I have to agree with Nightrunner here.
This was constructed even before the hightime of the Star League:
The first Mech incorporating CASE (as i remember).
The CASE and full armor makes this a tough target for a 20tonner.
It suffers still from the standard speed/no jumpjets combination but in a battalion in can be of good (not excellent but good) use. |

Full armor, standard speed and far reaching weapons. This thing was probably meant to face conventional units, which were largely defenseless against LRMs and unable to close on the Thorn (of course that vees can do it, but there are two MLs and lance-mates). The Thorn is good when facing similar weight opposition or conventional forces. When something stronger moves in, the Thorn should be somewhere else or well covered. |

You really have to look at this one in context- it's not a new 3050 mech, it's an old Star League mech about five centuries old. It predates double heat sinks, the Clans, and other problems modern lights face. At the time, it was a rarity- a 20 ton mech with LRMs- and any light that dropped below minimum range has to face 2 medium lasers. At the time, ER weapons didn't exist; LRMs were the longest range weapons commonly availible.
So with more firepower than anything else in its class, and enough speed to keep out of the way of heavies a lance of these would be quite an asset to Star League forces. The Thorns the Com Guards pulled out of storage are less useful against Clan forces, but it is a tough little bugger; it can be useful if part of a larger group. |

Take out the lrm's and add a little more armour and a 4 MG's and you will have an excellent city fighter would give this mech a 4 if that were to happen |

Not a very useful design unless your a House Marik Commander looking to kill off rival mechwarriors by giving them the honour of piloting this machine.
Its too slow to be a 20 tonner. Too lightly armour and short ranged to be a medium Mech.
Its like a size 2.3459 boot. nobody can wear it but boy does it shine nicely in garrison. |
