    That one ballistic slot really screams AC/20, so I had to do it :D Just an interesting idea, not much I could do with one missile slot.

    I think this may be a bit more sensible.



    You want the PPAC cheese in the same kind of mount, be it arms or torso. if you combine arms and torso you'll be hugging arm lock everytime before you take a shot and I find that unpleasant + it takes a splitsecond longer to align before firing and while marginal, everything can make a difference.
    Besides that you need some more heat dissipation as this build is terra therma on legs.

    and even cooler:

    I had 3 builds picked out to try for the 3S - this was the first I tried and I'm probably going to stick with it and not even bother with the other two. Mine was a take off S7's cooler version just with moving 1 ML to CT for zombie

    I like compromise, so I kept the STD325 of the OP, but worked things around so I could still fit 17 DHS. Not bad as far as heat goes, though you obviously need to watch how often you fire those PPCs once the enemy gets close enough for you to also use the AC20 and MPLasers.

    Well Falc, with your build you have good long range and a decent short range build, that can fill that middle ground role really well. I like it very much actually and once I get my 3S I think I might try that out first instead :)

    (Btw, was lots of fun dropping against you the other night, I enjoy playing any of you mechspeccers when I see you in game, I honestly didn't think we were in the same ELO lol.)

    Glad you like the build, and hope you enjoy running it.

    And I agree: it's always fun to see fellow 'Mechspeccers in matches, especially when they're on my team --- though I have no problem hunting my friends down for fun either. It's all good! ;)
    Hope to run into you more in future matches, mate. :)

    Yes, found myself on the same side as 4 of you in BNC-3E's last night while I was in my BNC-3S. ^_^

    Forget sensible. keep 5 ML on this and destroy anything that looks at you.

    Like the concept but think that:
    1) WAAAAAAY to hot for some maps. Need more DHS, things like Subject7. This is probably the main problem.
    2) I prefer to put the PPC all in the ST, and leave the arm as a shield arm or something, easier to coordinate shots.
