================================================================================================
Overview:
The Koshi Deluxe began life as a field modification in a second-line unit stationed on a
deep Periphery rock. The techs, lacking the necessary parts to fix a malfunctioning Active
Probe unit, stripped the system entirely from the 'mech's head, and replaced it with a
hardpoint. The 'mech's pilot, an aggressive freeborn warrior named Star Commander Ralph
who, because of his frequent incidents of insubordiation had been unable to secure a heavier
battlemech, wanted every possible cubic centimeter of his small 'mech packed with weaponry,
and so he ordered a large laser installed on the 'mech's head. Despite the additional
cockpit heat the placement created he preferred a head mount over a torso or arm mount on
the rationale that he would rather die than be stuck with an impotent 'mech in battle.
Capabilities:
The Koshi chassis is well suited for a mobile fire support role. It's minimal armor is a
strong disincentive for an up close and personal fighting style, while it's considerable pod
space allows for the mounting of some relatively heavy weapons, while it's speed allows the
pilot to remain at long range where his weapons give him an advantage.
Deployment:
Star Commander Ralph (now Star Captain Ralph) is one of the most successful freeborn
warriors in the ranks of Clan Jade Falcon. His success with his Koshi model, which he
dubbed the Deluxe configuration has made the design increasingly popular among freeborn
warriors, although no trueborn will consent to pilot the design. Kael Pershaw has advocated
banning the design, claiming that it is unwise to allow freeborns to have symbols of their
own success, but after seeing Star Commander Ralph handily earn the rank of Star Captain in
his Koshi Khan Pryde was so impressed by the freeborn's ability that she decided to relent.
Since then, the this has become an increasingly popular configuration for the Koshi for
situations where Clan Jade Falcon expects a stand up no holds barred fight on terrain with
unobstructed lines of fire, although it's use is still confined to freeborn warriors. Some
trueborn warriors have taken it upon themselves to stomp out this symbol of freeborn pride,
challenging Koshi Deluxe pilots to trials at any chance they get, but so far they have lost
as many of the trials as they have won, further humiliating the trueborns and fueling
freeborn pride.

Comment:
Armor is lacking but the combined throw weight of the guns will easily give lights and mediums a bad day.
Not bad at all. This can be part of a coverfire lance for any scouter team.
The LRM has few reloads but most lights dont leave long enough to fire off 16 volleys anyway and the lack of min range on the LRMs means that the mech isn't shoddy upclose either.

Yes it's Mist Lynx. Otherwise resembles one of my own designs (Shadowdancer A), that will be somewhere around (I'm posting it after this review). Fast and effective sniper and fire-support mech.

I like it, for a clan design. It definately has potential. Sure it's only got 8 reloads but name a clan engagement of the light variety that lasts more than 8-12 rounds anyway?
The ER Large will pretty much kill any light mech to begin with. The light armour is also a hinderance but your at long range and your speed should keep you mostly safe.
It can in theory overheat if you jump and alpha, but if you jump your not firing from your limited LRM ammo anyway so its not a serious issue.
I like it, but compared to some other clan lights its not perfect. but still an above average design quiaff?

Mist Lynx...This mech is a Mist Lynx .Koshi is something those inner sphere surrats came up with...A nice mod the ER large Laser LRM 15 combination gives a long reach and the Mist Lynxes mobility helps it keep the range open.The armour protection is still deficient.

Kind of like a Valkyrie. The LRM 15 and ER large will make this a good sniper. The speed will let it stay at long range against anything but a faster light 'Mech. It'll do some good damage, and the laser will make it something not to be ignored until it's killed. The LRM has too little ammo; you'll run out quickly, and lose more than half your firepower. Overall good, but not perfect.
