    GOLDEN BOY

    This is a config that is full LRM boat, with a 30 missile volley for ams carriers, and a beautiful steady stream of missiles for cockpit shake.

    Some tips to really enhance the experience of this mech is try to obtain Advanced Target Decay asap if you are serious about LRM boating, be sure to use the '/' key to open and close the CT missile bays to prevent a half second delay on missiles (and/or rebind the key entirely to somewhere closer), use something to hold down tag if you aren't good about keeping track of a lot things at once (I use pennies and dimes on button '6' and lay something heavy across onto the pennies without touching any of the other keys), and get comfortable with using the Left 'Ctrl' button to move the arms independent of the torso. What this does is allows you to fire LRM's while disengaging the opponent. This build feels very competitive and has a really nice feel to it.

    YOU HAVE DOUBLE POSTED! PLEASE DELETE YOUR OTHER POST! :D

    oH, WELCOME TO MECHSPECS.

    Your two builds are quite different enough and they should deserve different posts. By that I mean, DELETE your first build since there is already an existing one posted, with tifferent engine as default.

    Your second build, it does seem interesting enough and I would definitely like to try it out.
    My version of the 2nd build, slower, but better for missile spam.

    This. I thought of the GB just today after having posted very similar builds like these on the KTO18 and KTO19 forums.

    I would probably run it a bit slower as well though, and equip more ammo/DHS.



    or a nice middle-of-the-road variant:
