Scouting SCR-B "Repulsed" (4xMPL, 1xSPL, 6xuPL) + ALTS

Thread in 'Stormcrow Omni Builds' started by Remover of Obstacles, Nov 26, 2018.

  1. This build tries to maximize low heat close quarters pulse lasers. To use up tonnage a few Medium Pulse Lasers are used. This helps provide some damage on targets out of range of the micro pulse lasers without throwing away heat and therefore damage on ER lasers. If you must, you can trade two micro pulse for two ERSL without committing ghost heat crimes.


    Armor quirked STs and 21 heat sinks.
    Firing 6x uPL and 1xSPL together will not over heat you, so you can brawl away with them and use MPL as heat or opportunities allow. If you want the lower arm actuator, you can trade the left arm heat sink for a TC1 or Active Probe.



    More little wubs with sensors. Still very cool without 4xMPL.



    The I want it all build. I can't go without a lower arm actuator, but I also want to keep 19 heat sinks, strong side ST quirked and effectively 9 micro pulse lasers (7x uPL and 1x SPL).

    Since the range advantage of the MPL will be mostly useful for peeking situations, maybe put them all in the left arm? Lowers exposure time, and easy left click = range, right click = brawl configuration of weapon groups. If you're taking enough damage to lose your MPL arm, it's probably already looking to become a brawl anyway. The build with 3SRM6 for extra alpha is superior imho.

    Still, trying to use the MPL gives some interesting builds that are more subtle than 'run in an shoot legs'. I tried to mount 2 SPL max because of heat penalties with MPL.

    My variations


     
  3. I like having 2x MPL on each arm. Easy to loose one side, so I still have something to poke with at range or poking UAVs.

    No strikes, could have finished stronger, but my mech was wrecked.
