Well optimized build

 

The question is... is this mech just flat-out better than the Jenner-F with the latest quirk pass. Here are the current state of both mech's quirks:

FS9-H:
Medium Laser Heat Generation -15%
Energy Weapon Heat Generation -7.5%
Energy Weapon Range10%

vs.

JR7-F
Energy Weapon Range7.5%

Looking at the OP build, this gives the following stats (elite stats in parentheses):

FS9-H:
Heat Capacity: 52.8 (66.72)
Heat Dissipation: 2.28 (2.62)
Heat Generated per alpha: 20.4
Cooling Efficiency: 43.6% (50.1%)

JR7-F
Heat Capacity: 55.6 (66.72)
Heat Dissipation: 2.56 (2.944)
Heat Generated per alpha: 24
Cooling Efficiency: 41.6% (47.8%)

Hmm... it does appear that the fight favors the FS9-H in the heat war. For a 15% reduction in its heat generated you get a 5% increase in total heat capacity and a 12% increase in dissipation. On top of that, you get more jump jets and 2 machine guns. The Jenner is a touch faster, sure, but these new quirks may have dethroned the Jenner from its lofty spot.

Now, the question is, is this mech actually better than the Ember?

 

The version of the Jenner F to run has 15 DHS, all dmg goes to the CT anyway-



So, on elite it's 68.40 heat cap and 3.11 heat/s dissipation.

Pair it with high mounts, being able to peek with 3 or 6, and speed and the Jenner F still keeps the throne.

 

Wow. Really? That's what the kids are running these days? I never would have thought to strip the armor off like that. Hmmm... I guess I can try that out on my jenner and see if it works. It looks so scarey!

 

I always ran it like this it makes a very big difference, and the damage all goes to CT and legs if targeted, you won't even feel like you lost armor.

 

Thanks for the pro tip. That extra heat sink fitting in there has managed to convince me. I'll try this build out on my jenner and see how it feels.

I will now return this thread to it's regularly scheduled Firestarter discussion.

 

Works great! Longer lasers than pulse on the other variants, but MG's are so fun

 

New tech version: Light ferro and light machine gun are now a thing. It loses some speed in favor of +1 DHS.
Also MLs can be replaced with ERMLs, but this build will surely become too hot.
