    I shaved off some of the rear armor for strengthening the front. Its main role is to guard your boats or assaults from those pesky lights. It has BAP for targeting lights with ECM and an AMS to support your assault or boat from defending against missiles. I had this build for a long time and I sometimes use it to finish off critically damaged mechs. Also, killed many lights with it. Remember to chain those SRMs for more damage.

    Hey, thanks for this build!

    I really like the concept of the not too slow guardian-mech in an LRM-lance. I modified it ab bit:

    - reduced armour on head -2
    - reduced armour on shield-arm -10
    - reduced armour on legs each -2
    - moved armour to the rear on each torso 2
    - moved armour to the rear ct 4
    - added FF

    ...and snapped a Std270-engine in it, insted of a 260 and added another DHS.

    The MPLs are imho not to underestimate, when you 2x2 em on attacking lights. Still a bit hot maybe.

    Edit: First post, hello everybody! :D

    Welcome you two.

    I added FF rmor and strip 1/2 ton of armor to make the largest engine fit:



    They're hot mostly because they're too heavy compared to standard lasers (MPL = ML+DHS), that's the main reason why I don't like them. But they're powerful.
