Has anyone got any Dragon builds that utilize LRMs? I've thought of a few that might work (always combining an LRM 10 with a solid piece or two of ballistic weaponry for a "mobile artillery" kind of build), but I have yet to brave them in battle.

Anyone with experience?

I've built a Dragon with a LRM10 pack and 2 Large Lasers and TONS of lrm ammo and a 300 XL engine. Its so easy to relocate to firing spots. But a single LRM10 is kinda trivial for damage. I try to shoot at targets that are being focus fired with other LRMs or that do not have AMS. Backing it up with ballistics or large lasers is a must.

You're probably better off with the fast Centurion if you want a mobile LRM platform.

A dragon can do several things but boating isn't amongst them.

Dragons just can't mount enough LRMs to make them viable as a primary weapon system.
