================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Malus, like the other three of its cohorts, was created by D&K Creation Studios thanks
    in great part to helping to found a mecernary company in "Sequere Nos". In particular, it
    came into being after every other 'mech in its lineage, one meant to function as a command
    'mech for both its cohort as well as greater lances of assaults as well, all while staying
    safe and secure on a far end of the battlefield overlooking all like some kind of living
    tower possessed by a cruel hatred.

Capabilities:
    Weighing in at ninety five tons, on an endo-steel chassis, protected with seventeen and a
    half tons of standard armor, the Malus is built to embody an image almost like a king over
    looking its kingdom in its preferred battlefield position of a high mount. Being power by a
    two-eighty five rated standard fusion engine, its maximum speed at a run is a mere fifty
    four kilometers per hour. However to make up for this deficient speed as well as to allow
    the 'mech to get into advantageous positions it mounts a total of three assault grade jump
    jets for a maximum jump distance of ninety meters.
    
    Its armament is one worthy of being wary of. All thanks to all of its weaponry being linked
    to a right torso mounted targeting computer, its left arm mounted and CASE II protected
    Gauss Rifle is fed with three total tons of ammunition to allow for a large amount of
    battlefield longevity. For further long ranged striking power, two Light PPCs are mounted in
    the right arm, with one having a capacitor attached. For close ranged protection,
    unfortunately the beastly design only has a Small X-Pulse laser mounted in the head, mostly
    to be used to deter any infantry elements or battle armor it comes across.
    
    The Gauss Rifle, however, is not the most important piece of equipment in the 'mech. No, the
    most important piece of equipment is the left torso mounted Communications Equipment. Coming
    in at seven tons, this allows the 'mech to easily coordinate any lance it is attached to as
    well as to allow the unit to uplink with any satellites should one be in range. For further
    protection to this command unit, a company standard Angel ECM unit is mounted in the central
    torso as to allow for maximum disruption of enemy electronics. Finally, to protect the
    pilot, the cockpit is armored to allow for maximum survivability.

Could use a command console, and there is enough slack you could fit one. Armored cockpit, ppc capacitor, and downgrading the angel ecm and case. And then you'd have the trifecta of ghost targets. Or all the initiative bonuses.

Unfortunately, initiative stacking doesn't work like that. And sure, I could, but have you seen the bonuses that Angel gives off? It lets you de-streak missiles. Also uh, CASE II is just too nice to drop because sure, you might lose your gauss rifle, but you won't lose your communications equipment in the resulting explosion. Also tbh I kinda just wasn't sure what to do with some extra tonnage so armored cockpit and a PPC capacitor seemed like safe bets.
