This is somthign i built last night and just...damn. Somthing that fast, with that much firepower and 20 double heatsinks is just going to murder things.

I like the classic load-out for the mech, so this is just a direct upgrade of the mech without changing its loadout, But it still looks nasty, especially considering how much it will be able to fire those weapons with all those heatsinks

Yep I think it will be fun

[General Taskeen]

You went for more 'classic' load-out, so big thumbs up!

Compare-able canon variants:

BLR-6X - (425 XXL Engine, 16 DHS, 15 Tons Armor), 1 ER PPC, 1 Heavy PPC, SSRM6, 2 ER Medium Lasers
BLR-10S - (255 STD Engine, 20 DHS, 16.5 Tons Armor), 1 ER PPC, 6 ER Medium Lasers, 1 ER Small Laser, 1 SSRM4, 1 GECM, 2 B-Pods

A legit build by canon standards. I dub thee the BLR-6X Prototype.

Only change I would make is drop the MGs for more armor.

But what if MG's become good comparable to MW3/4 later on? Wishful thinking on my part, but I can dream.

I have never used a Machine Gun in nearly my 30 years supporting this genre. I won't be starting anytime soon.

[Das Wudone]

u forgot to add in endo steel which would give u a lot more options for customization

heres my take on the upgraded version without the XL: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ceb4f9c21588235

with the XL but a slightly different loadout: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a68cfe3f2b87df4

Okay that thing would scare the day lights out of me in game. Sure a T-bolt can be faster, but theres no way I'd keep up with your damage. You just made every T-bolt cry. D:

I have and they are a rightfully beastly weapons in older Mech games.

[Gaan Cathal]

What'll be amusing is the (physically possible) 7PPC+Gauss fit. It'll (quite rightly) explode itself on one alpha, but I bet you'll still see them trying to get that 1HK from the dropship spawn on River City.

Here's my take on it.

BLR-1G

Sounds like a personal problem. Machine Guns are quite good in large quantities on a very fast mech. I just wish the PIrahna was in the game because your opinion of Machine Guns would completely change if there was a max speed light mech with the DPS of an Atlas and 0 heat generation.

The point of the machine guns is to keep scratching at the enemy while your medium lasers cool off.

Also 6 torso mounted medium lasers. I murder assault mechs that think they know how to brawl with the 4 torso mounted medium lasers on my Cat. It will be insane.

I'll be able to kill most things in 2 or 3 volleys.

[Khobai]

Not a very good build IMO. Gonna have some massive heat problems with all those lasers and the PPC. And youre not really making good use of the ballistic slots either. Plus an XL engine on a brawler build tends not to be a good idea. The victor can pull it off but I dont think the battlemaster can since it has no jumpjets to mitigate getting hit in the side torso.

Personally id play it more like a Misery and go with Gauss in the arm. Or maybe dual AC/5s. Then you can do some solid damage without having to worry about heat.

Hoping the Orion will be fun too. That's a 75 ton mech (5 short of the Victor and 5 more of the Cataphract) that can skitter at 64kph. That probably will have a bit more impact than the Thunderbolt, which is at the common 65 ton line.

It seems to me that PGI is now picking mechs that can hurry along, probably because of the size of the maps they are introducing. With the Battlemaster another 64kph mech with 85 tons, we also have fan favorites Zeus (80 tons) and Banshee (95 tons) that can skimper at 65kph.

I have 20 double heatsink, that disipates a lot of heat , and I dont need to alpha on people all day either, besides, its as fast as the base dragon at over 80km/h. those 6 medium lasers will be able to fire really fast, and thats 60 points of damage there. The ERPPC is there more so i can at least tap somone at long range. And standard engines are over-rate anything. Plus i wanted to have it feel like a battlemaster.
