Overview:
It has long been an established fact that four-legged battlemechs are inherently more stable
over rough terrain than their two-legged cousins. Unfortunately, this stability comes at the
cost of weapon space, a price few 'mech designers are willing to pay.
Weapons space, however, doesn't matter when you don't have very many weapons to start with.
This was the thought Luthien Armor Works put into their newest scout design, the CPR-1
Cypher.
Capabilities:
The Cypher is a oddity among 'mechs, in that its' support weapons actually have a longer
reach than the main gun.
The 'mechs main weapon, the Victory Drumbeat Pulse Laser, is housed in a turret, much like
the one carried by the design's ancestor, the Goliath. This turret gives the 'mech an
unparalleled field of fire, and has made the "hull down" position a favorite among test
pilots.
The Cypher's other two weapons, a pair of Diverse Optics Extended-Range lasers, are housed
in the torso, helping to protect the 'mech from anything that gets too close.
The 'mechs true capability lies not in its weapons, but in its information-gathering
abilities. The Diplan Beagle probe allows the Cypher to easily compete with other, faster
scout designs, and the Matabushi Guardian ECM system protects it from being detected in
return. This ability to see without itself being seen has made the Cypher a favorite among
forward scouts and deep-penetration raiders as the "eyes" of the unit.

Needs C3 if it is meant for the Dracs. Can probably downgrade the Large pulse for a regular Large or ER Large and slap on the Slave and 1 ton of whatever you like.

Heavy armor and strong short to medium range weapons are dangerous combination, speed is just average, electronics are my favorites, but I would expect C3 on design that tries to close on enemy, if it was from later era and ER mediums are 3060 weapons.
