After the quirks pass I rebuilt my old Centurion around the Large Pulse Laser over the ER Large Laser with a near-identical build. I tried XL275 but ran out of space, and I'm still a sucker for STD in a Centurion. (My Wang runs 300XL though). The heat is excellent if you only fire two of the 3 groups together. Arm/Chest Energy or Chest Energy/SRMs etc. It's fast, it's tough, it's an excellent flanker and well-rounded mech. I had to dig this up after looking over my archived games and seeing the CN9-AL was still 1.98 KDR with over 250 games played.
