Did you know there was a Zeus hero mech?
It has MASC.
It can run light engine 310 (because I own one) uac10 (ac20 doesn't fit) 4srm4 and 2 med lasers.
Could be a brawler like the executioner.
Anyone have any thoughts?
My guess is that no one has paid the cash for such a crappy mech?

So I bought this in the black friday sale.
I love my executioner. But this is not an exe.... The 15 ton difference accounts for that!
Looking for any advice /ideas for builds?
Running lots of SRMs (with Artemis) is hot and still doesn't have great convergence, especially further out than 100m. I find that as soon as I start putting in ballistics it feels like I have fewer weapons than most of my medium mechs!
I bought a light 340 engine for it, also have a 310.

I picked one up in the sale as well, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
Build.
For the moment, it's a bit slower than my other brawler Zeus, which is set up like this... but having the missiles spread across two locations makes Skokomish much more resistant to damage, since it can keep fighting with a decent chunk of its firepower no matter which side goes first. Once I get its skill tree a bit more fleshed out, I intend to drop a bit of ammo and a sink to add some backup lasers, but it hasn't really suffered without them- it would mostly just be for the burst damage. I'm also going for full speed tweak, which would bump the top speed with MASC up over 80kph.
It's been trading pretty favorably, anyway, which makes me happy because any time I pick up an assault it's a gamble as to whether or not I can make it perform. It might not be for everyone, but I don't regret spending the MC.
