I came up with this monster 3M yesterday and put the engine in today, still finishing up the elite bracket but it's already pretty deadly without modules or the bonus bit of heat management.
Sits at 1.19 heat rating which would be far more manageable in CW than in the pug drops I've been taking it, firing the 2 LL then 6 MPL back and forth gets you 3 full cycles + 1 set of LL before a shut down if you don't pause if my memory serves me correctly. I'm sure far more if you 3 group it or do chain fire.
54 damage laser vomit rounds that are predominantly pulse - get that on anything's ct or side torsos and you are going to dictate where they move, with the speed to make sure they go there or put them down. I've had a lot of luck imposing my will on other slower assaults with it so far, also those silly lights that like to jump and dangle their legs right in front of your sights.
Higher mounted MPL than the 5ss with a little less range but slightly more speed, and if you have 3 triggers you can separate out those MPL to L/R for less heat loss while poking and a little more management. I keep em linked because it simply shreds face, but its an option if you have a better mouse than I do.
People will call out the XL I'm sure, but I've found that you are either going to get ct or headshot most of the time against good pilots long before your side torso's are even a thought, so mobility speed wins out for me with this mech.
Less armor than the 4N you'd probably normally use, same heat efficiency and its a mad brawler that in a pack will give the 5ss a run for its money. Before this conversion I was running it with a standard and 8 MPL which was pretty terrifying on its own, the LL gives it some range but could be dropped all MPL for BAP and AMS or a missile launcher with more leg armor to protect your ammo.
Anyway, super fierce and fun I bet some of you guys would really enjoy it. Have fun if you try it out!
