This is my first posting, so Buyer Beware. I threw this together in hast leveraging the XL300 from the champion Jenner I picked up. I understand that ballistics are the current hotness but I really like to try find a variety of weapon builds to keep things fresh. I'm currently avoiding SRM's until the are debugged and I'm not savvy with LRM's hence I didn't bother with any missiles on this variant. To my very much surprise I'm greatly enjoying this build. The way it plays is like a Hunchback. You need to stay out of sight until you are in your engagement range, which starts around 400M with the x2 Large Pulse. You want to peak-a-boo this way only using the large pulses until brawling begins @ 200M. Even then, due to the clan-like-10-hotness of this build you probably should do your best to blast and retreat to cover while you cool. Else you spend a good deal of time shut down or being really patient while getting shot. I don't have the elites, so I'm still lacking the extra Cool Running boost. I also think this build probably requires you to be skilled up on the Cool Boost pilot tree and dedicating one module slot to that consumable (but I've also not done that yet.) I'm not really happy to be wasting .3 tons of load-out but I can't figure a better way to configure it. Suggestions would be appreciated. *reposting to correct forum, sorry for the failure*
I've got a version of this that runs much cooler. It trades alpha for a higher dps. Basically I drop one LPL and one MPL, add three more double heat sinks, a larger engine, and a BAP. BAP is only because there is extra space and weight left over, but it dows give you targeting information faster to focus on weak points. If you start running hot you can either chain fire the MPL's or fire only the LPL to cool down.
