================================================================================================
Overview:
    This field refit of the TDR-17S replaces the ER PPC with a Snub PPC. The freed 1 ton is used
    to fit a Small and an ER Small laser into the torso.
    
    One of the greatest weaknesses of the original TDR-17S design was the difficulty in
    maintaining TSM heat, especially at a run; short of turning off heatsinks, there was no good
    way to maintain 18 weapon heat plus two movement heat. By replacing the ER PPC with a more
    generally efficient Snub-Nosed PPC, and adding a Small and an ER Small Laser, several
    combinations of weapons become available that would maintain the exact right amount of heat,
    regardless if the mech were standing still, walking, running, or jumping.
