I probably should have mentioned before I chose the DRAGON not only for its stats, but its combat duration as well. In a simple duration test, I go into the VR and hold-down both firing buttons to see which lasts the longest in conjunction with the PIXIE3.
DRAGON - Lasts until the PIXIE3 is at 340 ammo.
ROC4 - Lasts until the PIXIE3 is at 440 ammo.
GORGON - Waaaay to heavy.
GRIFFON - So short I'd never consider using it, lol.
Overall I prefer the DRAGON, it lasts a long time and has some great range. Although the shot velocity is a little lacking, I -am- using an MG and EO core as a primary means of atack to begin with, so there's not much of a loss.
As for cores:
The... I forgot it's name... The really heavy solid round EO core was, well, way to heavy for the design. It slowed Max Boost Speed down by alot, and not having 20 option slots really debilitates the overall design concept.
The E2 core's EO was far to short. It's a great core by itself, EO or not, but the combat duration was just lacking to much.
Besides, I wanted the URANUS on this design when I first came-up with the idea of it. I figured "URANUS + PIXIE3 = Rush", then decided to make it as uber as possible. Besides, the URANUS EO never runs-out of ammo, so that's another plus.
(I've had a few matches on Kai where I barely won simply because of the URANUS' EO when I had no weapons left.)
I do thank everyone for their ideas so far.
