Gauss + 2 ERPPCs (RA, LT)
18DHS
XL350
104 kph with MASC

Or will low hardpoints be an issue?

Nope, you can't snipe with these low hardpoints. Orion IIC are best at brawling, not sniping.

Doesn't worth it for dat loadout.

I bet they make the mobility slower just because of the masc. I wouldn't buy anything until you see the stats. There is no reason to preorder anyway.

Better off with a right-sided existing variant. 2 gauss + ERPPC is pretty fun on the C too.

actually might just be better getting the original IIC...After the patch they are incredibly mobile now. I no longer regret preordering one and will be driving that beast much more often.

No, just buy a normal one and give it armor quirks.

2-3 HLLs (replace 3rd with HML or whatnot)
Big AC of choice


All I can think of, unless the Laser balances turns cLPLs into Pulse Lasers, and not long range Heavy Lasers

Big engine, MASC (really curious about whether this will be removable or fixed equipment), big AC, ATM, heavy lasers. I'm probably gonna try it out, but if you don't like Executioners it might not be your speed either.

IMO, Onion-IIC Hero is the most mediocre of the IIC heroes.
