Wanted to jump start a thread for Crusader builds. The mech isn't available on MechDB yet, but we can build them there in the mechlab anyway, we just have to leave 2 open spaces in each arm for the lower arms and hands.

With this build, I'm violating my basic rule of mixing LRMs and SRMs in a single build. Normally I avoid this because the overlap where you can use both is so narrow. But the Crusader is GOOD at it, its quirks don't lend to a different specialty, and it fits the lore of the mech, which is always where I start.

Two Artemis LRM10's for firing on the way to the brawl and opportunity shots once there, then four Artemis SRM 4's for near-pinpoint in the brawl, backed by a couple Medium Lasers.

I've run it about a dozen times so far and am 12 for 12 with it, a 2.0 or higher KDR thus far and 500+ damage each match... so it works despite how it looks.

But... I look forward to other people's takes on the chassis! Conversation jump-started!

Looks interesting, I'll try it out!

What are you thinking with the 7L? I'm on the struggle-bus with a big slow mech utilizing stealth armor.

I don't have a build for the 7L that I like yet. I ground through my 5 matches in a 4xASRM4 + 2xMRM10 + 2MPL guy with a 260LFE, but I didn't really like it.
