OVERVIEW
The Ti Ts'ang, heavy 'Mech of choice in the Cappella Confederation, is currently undergoing testing to determine its suitability for Stealth armour. Initial results are not impressive.
CAPABILITIES
It is unfortunate that in order to give the Ti Ts'ang Stealth capability, designers had to sacrifice the 'Mech’s greatest asset: speed. The Stealth Armour features of the Ti Ts'ang forced engineers to downsize the Ti Ts'ang’s engine, resulting in a lower top speed and reduced Jump capacity. However, the design team was able to improve the Ti Ts'ang’s weapons array, equipping it with an ER Large Laser and a back-up weapons pack consisting of five ER Medium Lasers. They also retained the Triple Strength Myomers and Tag unit of the original.
DEPLOYMENT
The Ti Ts'ang is still undergoing testing on Sian.
MY BLURB
Ack. To mount Stealth gear, it had to come down from 6/9/6 to 5/8/5. This is not so bad in terms of Targeting modifiers; Whether you move 8 or 9 hexes, it’s still +3, and there is still the +3 modifier for Jumping. It is more difficult to hit with the Stealth gear, but you may not e able to close in swifttly enough to use the Hatchet. Still, it’s not too bad.

COST ANALYSIS
At 1,602 BV and 14,431,680 C-Bills, the BV is not significantly more than the standard and is, in fact, cheaper to ‘build’ than either of the variants from RS: 3060.
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.
