I can't test the design yet, but shouldn't it be better to swap the Jackal2 to another HW leg that is lighter or has more weight capacity (or less drain)? I can't remember the names of HW legs, but I know there's one that can work.
As for the MPX, it's killer. Something like a parry blade on boosters that can track ACs. But, how do you use it? It fires a very slow missile, and with the prevailing backpeddling tactic in LR, it's gonna be difficult to use. Also, since this AC doesn't have OB and it's kinda slow (relative to faster AC or ACs with OB), then the missile may not be as effective. I'd suggest another missile launcher. Swapping will also give you a lot of extra weight. You can probably put in the Spart01 or the Nymphe or Hydra or some other spammable missile. It'd be a good alternative to the Hydra2, which is not too much of a spam missile anymore, but a tactical one, IMO.
I dunno how much this AC is going over the weight limit, but if you're gonna wait till you use all the missiles, or a lot of it before dropping them, then this AC'll be under a lot of fire (and get a lot of damage). It'll be difficult to evade and counterattack mid-long range ACs. And, the AC is gonna be open to missile barrages.
But, until I can test it (or until other guys post), it'll be your call on what you want to do for it. :bigsmile:
