That's right. Named after the rapper...and the
Thug. I'm not wasting good names on throwaway designs.
It uses the lighter ppcs w/TC and streak missiles to get it's accuracy up. It still runs rather cool. The compact gyro was a way to eat up 1.5 tons on a max-armor, 0 crit frame.

'Mech looks okay- 20-pt hits at medium-long range are pretty sweet if you can pull 'em off. Solaris Skunk Works works pretty well, but it's bizarre that they made the TRO stat-block harder to read than HMP's.
@skiltao - Yeah, the thing about more smaller weapons is that they give you damage more consistent with your to-hit probability. It reduces the role of luck (good and bad)in the scenario. Of course, that balances back by letting me throttle my heat/damage and freeing up enough space for a TC.
I'm still trying to get the Battleforce thing working. Not that I'm complaining.
