Overview:
the SNP-00 is a prototype of the SPR units using Light Gauss
Rifles from Mark, Jump Jets built on site, XL Engine, full armor, and
Med Lasers for up front and in your face protection.
with more mobilty and armor then those to come after it, though
because using the lighter Rifles it's damage is just under 50% less
while having better range making it a better Sniper when Range comes in to play and able to use it's Steath Armor to its ulmost. but what it lacks in Speed and Long Range fire power it more
then makes up for in armor and Close range fire.
though it has been seen in test with the latter units built from
this prototype working togather from their ranges and have shown to work well with the SPR-03 and 04.
though the SPR-02 of this prototype uses a non XL engine while
still not missing much other then most of it's Back up weapons are
gone and ES is used cutting Cost by 50%.

Might be seen with the SPRs in units that can put them to good

The Standard Engine/ES variant is probably a bit better than the standard model. The problem is survivability; the dual LGRs can explode, and without the vulnerable XL Engine, the 'Mech gains a great deal more toughness. But to do that, you have to strip armour away and make it weaker...
Stealth armour and a sniper design go hand-in-hand, since the plan is to stay at long range. 12.5 tons isn't bad protection, especially for a support unit...but you'd need to be really careful with the 'Mech.
I'd reccommend this:
Endo Steel
Standard Engine
LGR with 1 ton Ammo
CASE
ER Large Laser
3 ER Medium Lasers
2 Medium Lasers
2DHS
13 tons Armour
4 Jump Jets
ECM Suite
This is a bit frindlier a setup for survivability; you might also like to trade the Standard Mediums and the ER Large in for an ER PPC, but that would stress the heat system pretty badly.

But that, too, looks a little too much like the Cataphract...
Personally, I'm a little disappointed we never got a Stealth Archer. Now, that would be an unwelcome surprise.
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.

Different...need to see in action to really give you a better take on it and Nightward a Stealth Archer...how would that work out? It's a fire support mech...unless Jamie Wolf or Morgan Kell are piloting it...
