This AC design lacks mobility but is offset by it's Rank-S Atk Performance. Although It has a Rank-C Mobility, it's evading skills are barely affected. The AC has High AP comparible to that of a Heavyweight. equipping the COUGAR2 adds good mobility and stability but lower AP and defense. The AC is equiped with a PIXIE2 making it last for prolonged encounters and also the worst nightmare of close-range-dependent units. Pilot adapts and changes tactics depending on the situation and range. The Pilot used to rely on ECM makers but due to tournament regulations,(not that he's ever been in one) he trained hard to equal his performance or even better than when he had his ECM maker.

No tunes? I'd recommend putting some on, and spreading it amongst both types of defense and cooling.
And I think something's wrong with the optional parts you have typed out, there's far too many for the number of slots the U2 core has.
That said, I tested this design out, and it's actually a pretty sturdy midweight build. Vulture2 + G91 + Ananda is always dependable for this weight class so nothing more can be said about that.
On the matter of the FCS though, I think you'd benefit more if you switched to F73H, which is one the best for dual gunning. That change would give a wider lockbox, but at the cost of lesser range and a way-slower lock-on speed for the Empusa2 (which is very fun to use here by the way, in conjunction with the Gar2). I dunno, it's more of a preferential thing at this point. Weigh how you play, whether you like to close in on the opponent or play it safe with the missiles from far off, then make your decision from there. Or you could always equip Monju and get the average of both benefits.
While we're on the subject of missiles, I suggest you use the Kinnara strictly for when opponents are within close range. I had this done to me by Lord_Leperman a while back, and it's a very effective as well as surprising manuever. I ate every single missile in the volley, no joke.
To up the battle performance of this a bit though, I suggest the following changes:
Gast -> R3
Sylph -> HP
Try using Amino, ES, SS, EC, LA, L+ as your optionals.
Hope that helps. And welcome to the Republic.

First of, are you sure of the FCS? D2 has an ND lock-type, and none of this AC's weapons require an ND lock-type. You can probably go MONJU (for its missile lock time) or F73H or VOLUTE2 or one of the WS FCSs depending on your preference.
The rest of the parts are top notch. However, if it's possible for you to fit in the COUGAR2, then go ahead. COUGAR is a difficult leg to use since it's quite heavy and has a poor turning ability.
For single playing, the AC's good. But for tourneys and human matches, LORIS and a hangared HP are currently banned (well, at least in most AC boards I know of).
Legal version suggestion:
LORIS -> MACAQUE
COUGAR -> COUGAR2
GAR2 -> GAR (optional)
HP -> WRAITH
SYLPH -> WRAITH
PIXIE2 -> PIXIE3
Then tune accordingly.
Hope these can help you.
Lastly, welcome to the Republic.
EDIT: Note: Currently for TRR, LORIS is usable for blader ACs (L-arm or parry blade); no hangars are allowed to replace the blade though.

Some of the parts i equipped are banned? no prob. I'll just replace them. I DID tune my AC. I was just Lazy in putting it here. I know It's wierd equipping a ND FCS for my pixie2 but I have my reasons. Thanks for the replies. I'll think about your reccomendations

S-rank actually doesn't mean much.
Equipping Pixie2 moves almost any AC to at least an A-rank attack... while the RS sniper rifle, one of the best weapons in the game, does not do much to increase the attack rating.
The attack rating system of LR is completely unreliable because it doesn't take accuracy into account.

my legal version:
Head: YH15-DRONE
Core: CR-C75U3 hanger*
Arms: LEMUR or Macaque*
Legs: LH05-COUGAR2*
Booster: B03-VULTURE2
FCS: VOLUTE or F73H
Generator: CR-G91
Radiator: ANANDA
Inside: NONE
Extension: RM3*
Back Unit R: KINNARA MICRO MISSILE
Back Unit L: 73MV* (personal taste, although this seems to be more practical)
Arm Unit R: PIXIE3* (200+ ammo and weight are unecessary)
Arm Unit L: R3*
Arm Unit R Hanger: choose between 69h, wraith, or another sylph.*
Arm Unit L Hanger: WH05M-SYLPH MACHINEGUN
tunes: for the frame, spread the tunes between cooling and solid def. for the boosters, you can tune the v2 in almost anyway you want. a personal preference of mine would be spreading the tunes between accel and power. ananda should be tuned to max cooling and the g91 to max output.
- rober2 - 11-21-2006
I'll admit that there are extra optional parts here. I too wondered how it had 6 extra slots. so I'll change it, along with the other parts. it may have been changed now.
