I could use some advice on what modules to load into my Spider (ER PPC + ECM + 2xSLas varient).

I'd like to have:
- Capture Accelerator *
- Seismic Sensor **
- 360 Target Retention ***
- Target Decay ****

Unfortunately I've only got three slots. Any suggestions on what to cut?


*Because capping nodes takes too damn long.
** Because coming around a corner to discover a lance of assault mechs sucks.
*** To help the LRM boys as I'm running away with a Jenner up my tailpipe.
**** To help the LRM boys as I briefly run behind cover.

Drop the 360 Retention and you will not notice it when using adv. target decay. It will help in the LRM support role better as well.

Seismic Sensor is really all you need, Target Decay is handy as is the Capture Accelerator but Seismic helps all your immediate 'Oh crap I am going to die' kind of problems.

LRM Command Master Pilot checking in!
360 buh bye o/

If you need to be maneuvering so strongly that you can't hold your Lock no problem!

Think about it... the lock will only hold for 200m distance, 5 seconds at your full speed, assuming the target is standing still and you started at zero range. Outside of 200m distance it does nothing.

Advanced Seismic Sensors - A must have, in particular for light pilots. Absolutely top tier.
Capture Accelerator - Any Spider pilot should have one! Really anyone at all should have one! This is a must for lights.

Now the 3rd is up to you, but I'd highly recommend UAV if you want to play with organized teams (It costs cbills to use despite being massively useful). I'd normally recommend Coolant 9 by 9, but the Spider isn't likely to need it. Target Decay is not very worthwhile in your case, nor are the others like 360 target retention (your Adv. Seismic lets you kind of fake it already.)
