1041 damage in Oxide this morning, this is my highest light score

anyone else beat this?

[Hammerhai]

Congratulations. Eh and no, I run SRM's and do about 250-350 so very very well done. What was your loadout and how did you manage to lockon without being focused? BAP is a must, of course, and Artemis unless I guess wrong.

is the build i run

[Fiona Marshe]

Oxide Streak Boat; yep huge damage output.

One of my corp run one and AVERAGES 880 damage per match. Doesn't score huge numbers of kills, but you can't ignore him either. The lack of pinpoint makes solo runs fatal in a long duel.

Oxide SRM boat.

10 kills with a weapon system that doesn't even work right.

Eglar, I don't know whether to be inspired or depressed.

[Wraith 1]

210 ping too. Dang.

I'm running an XL300 with 3xSRM4 + 1xSRM2 at the moment, don't think I've even gotten it above 600 yet. I might drop the engine a bit once I get speed tweak and 2x basics, but the acceleration decrease really gets me.

[Prawfutt]

Nice work Eglar. whats your build?

Thanks, I was using a striker oxide build the rough weapons damage was capped at like 700 i believe in addition I've had 4 kills and alot of component destructions with both arty and airstrikes.

I actually do believe that the streak oxide is a better build, generally speaking and was complaining about srms vs streaks a while ago.

[Goose Igaly]

Nice performances all around, though I am further impressed by the bravery of those running less than a 300 engine. My best match hit 980 in my oxide with 4 tons of ammo. Never carry AMS on it as you can pretty much outrun LRMs. Anti-light streak boats, on the other hand, they get me every time. Regardless of what anyone says, an Oxide in the right hands is a dangerous beast; won't kill much, but you set your team up for success.

Ah, man, the above post on the 17th... That was just asking for it. I blame him.

[FEK315]

Yeah, I have been rocken an SRM boat with 2x SRM2s and 1x SRM6 with 600amo for each.
This thing is giving people a headache and me some serious cash and points.

I tried the Streaks for a while and they are a bore besides a long wait for nothing. Leading the target is such a blast with dumb fire missiles...literally. It's so satisfying watching people run into my missiles. Skills Bro, Skills. They are a skill weapon and the payoff is big! :-)

The hardest part of this build is knowing which direction your legs are pointing. A few times I got caught up on rocks but damn this is a fun mech!!

Szegedin: Love the banner bro!

Just got 683 tonight myself. Still in the little leagues, but I ran out of ammo, or I might have pulled off more. 3xSRM4s, 1xSRM2, can't remember how much ammo, but not enough. Might drop down to the 280 and squeeze some extra rounds in. SRMs are very viable now, as long as you can aim. A 238 ping, as well.

[William Slayer]

Love my Oxide, but Dang guys, wow. Never posted #'s like that before. How do you get folks to not notice you? I love this mech too, just always seem to get zapped before I run out of ammo.
