================================================================================================
Overview:
This upgrade of the Crusder production line was pushed through by the same set of engineers
that setup the ARC-4K production line. As the weapons load outs are almost the same, and
allow you to fit slightly better in fighters in the same lances of your front line missile
lances.
The 5K Crusader takes the six rack of missiles approach and hopes that enemies will waste
shots on its CASEed torsos. As it is slightly better protected than the ARC-4K's ammo ever
was. Allowing easier survival on the battlefield.
Capabilities:
This version of the Crusader actually outguns the older Kurita Crusaders that only mounted
LRM 10s at range. Its a decent setup but the six LRM 5s and one ER Medium laser for ranged
work is more a missile lance idea, than a front line fighter. Since it has three tons of
ammo split between its six launchers it can easily load three different types of ammo
depending on the situation. Also, if its paired in a lance with the ARC-4K they can both can
a different set of speciality ammo in the 3rd reserve bin, letting the lance effectively
carry four types of ammo. With the third ton in each mech's case.
For in close work the 5K features one ER Medium laser, two Medium lasers, two Medium Pulse
lasers, with two Streak SRM 4s to back up and critical find.
Deployment:
The Ghost Regiments, the Sword of Light are the primary users of this design but it has been
seen in other newly formed units that are needing front line quality missile support mechs.
It will slowly be phased into all the other units as losses eventually force the older
models out of service.
