Preferably around a STD 350. No LRMs please.

I have had this mech for some time now and have not found a pleasing build. Seems most people use an XL on this mech and I get why, but I am strictly lookinf for STD engine builds.

This is my current build.

Well, if you are after a brawler build with your standard engine 350, you'll have plenty of speed. I assume brawler because you specified no LRMs. Having such a large standard engine kills much of your tonnage for weaponry, so a decent looking armament I plugged into smurfy had 2 SRM4s in the CT, 1 SRM6 in the arm, 3 medium lasers, 1 ER PPC for long range as you close in (helps make people back down from ridge lines as snipers hate counterfire). You would have 3 tons of ammo for the SRMs, I'd ditch the AMS altogether. With 16 double heatsinks, you'd be fine so long as you don't alpha with the ER PPC, and you would even have the tonnage for a few more points of leg armor (with Ferro Fib).

With 14 SRMs and 3 medium lasers, you have a pretty decent punch for brawling, and a great speed of 70.9 to 78 kph with your 350 std. You won't need the Beagle AP since you won't have streaks, you'll have enough lasers you should be able to scare off a light who is harrassing you. You have armor, you can put the tonnage for your AMS to better use. As with any brawler, I'd suggest the seismic sensor module, it is plain wonderful. Most importantly, see if the build is FUN for you. If it isn't throw that spec away and try a different take on it.

When I had it I went 3x ERPPC and an LRM20. It was so cool watching 10 streams of 2 missiles boost of from its SSRM tube lol. But 3x SSRMs and ERPPCs make a good sniper build. as well as having decent fire power at mid range. At close your dead. Probably did not help much.

I would rather go with something like this - Awesome 9M Pulse Brawler if I'm going to use a 350 or Awesome 9M Large Laser x3

The first one has 5 medium pulse lasers and 1 large laser (or ER Large if you prefer) and the second one has 3 Large Lasers. Both of them have 22 Double Heatsinks and sheared off armor on the left arm and a bit from each leg. You can reduce the 3 DHS from the second build and plug in 3 medium lasers - Awesome 9M 3 large 3 medium.

SRMs really aren't worth the space right now. You can just go with 1 ER PPC and 5 medium lasers and an SRM2 (left arm armor boosted up a bit but still not max) - Awesom 9M ER PPC 5 ML SRM2 (can change to Streak by removing 16 armor from the LA).

Well even if you don't like any of those I hope they help you figure out what to build.
