Overview:
    The think tank over at D&K Creation Studios is back at it again, this time with the idea of
    making a fast, barely armored bug mech that is perfect for scouting and adequate at killing
    infantry.
    
    The end result of the pow-wow for a fast bugmech that can compete with its more venerable
    cousin the Locust is the Ladybird, something that hopes to not disappoint its bug mech
    senpai.

Capabilities:
    To help the Ladybird achieve the success it so desires, two tons of ferro fibrous armor, a
    small cockpit, an extra-light engine AND an extra-light gyro were all included into the mech
    to allow for its large-for-chassis engine as well as the MASC to all fit in. It might be
    light at armor but good luck catching it.
    
    For its offensive capabilities as well as the ability to spot targets for any artillery in
    the area, a TAG was included in the head along with an ER Small Laser. Mounted in the arms
    are its main anti-infantry weaponry in Small X-Pulse lasers. All combined allows its a
    nominal threat against other mechs of its weight class while providing ample infantry
    deletion should it be desired.
    
    As for its defensive capabilities, to make it extra hard to hit a Guardian ECM unit was
    placed into the chassis, which also allows it to counter enemy E-War when spotting.
    Furthermore, a ballistic AMS system with one ton of ammo was placed into the chassis to
    allow for a combination of added protection should someone fire missiles at it hoping for a
    lucky hit as well as to act as added infantry hate should the pilot use it as a machine gun.
    The designers were not worried about the possibility, reckoning that if the ammo were to
    explode then the mech would already be in an unfavorable position.
    
    While expensive, D&K Creation Studios hopes to knock it out of the park with every mech they
    release!
