I dont drive Dragons, are they capable of a SRM6 in place of that 4? If so, I would improve that. I think Dragons lend themselves better to hit and run or moving tactics, so I would favor the AC10 on that arm. Or drop it, and concentrate on your lasers, or vice versa.
Because you need to move, its difficult to fire unlike weapon types, such as Cannons and lasers. Something to consider.

You can lessen the armor on your legs if you need to. I run 16 on each leg on my Hunches. I havent been legged in over a week.

I have had some good luck with this build, seeing as it is fast and can hit quite hard if in the right position, like all dragons.
I've run a 1N with a single ultra, 2 SRM4s and 2ML, it's balance of firepower is surprisingly good since I don't have all my firepower in the most easily destroyed parts of my mech.
If you're using a single ultra, then it is a good idea to put more weapons on, seeing as it's still a threatening weapon by itself, and people are drawn towards shooting ballistics off of mechs in the first place..

That is my exact dragon build and it does tons of damage. The problem with many pilots is they don't understand consistency. Its better to have consistent damage than trying to chase numbers in the mechlab that leaves you overheated and dead. In a turn fight you can spam the lbx and still do damage and the streaks can be fired at extreme angles as well. During hots maps you will find yourself switching to lbx/streaks a lot until your heat gets back down to normal levels, meanwhile you will have players holding fire or overheating in front of you as you beat them silly. I have done 700 damage more than once on that build.

FP: 43
xl360 engine 97.2 KPH / 106.9 KPH
HE: 1.33 (16 DHS)
Armor - Ferrous 402 (max)
Endo
2 LLasers RA
2 MLasers LT
SRM6 CT (1 Ton Ammo)
I find that you generally don't need an AMS in a dragon because of its ability to **** and duck and cover. Its great for flanking enemies and causeing confusion within their ranks. Also the Left arm makes a great shield.

4ML/AC10/SRM6
300XL.
I must say, its been pretty fun and suprisingly effective. At first I was Ramboing it too much, and getting squished. I settled down and started playing it much like my Hunchbacks though, coming in the second wave behind an assault. It adds a nice punch, and has some staying power. I tried the 360XL, but I found it limited my fire power more than I wanted. Additionally, while it is pretty fast like that, it turns like a dump truck, so all that speed, for me didnt seem to help much.
Anyway, fun mech, so now Im stuck eliting it. lol.

I found my Cataphract 2x works better for a mix of energy, ballistic, and missile weaponry. It has 2 srm6s, an ac10, and an er ppc along with an xl 325 engine.
