I tend to think that Jack has the best Nova build involving an AC of any variety; I've been playing around and really, there's not much else you can do with it given the weight constraints. Personally I don't like UAC10's much (I prefer an LB10-X) but it's still the best build. As much as I'd like to post an AC5 build that works, they're just so heavy.

Ty for the complement all I ever wanted to do in a MechWarrior game is build something relevant in my Mechlab; I secretly train with the scientist caste when the Khan isn't looking . What is it about UAC/10s you dislike? is it the jam chance or is it the shell count? The NVA-B right arm comes with jam-chance quriks if that matters to ya.

NP I like the build.

I just feel like UAC10s occupy this weird space between DPS and front-loaded damage that I could never really get used to; at best it's a weight-saving mechanic for me in that it's lighter than an AC20 or 2 AC5's. LB10-Xs get to do something I can get behind in that they fire enough projectiles to be critting at a decent range such that I don't feel that I need to go with a higher or lower caliber gun.

how is 5t or maybe 6 if you strip quite some armor "a lot" ammo? thats way too less. and again the issuewith the fixed DHS taking 4t of podspace in a build that doesn't needs them.
