Well, I have sinned, and I am loving every minute of it.
With speed tweak the thing moves nearly 72 kph. Compared to the 300 Standard I was rocking in my D-DC, that feels like greased lighting. You have the speed to keep up with the pack, and I think that is what I like most about it.
When you are slow, you feel like you have no control over the game. Everything feels left to chance. Your teammates leave you behind and it's a simple roll of the dice whether or not a couple of lights find you and ruin you. By the time you reach the battle, half the time the winner has already been decided. One team is down by five and there really isn't any recovering from that. When you engage, you have to stick it out, even if it is a bad situation, because you don't have the speed to disengage.
Well, toss in a 400XL engine and all those problems go away.
The first thing to understand is that it doesn't play like an assault. You don't brawl with it. Instead, you play it like you would a Catapult K2 or a Jager. Fire off some shots, reposition. Fire off some shots, reposition. The difference is you have waaaay more armor and a wider variety of weapons and tools to work with.
Here's my current build:
