No docking ring or jump drive, so have to ask if this is legal. Monitor come to mind.
Not sure if it would be worth using the piranha missiles as you only have 10 shots. 100 tons for just that. Though the scl/2 is nice.
The lack of any other weapons makes this more of a liability then an asset.
Maybe a defense satellite might be better then a warship.

It's a dropship, not a warship.

So this is a pocket ship or is it a just a gunboat?

It's a dropship that's intended to be part of a planetary defense network, basically the smallest way possible to bring sub-capital weapons to the fight. It's under 500 tons, so small enough that it can evade Capital-scale and other sub-capital scale weaponry pretty well. Deployed in a swarm from a planet along with regular Aerospace fighters to knock out small craft and such.
Rather expensive though. Dropship cost multipliers are weird.

Guessing part of the weird multipliers is the fact the take off and land on worlds so need to work in all environments.
I am going to assume this is a aerodyne craft, as it isn't stated as such. The armor placement is the only clue on that. Part of megamek not putting out all the data.
And I realized the dropship not warship, and just did not process it properly while doing the last post.
Since I don't have access to the latest weapons, wouldn't this be better as a ground battery instead of a ship?
And no. I am not up to date on weapons firing on ships in space that are ground mounted.

Spheroid, actually. Edit time expired. My bad.

Ok. I thought spheroids had front and rear side arcs.
Or am I missing something there?
Otherwise, it looks to work, though not sure if it's worth the cost.

Right, they do. The LAMS on the sides should be in the Front Left and Front Right arcs, respectively.
