i see the reason for the lrm5. most folks can't understand a mixed build.

It's actually so that I can support my teammates, either if I am on my way to them in a protect mission, or if I am nearby on a gathering mission.

Unfortunately, a single LRM5 does so little damage as to be safely ignorable, and you are gimping your ability to actually fight when you do get into range by only having a single SRM6.

But youll ignore me, so carry on. none of my business.

I was actually planning on changing it by dropping the LRM5 for an additional SRM6 and replacing the two machine guns for an AC2, if that's even possible.

It doesnt have the tonnage to do that, not even close 2xSRM6 is 3 tons, with 1 ton of ammo thats 4, and the Mist Lynx only has about 6.5 tons total. A UAC2 is 5 tons without ammo.

Ah well. Perhaps I'll pick up the Arms from the C variant and make my Lynx into an ERPPC sniper. I've heard mention of the build before and am eager to try it out.

Stumbled across my old Zeus SHS build today. That was pretty dumb. 3 LPL, and STD 250, and all the heatsinks and armor I could cram into it.

Spotted on Polar LRMLands today:

ARC-5W

Fastest archer this side of Strana Mechty. Still doesn't go faster than 88 mph.

[B0oN]

JR7-IIC "ShortBus"

ERPPC, 2SPL,JJ

Just because it has that "closed beta" flavour

You sure TheB33f wasn't piloting that thing?

Spotted on Alpine. Armor distribution not known; I only got a glimpse of him before he went supernova.

Once saw a Mauler (don't remember variant) with a single LRM-15.

Nothing else.

Once saw a Jagermech with one AC 5 and nothing else. That being said, I strongly suspect builds like that are the result of somebody accidentally launching with a technically legal mech (it has a weapon) but missing most of the mech's proper loadout.

On the flipside, saw a Stalker recently with 5 huge LRM launchers, and nothing else... and an XL engine. Yeah, we all know how that ended.

Spotted underneath HPG Manifold. A close range direstar...? Hell, even firing 2 UAC20s in ultra mode gets you pretty close to redlining your heat. I can't imagine quadding them...

Played with (on my team sadly) a Kodiak3 with a single LBX20 and two UAC5s.
Wow..

[zeta44]

i once saw an atlas loaded with large lasers, he tried to snipe with it before dying to a single raven

[Aerei]

I think the worst build I've seen to date was an Adder with two Small Pulse Lasers, and two LRM20s.

That, or the Oxide with two LRM5s and a Narc, moving at about 101 kph.

Fairly sure that's a stock build... still though
