STK-5M
I like to mount the tag in the stalker's arms to get the high mount. You can have minimum exposure and still get your tag on target and rain.
The LRM 10s fit nicely into the stalker's missile tube layout. Everything fires in 1 or 2 salvos. Additionally, having all of the same missile types mean you can more efficiently use modules. In this case, I would use the LRM 10 cooldown module and the medium laser range module.
Because they are LRM 10s, I've dropped the artemis. From testing I've seen posted on the forums, artemis makes the biggest difference in spread on LRM 15 and 20.
300 engine gets you near top speed on this chassis.
16 heatsinks will come in handy when you have targets in the open and want to maintain constant LRM fire.
You are giving up long range lasers with this build. This layout focuses on providing indirect fire support. The med lasers are there for personal protection when the enemy closes. The reason I would go this way is because if you try to squeeze large lasers in and use them while firing missiles, you will lose a great deal of heat efficiency and overall DPS will drop. The only way you can get large lasers in and maintain enough heatsinks is to use an XL engine. This is generally not recommended for stalkers because their hitboxes provide great damage spread at the expense of the side torsos, making them ideal for standard engines.
Your current build will work if you're short on cbills. As an earlier poster pointed out, you're slow. At your current speed, you'll really need to be aware of positioning to keep from being left behind by your teammates.
You will have many opinions on the forums. Try a few layouts to see what works. Smurfy is your friend.
Good Luck! The stalker is a great chassis.
