Hehehe, it looks less organized than most of mine.
Let's see here... You got a long ranged gaussie, as well as a second array of an impressive three Large Lasers, a couple MGs, and a fully functional electronics suite. Nice touch there. It should probably be more useful against missile boats than the AMS.(Does anyone actually get a lot of use out of those, compared to using a GECM or just a simple 1 and a half more tons of armor?)
Dayum, 4/6 movement is fast for a 95 tonner! You could have loaded it with more DHS to upgrade one or two lasers to an ER version. Or you could have just used 2 X-Pulses with a ton to spare.

Not with IS 3050 tech like he used
Why argue if the glass is half full or half empty, when you know someone is going to knock it over and spill it anyways.

Well, maybe not the 2 X-Pulses, but that doesn't rule out the ER laser mod.

Yes it does, IS had no ER lasers in 3050. And with ECM and an AMS, it is quite protected, plus almost Max armor and a glorious mid-range punch.

I do like the over all feel of this Banshee, it offers more from the mech and gives the user options.

The design had its origins in a MWO mockup, due to the differences in BTech and MWO,this Banshee got the MG's, ECM, and BAP. And of course, it can still wallop like 95 tonner in melee.

The ER large lasers were available by 3037. The meds and smalls were not, but the larges certainly were.

In this case, I wasn't a fan of the 12 heat they'd add.

Good point and again it reinforces the idea that just because a new version is there doesn't mean it has to be used when other tech allows the older stuff to perform better.

I'd be tempted to try a pulse set up, or a version that trades the Gauss for just a UAC5.

Prototype Banshee BNC-33E
Using the BNC-23E as a base chassis, the prototype 33E was created to utilize a trio of ER Large Lasers instead of the large lasers to make it more useful at longer ranges, at the expense of most of it's secondary armament and electronics suite. Due to critical space issues, the BNC-33E is actually 2 tons underweight, and it wouldn't be until later when compact gyros are developed that these 2 tons of weight are used.

I don't see this as a production variant, but I could really envision it at the back of a "Historical Turning Points" book. i.e.: some officer's personalized variant which was altered at a factory. Feels very Lyran.

banshee was always lyran. It was an under gunned assault because of the speed it had.
now that the engine isn't such a weight, it can actually carry the firepower an assault should have. I do like the dual erppcs the updated one has, though it sucks it is just range.
Now with engines weighing less, the other assaults still have more on it, but not as bad.
