Star League Battlemech Contract #4590-A:
Needed: A mech for front line service, that can stand up to the best weapons on the battlefield and still give as good as it gets. This battlemech must have a top speed of no less 80kph and should not cost no the half as much as the current Shadow Hawk mech, (circa 3050).
The mechs' parts must be from sources that are willing and able to supply the SLDF and will not delay parts do to political problems. Mass of the mech should not exceded 55 tons.
Weapon array and over all setup of the mech is left to each company to settle on, the only requiriment from the SLDF is no Cappllean technology at this time.
Please submit your bids and prototypes as soon as possible.

Sorry, I don't have my 3050 readout handy. If you can supply me with a hard C-bill price cap, I'll submit a design or two.

Both are very much with end the primeters given and I think you have a good mech with each.
Now how about some fluff on and about each?

Step right up and take a look at the latest and greatest in mech warfare. I present to you some of the leading front line designs currently (or soon to be) available from the many fine mech manufactures I represent.
First, I assume since you wish to avoid any Cappllean tech, you would not be interested in the upgraded VND-5l Vindicator by Ceres Metal Industries?
So, allow me to also point out the SDH-7A and -7K upgrades to the tried and true ShadowHawk from Lang Industries.
And of course there's the ENF-8R Enforcer packaged from Achernar BattleMechs.
(specifications for these mechs can all be found in this forum, or I will repost them under this thread if desired.)
Now, my next posts will present additional new designs, still in the prototyping stage, ether of which we are sure will meet SDLF's requirements. I'm sure that, whichever mech is ultimately declared the contract winner, it will be one from a firm represented by my firm, Chaotic Consulting, Ltd. We look forward to doing business with you.

The original upgrade of the venrible ShadowHawk, while
adiquate, left something to be desired. With newer, more
capible models coming off the line, Lang Industries found
that sales of the SHD-5M had fallen to almost nil.
Designers went back to the drawing board, bringing with
them battlefiled data from after action reports. Stripping
the basic SHD chasis bare, they started in fresh with an
eye toward what Mechwarriors had been complaining
about. The resulting mech stayed true to the original jack
of all trades design, but greatly enhanced all around
performance. Currently undergoing limited field testing to
determine it's combat value, the SDH-7A shows excellent
promise.

A Kurita varrient of the new SHD-7A, the -7K continues
their tradition of using PPCs. Downgrading the long range
missle rack to a Holly 10-rack provided the ability to
replace the Martel ER Large Laser with the new Donel ER
PPC. Additionaly, Kurita engineers removed 2 of the
mech's original 5 jump jets to strengthn the armor (mostly
for the legs).
A second potential varient exists in a design study (unable
to confirm construction as of yet) that downgrades the
Holly SSRM-4 rack to a -2 rack and adds the Artimis fire
control system to the LRM rack.

Overview: 22
When CMI originaly upgraded the Vindicator with
recovered technologies, they did so haphazardly. Pressed
for time, they plugged in recovered tech without detailed
analasis of what was realy needed. The -5L rectifies that
situation. Going back to the original mission requirements,
they looked at the -3L model with an eye toward
improvement. The ER-PPC was an obvious keeper, as
were the new heat sinks. However, they realized they
didn't NEED as many as they had installed, and stripped
the excess. Also, the medium pulse laser turned out to be
a failure. While not a poor weapon, the Vindicator lacked
the ability to use it to it's potential, as it conflicted with it's
other weapon systems. Returning to the older model
medium lasers was called for. A second such laser was
placed on the Vindicators left arm, providing additional
close in support. Additionaly, the CMI engineers realized
they had enough space in the chasis to use the new
endosteel technologies. While bulkier, this new chasis
was much lighter. Finaly, using the accrued weight
savings, the CMI engineers upgraded teh LRM system
from a 5 rack to a 15 rack system, granting the -5L entirely
new battlefield uses.

