Mech design that popped into my head, config wise. Wanted to do a basic second line unit, sorta like a Watchman, but a little better armed.
Frontiersman
Chassis: Star League IM-03x
Power Plant: General Mechanics 220 Light
Cruising Speed: 43
Maximum Speed: 64.5
Jump Jets: Luxor Load Lifters
Jump Capacity: 60 meters
Armor: Livinston Ceramics with CASE
Armament:
1 Diverse Optics/A Large Laser
2 Diverse Optics Type 18 Medium Lasers
1 Devastator Series-07 LRM 10
2 SperryBrowning Machine Guns
Manufacturer: Star League Weapons Research
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: TransComm Alpha
Targeting and Tracking System: Winston Sidewinder with TAG, Beagle Active Probe, Special Targeting Computer
Overview:
Meant to be a backup mech, rugged and easy to repair, the
Frontiersmen unit is a example of middle range technology; carrying a
series of packages that vary its general capabilities, the mech has
served good in its position. Built using reicent armor
configurations, the mech resembles a hunched shouldered humanoid with
long, thick arms, some jokers have siad it looks like a gorilla
walking upright. Jump capable, equiiped with a BAP and TC as standard
issue, the mech has many basic but functional features, no mainline
mech or 'showcase' it nonetheless is a solid, strong platform that
many units will find useful to fill the ranks. Meant to surive at
length without heavy repair, the weapons package is standardized as
much as possible without making it an omni mech, heat sinks, engine
capacity and the like are all more then adaquate for this
configuration. The most expesnvie componnet of this mech is the Light
class fusion engine. Many ratings have listed this as a powerfully
basic unit. Agaisnt the design however, is its armor, slightly thin
in the torso and legs to allow room for the jump jets and weapons
room, though a cautious pilot can handle this unit. The heat curve in
the primary configuration is also slightly hot, nothing dangerous,
but enough to make pilots operate with a measure of caution. Overall
it is a 'contender' mech, built using older but still viable weapons
and systems that places it within a affordable price range for its
tonnage. The primary configuration carries a series of Diverse optics
lasers as primary weapons, a LRM10 rack with 2 tons of ammunition and
a set of machine guns for anti personnel use. Secondary
configurations vary based on reigon of sale.
