BLR-1S

Want to make use of the upcoming quirk changes......

Only 30 tubes but with the cooldown module and quirks you can still pound the missles out.

The streaks are the thing I question the most. Never had much luck scaring away lights with them but the hard points are there to be used.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Not bad, personally I would drop to an engine that gives similar speed to most assaults, i.e. 60-65 kph with speed tweak, your biggest threats are marauding lights and mediums, and 73 kph is still too slow to run from them, just need to be fast enough to stay with your fatties. Drop one ml for a tag, and drop the streaks for 2 lrm 5's or 2 srm 4/6, 2 streak 2's are virtually useless imo, you should have enough weight left to add more lrm ammo, 7 tons is a bit light on for a prolonged engagement. Your cooling efficiency is pretty good, could probably drop 1-2 dhs for more ammo as well.

Mine is LRM 40, 2 ER LLaser, tag, XL 280, can't remember how much lrm ammo off the top of my head, 9 or 10 tons, its pretty slow, but I tend to launch from just behind the front lines where I usually have plenty of friends nearby.

Good choice for an LRM boat though, BLR 1S is one of the best chassis for that, if you get tired of lrm's, its also bloody dangerous with 4 ER LLaser and a big standard engine.

Good Hunting
