The Vipers should really execute that mech designer with the small pulse laser fetish. This mech would work well as a sniper- except it wastes a lot of space and weight on FIVE small pulses instead of heat sinks or weapons it can actually use. The long-range weapons are hampered by overheat, making this mediocre at best |

Something about this mech just screams "Student Warrior". Its got everything that you need to be familiar with if youre going to play the clans. Its a decent clan National Guard mech, though.
The weapons load can cover just about anything, but isnt going to be spectacular at anything, either. Ranged firefights are covered by the ER larges, which have a range3 comprable to, if not slightly better, than an LRM rack, though the heat output is going to be impressive. The UAC 2 seems to be there for when you need to shoot, but dont want to risk an overheat or shutdown.
The rest of the weapons are geared towards disturbingly close combat. The maximum range on the small pulse lasers is 9 hexes. Thats a pretty impressive gap between the ranged weapons and the in close stuff.
Some protection comes from the ECM system, but its not going to keep everything from locking on. The maneuverability is good for its weight, adding a bit more protection, but like the ECM, isnt flawless.
A pretty good heavy mech to add to city attack or defense stars. Or as a way to introduce new players to the Ways of the Clans. As anything else, it falls just shy of run-of-the-mill.

hmmm, not bad but not great either, weapons are a bit dodgey, the only punch comes from 2 Large lasers with all other weapons severly limited by range or damage. |
