Description
The Lightray was designed by Martinson Armaments to be a heavy scout 'Mech and was put into production in 3064. The Lightray is built on a lightweight Geometric 33B Endo Steel to help maximize the available weight for weapons and equipment and features a gigantic LTV 385 XL engine, the largest that can possibly be carried by a 'Mech its size. The engine allows the scout 'Mech to outpace most other medium designs with a top speed of 118 kilometers per hour, though it lacks the added maneuverability that could be provided by jump jets. The Lightray carries ten and a half tons of Strasbourg Armaments Type 4 Ferro-Fibrous armor, giving the 'Mech a great deal of protection.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
The main weapon of the Lightray is its Tronel XIII Large Pulse Laser. Coupled with the Targeting Computer technology stolen from House Davion, this Word of Blake design is deadly accurate, even when moving at its top speed. The pair of Diverse Optics ER Medium Lasers and the Diverse Optics ER Small Laser add to the close-range damage the 'Mech can deal.[2]
Variants
- LGH-4Y
- This design was actually the original Lightray produced in 3064, designed before the Word of Blake ROM stole the Targeting Computer technology from House Davion. Instead of the TC, it used two SRM-2 packs and had a ton of ammunition. BV (1.0) = 1,067[4], BV (2.0) = 1,379[5]
- LGH-7W
- This version carries an Improved C3 Computer, Snub-Nose PPC, ER Medium Laser, and two MML-3 launchers in the left torso. To make room for these weapons, the 7W uses an XL Gyro. BV(2.0)=1,352[9]
