    So I was playing around with AWS builds and came up with this. In short, it is meant to be useable at just about all ranges. The double LRM 15s do work with a decent ammo store, and the LLas as the distances get small. And when the fighting gets closer, the 2 Mediums and MedPulse can do decent work. All back up by a fairly high amount of armor with an AMS.

    Thoughts?

    I think is CLEARLY under-supplied of LRMs. I run a 900missiles with 25 tubes and i deplete them often at around 3/4 of the battle.

    I prefer this other choice. Stripped a bit of armor from here and there, 3 heatsinks, and added 2 more tons of LRMs and a BAP:

    Mind as well go XL and do this. As a missile boat it would not matter, and this one have good self defense.

    I thought that the idea back the spec was to be able to stand a chance in all ranges, not doing another Awesome LRM-boat (said that way is stupidly funny :D ).

    Right now it have enough firepower to be stipping off armor and pieces from any enemy trying to close the distance with it :cool: But only one of the weapon systems is ammo dependant, so may aswell try to raise that ammo to the max, just in case the "trade" of the day is ·LRM-Duel· ;)
