Overview:
First built in 2550 as one of the SLDF's earliest assault 'Mechs, the Striker has proved its
worth many times over. As technological advancements enabled the Star League to build
heavier assault 'Mechs, the Striker was relegated to second line and garrison units. Over
the long centuries of the Succession Wars the number of Strikers left in the Inner Sphere
steadily decreased, and at present less than 300 Strikers remain operational. The primary
production facility for the Striker was destroyed during a Kurita raid in 2867, and no new
Strikers have been produced in recent years.
Capabilities:
Built with the largest fusion engine available at the time of its initial design, the
Striker was the fastest and heaviest 'Mech in the Star League inventory until advances in
technology displaced it. The massive weight of the Striker's engine limited the weapons the
design team could install, but they gave the 'Mech the heaviest arsenal it could carry. The
primary weapon is a HellStar PPC, supplemented by a large laser to give the Striker a
knockout one-two punch. Secondary weapons are an AC-5 with one ton of ammunition and three
medium lasers. The Striker also has fifteen heat sinks and thirteen and a half tons of
armor.
Variants
The only known variant of the Striker, the 2D model used by the Capellan Confederation,
replaces the original fifteen heat sinks with twelve double heat sinks and adds two tons of
armor. In addition, the HellStar PPC is replaced with a Magna FireStar extended range PPC,
and the three medium lasers are replaced with two medium pulse lasers.
Deployment:
The armed forces of House Steiner and House Liao possess most of the Star League-era
Strikers, and all of the Steiner machines remain in military forces stationed in the Lyran
Alliance. House Liao has recently deployed its Strikers in its front line 'Mech units,
whereas most Lyran Strikers are in militia units along the Steiner Periphery border near
Marik space. The rest of the known Strikers are spread throughout the Inner Sphere and the
Periphery, reportedly in the possession of several mercenary units.

An easy to do and straight forward upgrade that looks like a field refit. Added range, full armor, superb heat dissipation and a standard engine make this a formidable fighter.

A cheap and simple refit makes sense, the upgrades offer only a slight improvement, but its better than nothing.
Only the med pulses annoy me, this mech isn't quite fast enough to chase enemies with pulses, regular mediums would have being better.
FF armor could also be a worthwhile investment.

Seems like they wanted to refit this design, but not make it too expensive.
The speed is very nice for its weight, and the heat sinks can handle a few alpha strikes before forcing the pilot to choose his weapons carefully.
The armor is what I would call moderate to heavy for its weight, and will let the mech take quite a beting before being punctured.
The weapons have me puzzled, though. Half of them have been updated with newer tech, but the others have remained largely untouched. It seems more like a compromise than any kind of improvement. The standard large laser and AC 5 gives the mech some ability to deal damage, while cooling down at the same time.
Other than the odd weapons load, this mech is a good brawler, one that can wade into firefights with a good chance of walking out in one (relative) piece.
Use this to either anchor a defensive force, or put together a lance of them to crack a well-defended area.

This is a solid refit; it retains the original design's long range punch and improves on the heat curve considerably. I wouldn't consider it a front line design in the late fifties, but it would do nicely in a militia unit, Chaos March, or Periphery unit.

3058... and tech has walked by this mech. Its got nothing really as a refit. Just 3 tons more armour and DHS. This mech could be a refit rather than a new design really.
Cheap and probably decent as long as no clan opponents are going to be fought.
Still you'll have to manage your heat fairly well some days. Would have been better off with ER Large Laser and standard PPC, rather than the way it is here. Not sure if the mediums pulses are a good idea or a bad, but they're there for you to use.
