Second post! This is a modified build of my original 3L build which was a little faster but had only a single ERLLas. Again' its a bit slow but still good enough and great for supporting the team and assassinating targets from secondary lines. I used this to rack up most of my points in the current lance challenge. It is pretty adaptable to go sniping or supporting along with doing both at once. However avoid brawling at all costs and enemy lights going after you will likely kill you unless they are horrible or you got your team to help you. Narc ammo tends to run out fast if you don't aim it too well (or the game decides to just have them not stick) but still useful to have to disable enemy ecm or pick out something like a lone Dire Wolf or Stalker.
Hey again! You do like to go low on armor on this and the other Raven, i'd rather ditch a DHS and armor up but that's me. If this works for you, then kudos to you sir. It's a perilous, right on the edge, build and not for everyone! Slow, underarmored but heavy hitting with LLAS and LRM scout abilities. I'd rather specialize then go two routes though, IMHO.
I would just upgrade the engine itself to get better heat performance, drop 1 ERLLas and switch it with a MPLas, that has a quite similar range profile to the NARC one, add more armour and more NARC ammo, cause, with 3 tons worth of base weight, 1 ton of ammo is too low for me.
I usually pilot Stalkers (My Stalker builds are also slower than usual) so to me I found 100kph already fast enough (my Cicada actually is too fast for me after they added the quirks for torso twist my aim has been thrown off on that so it's a garage queen now) This build is very dependent on teammates to take the heat and do most of the damage while I pick off the stragglers or narc targets. If the team is not really good then usually I end up dying. My old build was more specialized for supporting while having more narc ammo and being quicker. I personally prefer to have one (damaging) weapon type on my Ravens and fast mechs in general (except 4X) but what you put together does sound very good to the playstyle for someone else. I did take the upgrading engine part and put out a slightly better version (according to smurfy at least) of my build. I used to run with an extra half ton of narc ammo on my original build (not posted here) but I decided to trade speed for that ammo and armor for an extra ERLL.
