    This build focuses on staying just behind the frontline, providing both indirect and direct fire support with the LRMs and the Gauss, respectively. The BAP allows you to engage any target you see and the 2 MLs give you some self-defense capabilities against light mechs. The STD300 gives you the speed to reposition and the torso twist speed to brawl with any remaining damaged enemy mechs at the end of the match. My first match with the build went fairly well, though the limited LRM ammo can be a concern. (Which is why you're not a dedicated LRM-boat.)

    LRM20 sucks due to the spread pattern. No point in having LRM20+LRM10. You are better off having 3xLRM10 since you have the hardpoints. LRM homes with the locks so there is little converging issue.

    LRM ammo is barely enough and too much Gauss ammo, you can put Gauss ammo in the arm for padding since Gauss gun explode but not the ammo.
    Something like this:


    That said, if your build is focusing on long range like LRM and Gauss you are better off with XL, Though I am mostly not the advocate of LRM boat assaults with a few exceptions.

    A LRM assault... exactly the thing I'd NOT like to have in my team.
