Who's gonna make one ?

BLR-1G: 1 PPC RA, 3 PPC RT, 3 PPC LT, Gauss LA

85 pt alpha strike ftw. Best turret evar.

[Roland]

Is it even possible to put 64 tons of weapons onto it?

[Lootee]

With 21 tons to spare should be able to fit:

1 ton gauss ammo
8.5 tons internal structure
0 armor
0 additional HS over 10

Leaving 11.5 tons for a tiny engine, gyro, cockpit. I think it's doable and you might even have a little left for armor.

I await our new 7 PPC Overlords.

[blinkin]

fire, shutdown, restart. i kinda want to try it. although with the new heat damage from pushing your mech too far off the scale, that i have been hearing about, i can't wait to watch a few blow themselves up.

[Homeless Bill]

If pinpoint damage isn't fixed by then, I'll be long, long gone.

Hard-point restrictions would fix this sort of thing.

It would also help fix the Awesome. If you gave all other mechs a max of 2 large energy hard-points, and the Awesome 3, it would be the only mech able to field 3x PPCs.

the awesome needs fixing? as far as i can tell it is one of the most hated chassis in the game.

[Roland]

I think he means "fix" the awesome by making it a useful chassis.

With a 300XL you could have a whole 40pts of armor!

[Monky]

Meh, ditch the Gauss rifle and just use 7 PPC's. 16 (minimum) tons and 8 crits freed up.

Unfortunately XL won't fit, because 3 PPCs in each side torso only leaves 2 slots empty. Maybe endosteel could fit ? What's the lightest engine that can fit in a Stalker ? It'd be the same for the Battlemaster.

Edit: no wait duh. 3 PPCs is only 9 crit slots. Yeah, you're right XL engine would fit.

Good luck with that build. You'll get one-shotted by the first mech to spot you, so make that 7x PPC alpha shot count...it'll be your last one for the match.

It'll destroy anything 50 tons or smaller in 1 salvo and remove 85% of an Atlas' CT armor. It'd be worth a try, even just for lulz.

There is no greater reason for doing something on the internet:

For the lulz

[General Taskeen]

Hahaha, this is brilliant.

Didn't someone on this forum have a sig of an Awesome with 6 or 8 PPC's? That always made me chuckle.

[Chavette]

I LOVE YOU

Definitely. I love a good cheese build...but this one falls more in the Casu Marzu category of cheese.

Lets see according to new heat penalties for firing lots of weapons at the same time:

Think it was
4 PPC +5 heat
5 PPC +10 heat
6 PPC +20 heat
7PPC +40 heat???

So thats 96 heat total +1 for the gauss and um you have 10 DHS lets say so if all internal engine thats a threshold of 50.
Um you hit 194% of max heat on a low heat map and um stay shutdown till you die of self inflicted heat damage.

Not saying the recent multi-weapon heat change fixed much, but it does seem it would stop this hehe.

good luck bro, I've been saying this for 8 months and this keep falling on deaf ears (or blind eyes in this context)

I made this thread just to show how all fixes except HP restrictions will make the Awesome still as useless as it currently is.
