Hey folks, mechspecs hasn't had any conversation on this mech in a long while, and I haven't really seen people using it in game.
Any thoughts on favorite builds? In some senses there's only so many you can do effectively, but I'm wondering if I'm missing out on some golden ideas.
Input appreciated.

Personally, I'm very fond of my ON1-VA Quarterback build- it pretends to be an LRM boat until a light comes in close, then wards them off itself via speed, agility, and LB10-X. Works very well with a cohesive team, because then the light that came to shut you down has to deal with your team's anti-lights AND the VA.
Most people, though, swear by the SRM rack arm setup, which I could never quite make work right in the thing.
Frankly, most people don't use Orions very much, as the thing it most notably does is be a 'pocket Atlas', and that type of build even on an Atlas isn't very much in tune with the current metagame for even noncompetitive players.
I'd recommend trying a few things with SRM-4s and a standard engine, or 2-Streaks and an XL (light hunter!) or something like that.
