage. The MLs can amplify damage a couple times before heat becomes a problem or give you something for close range.]]> 2 TDR-5SS "Max Power v2" (6xMPL, 1xSRM4+A, AMS, TC1, LE300) + alt (MRM) Mon, 30 Oct 2017 09:54:44 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tdr-5ss-max-power-v2-6xmpl-1xsrm4-a-ams-tc1-le300-alt-mrm.13191/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tdr-5ss-max-power-v2-6xmpl-1xsrm4-a-ams-tc1-le300-alt-mrm.13191/ invalid@example.com (CarloArmato) CarloArmato

Classic Brawler with SRM4, which does pair pretty well with med pulses and maxed out arms for and effective shielding.

TC1 for increased beam range and crit chances and AMS for increased survivability and protection for both you and your team mates.

ALT: MRM version for increased alfa, slightly better HeatPS and range at the cost of DPS and alfa strike syncronisation

It is cooler, it is ghost-heat-free and it is faster...

but

it has lower firepower and less pinpoint damage, it doesn't have an AMS and some of its armor has been stripped.

Alt to be tested: removed a DHS, stripped armor from unused arm, added an AMS and a TC1

After a quick look at the quirks and checking how it was fitted the last time, I've decided to go for the "All you can fit"

And it does actually get a tons of quirks... And you are using all of them.

Energy Cooldown− 10 %
Energy Heat− 5 %
Energy Range+ 10 %
Medium Pulse Laser Range+ 5 %
Missile Cooldown− 15 %
Base Structure (LT)+ 10
Base Structure (RT)+ 10

With the LE, you can actually fit anything it was intended to use, plus you have AMS and a fully armored left arm to shield with. If used properly and with the right skills, it should withstand some punishment.

It should be very hot if you keep on firing every MPL all at once (so I...

This built is made for IS-CW.
My answer to the stormcrow- and the mad cat-meta(1gauss/4ermedlaser)!
They shoot one time, i do twice... it does nearby double dmg at every duell and runs
much cooler than the clan mechs. The only problem of this built is it´s lesser range.]]> TDR-5SS AlphaStrike (4 x ERLLas, 2 x MLas, AMS, STD260) Thu, 16 Jul 2015 12:38:10 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tdr-5ss-alphastrike-4-x-erllas-2-x-mlas-ams-std260.9724/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tdr-5ss-alphastrike-4-x-erllas-2-x-mlas-ams-std260.9724/ invalid@example.com (EagleBlitz) EagleBlitz .

With AMS:

With 1 more DHS:

Weapon Group:
1. 2 x ERLLas
2. 2 x ERLLas
3. 2(3)x MLas
Just make sure that the ERLLas should be grouped by their position, e.g ERLLas at LT/RT, this will make your aiming much easier.

Tips:
1. This build needs very good FIRE DISCIPLINE. Don't fire both sets of ERLLas together unless you want to shut down in front of your enemy, or override till blowing yourself up (This might be the last thing you can do if you are within melee range though)
2. It is...
