I know it sucks donkey balls, but I already have ACW-1. Yeah, A is an omni and more flexible, but I've found my perfect build with 1 already and try not to keep 2 same mechs in my hangar.

In case HSN isn't total garbage, what do folks run on it in general?

Looking at its on-paper stats I would probably run 2 ERML + MRM30 with a LFE engine around the same size as the stock engine (arms stripped entirely).

You can do a few entertaining things with it. It isn't great or even good, but it's fun; you have enough missile points to screw around with pretty much any launcher combo you want, and the 'Mech is reasonably agile. I like running rockets plus whatever on it because the arms fall off pretty easily, so it's best if the main weapon(s) are in the torso, but it should be at least passable at SRM spam too if you throw on a few more jets to poptart with and minimize exposure time. Hellspawns do not like getting shot at.

If I didn't already have the ACW-A I'd take that, even if I had other ACWs.

The ECM is nice, and you can either run an SRM brawler, or you can pack on some ATM9s and do some nice damage under cover of ECM while you stick with the big boys.

Hmm, interesting suggestions. I'm too scared to run XL on any IS mech bigger than Light, but LFE+ML+MRM combo sounds great. These Rocket Launchers look hilarious as well. Gonna experiment, thanks for throwing those ideas.

If you got more, I'll be glad to hear.

Nope they explode on contact with the enemy.
