So yeah, I tested it out, including akamm's suggestions on shoehorning it all on the LF71.
The problem I faced with changing to a lighter quad leg was that defenses were sure to suffer, not to mention stability going lower. True enough, I found shell defense takes quite a dip (by around 100 points). However, I found that if I popped on the Eye3 and tuned accordingly, I could actually make a pretty balanced AC, defensive-wise. So, I guess here's the next variant:
<span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'>Tyrant Jr.</span>
Core Frame:
Eye3 | U2 | XS | LF71
0,5,0,5,0 | 0,0,0,5,0 | 0,2,8,0,0 | 0,0,10,0,0
Internal Systems:
Vulture2 | F73H | Lotus | Ananda
0,2,4,4 | ~ | 0,10,0 | 0,0,10
Armaments and Countermeasures:
Medusa | - | 98G | 98G | RS | HP | - | -
Optional Enhancements:
Amino, ES, EC, Kissyoh, L+, Codon
A bit faster, and a bit smaller physically. Does that lead to a lesser chance of getting hit? An interesting question methinks, hehe.
This one lends itself better to skating on the ground, but that also makes it a bit more predictable, since opponents will know what you're up to when you're hugging the ground (but as Zigg showed <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYejuXGU1I8' target='_blank'>here</a>, even that's not entirely a necessity
).
All the same however, I think the original one fits my style more. I'm still a bit unsure about the head though, since not one of them broke in tests against the AI (damn From). I have four choices now:
Hornet - has the look of just plain win
Eye3 - stats and nothing else
SR2 - has better defenses, but has greater drain
Drone - better stats than the Hornet but looks meh
I can't make up my mind. :/
