Careful putting that gauss in ST. Sadly the biggest draw back of the Shawk is their best feature. That ST gets hit a lot!

Here is how I run my GD
GRAY DEATH

I'm a big Shadowhawk fan too!

I ran the Gray Death with a gauss rifle for a while, but it never performed consistently. Some games were awesome, some the gauss was critted out immediately. I switched to the AC20, 4 ml build and its a lot of fun! With the new tech I may just tweek it. Switch from a standard to a light engine and keep the AC20. I may play around with replacing the 4ml's. The build already runs hot so erml's are out, I'm not sure if you could free enough weight for mpl's, ersl's would be cooler but they might not have enough range.

Thinking of others with new tech, but since xl engines are fine there isn't much to gain with new weapons that doesn't put them into a different role.

I did change my 2K and try 2 hppc's with 3 srm2's and an xl280 but it was too hot! I downgraded one of the hppc's to a regular ppc and swapped the srm's for an mrm10 and more heat sinks and it works much better. It's cooler and there is more range overlap with the mrm's.

For poops and smiles I may change my 2D2 AC10, 4 srm4 brawler to an UAC10, 3 mrm10 mid-range build. But again, poking/pop tarting with the AC10 before moving into a brawl is so much fun I think the upgrade will play very differently.

Shad-2H: LFE250 - AC20 - 3xSRM4 - ERML, the brawl Shad-Hawk lives again.

I also like to run 2xAC5 - 3xSRM2 - ERML.

Don't really like GR's on my Shad-Hawk's.

Here is what I use - SHD-2K

Runs pretty cool - med lasers and srms have similar ranges - and its short, so stay alive during the match then clean up mid-late.

700+ damage is pretty easy if you use all the SRM ammo

Shadowhawks with MRMs are pretty fun. They have enough hard points to have a backup SRM to fire between cooldowns.

Add some decent ballistics(Ultra 5) and you can really bring the hurt.

One of my favorites is the Assault supporter one that runs twin LBX10s. Sure its all it has,but anything that assault opens up for me,I can rip off.
