    First build-post in this forum, I was just tinkering with the Locust Chassis which are painfully hard to build because of their low tonnage. XL190, IMO, is a definite must for the Locust chassis as it's needed to attain the highest speed in this game. It's also one of the strong attributes of this chassis.

    LCT-3M, IMO, would likely be the best variant since you can afford more weapon loadout and have an extra AMS giving you more versatile builds. (Energy is usually light... compare the LCT-1V with the LCT-3M)

    Needless to say, MLas are obviously the best weapon in this game for their usage and properties. So, why not just cram all of that into this variant. :p

    Hope this build helps!

    Done this. Almost a jenner, no JJ, much less armor, less Las, but DARN THIS IS FAST!!!
    Totally worth it.
    Still like the S type a bit more though... more fun.

    I found this mech WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too hot considering you don't know if you are gonna end up on Mordor or Caustic. Also why put this build on a mech that is designed to function as an AMS support vehicle? Why try and be a Jenner when there already IS a Jenner?

    It's an average build leaning towards good but in my eyes its a 3/5.

    Because Jenners do not run at 170+ mph!
    I am mixing SPLas with MLas and testing, see if I find a good balance point.

    Speed and weaponry :p

    Got to go fast and perform skirmishes. :p

    I'm inexperienced in developing builds so I honestly don't know if this build is even good. I just, try to stuff as much stuff in like my Jenner. :blush:

    This is by far my favorite. I ran 4 Mediums and a Tag helping out my LRM buddies, but when I realized I could go 5x Medium I was overjoyed. I was told I would overheat in one alpha, but the first map was Mordor and I did just fine.

    When you get a heat level warning, that's when you use your evasion and speed to bug out and cool off. Takes discipline to not go for the kill, but worth it.

    *For the record, this was done without artillery or air strikes.

    Tried that, but waaay to hot.
    I took out 2 M-Laser, and putted in 2 more DHS, so you still can alpha out 15 damage but much better heat management.

    5/5,
    Mastered my 3M with this basic loadout. I changed the engine, and used dual AMS to help my team members