Targeting & Tracking System: Federated Hunter
Overview: 23
After action reports showed that the -5D Enforcer upgrade
had a lower battlefield life expentency then it's
predicessor, the -4M. A 4 month research effort was put
into motion to find out why. Everything pointed to the -5D
being measurably better in every way, but combat apeared
to disagree. Finaly, it was tracked down the the XL
engine installation. While this allowed increased
movement and weapon loadout, it proved time and time
again to be a critical weakness as it could not be
protected by as heavy of armor. Hense, Achernar
BattleMechs redesigned the model. The new LB-X
autocannon was a success, as well as the Er Large Laser,
so both were kept. The small laser had proven totaly
useless, and so was scrapped. To make room for heavier
armor, the new chasis incorperated EndoSteel
technologies. This allowed the new design to cary even
more armor then the orginal, making it as well armored as it
could be. Additionaly, the newer "freezers" were installed,
freeing up additional tonnage used to mount a new (to this
class) weapon system - a pair of ER Medium Lasers.
overall, the new mech shows promise in testings, with
greater survivability then the original and better firepower
then the "upgrade".

Given the recent actions by the former First Lord and the resulting war between the St. Ives Compact and the Capllean Confederation, the SLDF has taken steps to cut purchases of equipment and supplies from the Confederation until as such time as we feel they have made amens for their actions.
While the idea of field upgrades, if possible, to current Vindicators already in the ranks of the SLDF are welcome, buying new war machines from the Confederation is something we are not inclined to do at this time.

Interesting, could it be possible for jump jets to be fitted on this mech prior to the trials?

A last one, specificly designed for this contract.
MGM-44 Magnum
Mass: 55 tons
Chassis: BI-M-4 Endo Steel
Power Plant: Core Tek 275
Cruising Speed: 54.0 km/h
Maximum Speed: 86.4 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor: Durallex Medium Ferro-Fibrous
Armament: 3
1 S&W ER-PPC
2 Holly Short Range 6-Rack (Streak) @15 rounds
3 Martel Mod B Medium Lasers
Manufacturer(s): 1
Bowie Industries
Communications System: Easy Talk 2
Targeting & Tracking System: Federated Hunter Mark II
Overview: 11
Designed explicitly to meet the requirements of the SDLF's
Battlemech Contract #4590-A:, the MGM-44 is a
comprimise between high firepower, high survivability, and
low cost. The MGM's short range punch is quite
impressive for it's size, but it's weaker long range punch
and lack of jump capacity limite deployment options in the
eyes of some generals. Whether or not the SLDF's
procurment board sees the same problems is unknown at
this time. Bowie Industries, however, is "betting the
house" on this design, as it's failure could result in BI being
forced to liquidate some assets to stay in business.

Very impressive, now how many of these can Bowie produce a month?

1 correction. The specs state 3 tons of ammo for the gauss rifle. The correct ammount is 2. I dropped a ton doing last minute modifications, and forgot to change that on the "weapon list".

I would assume that they could produce any (realistic) number required by the SLDF if they were given sufficent notice to expand construction facilities and were insured prompt payment.

I'd probably have to slow it down or drop the AMS and some armor, but it can be done.
Which would you prefer?

We do have a field upgrade kit that brings the standard VND-3L up to the following standards :
VND-3L-II Vindicator
Mass: 45 tons
Chassis: Standard
Power Plant: GM 180
Cruising Speed: 43.2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 64.8 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 120 meters
Armor: Standard
Armament: 3
1 Smasher Type II ER-PPC
1 Holly 15-rack long range missle system @ 8 rounds w/ case
3 Conventry Mk II ER-Small Lasers
Manufacturer(s): 1

The cost of this as an field upgrade kit is ~400,000c-bills for parts (assuming return of removed parts) or ~600,000c-bills for parts and labor (again, assuming return of removed/replaced parts). If return of the removed/replaced parts in not desireble, cost will, of course, increase.
