I use a similar build - but when I'm chasing down lights - I want to go as fast as possible. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...cc088e1a2668467

Most don't feel the need to max their speed though. You could save 1.5 tons by dropping to a 350.

The main problem with yours is the lack of BAP. To use streaks you have to pay the BAP tax - otherwise those streaks are useless against the first light with ECM.

Also - you have an unnecessary amount of heatsinks. Anything over 30% is playable - 36% is very solid - 46% is almost silly. And if you ever do start having heat issues - just stop firing the ERPPC.

Is this a good compromise using my Victor's engine?

That is how fast you will move after getting speed tweak in the pilot tree.

Thanks folks.

More or less.

Max your leg armor. Move your ammo out of your legs. Replace the ER Large with an ER PPC (Downgrade the engine if you have to.)

Then you're all set.

Any reason at all to not pug with this, since I can finally afford it along with a basic color or two? Any tweaks I'm missing?

If you slap on ferro, you can move the heatsinks into the engine to make space; or drop them (as it's not a terribly hot build) in favor of a much larger engine:

CTF-3D MedLas+AC20 Improved Ferro

I dropped the AMS in this version and moved the ammo out of the legs (which now have much more armor) and into a case'd torso, as well.

PS: Consider dropping the medlas and one of the arms in favor of 2 PPCs sometime, too. Or drop the arms entirely and run two Large Lasers in the torso. Both options might be more effective.
