Modding Tips

This is not a mecha you want to pilot unmodified, despite the power of its weapons. The mecha integrates much of its weaponry into its frame, completely wasting its high engine which would have let it get a point or two into MV/TR if the weapons were equipped on mountpoints instead of integrated into the frame. You are better off removing every integrated weapon and keeping only the Phase Cannons, and ripping out even the Left and Right Pods. Equip the Phase Cannons into the Leg Mounts, and get a helmet somehow, and you have a reasonably nimble long range sniper. Add some arc jets (preferably preinstalled on armor scavenged off other mecha, especially to take advantage of the high engines of this mecha) and you have a sniper that can zip around the battlefield keeping its distance from enemies.
