================================================================================================
Overview:
    I designed this to see if I could create a 5/8/8 design using Improved Jump Jets and TSM and
    see how it would fair. I wanted to see how unbalanced the combo really is.

Capabilities:
    The design is packed with enough lasers to be able to generate 29 heat on the first turn and
    to maintain the +9 heat from that point onwards regardless of movement type. This benefits
    the 8 jump which allows you to get next to someone and deliver a 22 point kick.
    
    The lasers allow some softening aided by the targeting computer when not in kicking range.
