This is my current preferred, non LRM-boat non PPC, sniper It has decent speed, enough frontal armor to take a few hits and has a back up of two lasers.
It is a bit poorly optomized, and your post does not include the loadout in the subject line. why even run FF, when E-S is much more superior?
woops, sorry on the title. re-optimized (engine the same since I don't have the cash for the larger one yet)
You have done a few mod's, but I feel like this is still too...much glass... If you take out 1 ton of gauss, and turn that to armor, I'd say it is perfect. as stands, 4-5 stars.
fixed again have used the un-optimized version for about 17 battles and works great so far...If you stay at mid to long range and use the gauss to core the assault mechs, earns a but load of cash on the salvage.
