The European Union, like the rest of the nations of Earth, is far less technologically advanced than the Luna Consortium. They lack the technology to build the high caliber lasers and long range PPC technology that arms most of the LC mechs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESR-1 Earthstrike
Chassis: Unknown
Power Plant: Unknown 360 XL
Cruising Speed: 43
Maximum Speed: 64.5
Jump Jets: Unknown
Jump Capacity: 90 meters
Armor: Unknown with CASE
Armament:
2 Ultra AC/5s
2 Small Lasers
3 Medium Pulse Lasers
4 Machine Guns
1 ER PPC
Manufacturer: Unknown
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: Unknown
Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown with Beagle Active Probe
Overview:
The ESR-1 Earthstrike was originally developed by the Luna
Consortium, but the design was stolen by the European Union long
before it could be developed as an effective weapon. Instead of
trying to develop the design further, the LC let the technologically
inferior nation have it and began work on other designs.
Capabilities:
Compared to the mechs of the LC, this mech is rather weak, but it
is much more capable than any of the designs furnished by any Terran
Nation. It is intended primarily for defense, since any Terran
nation hasnt been able to mount a significant offensive in over 50
years.
The mech is armed mostly with Autocannons since the European
Union lacks the technology to build anything but the most rudimentary
PPCs and lasers. This requires it to stay close to lines of supply
in order to keep its dual primary Ultra-Class Autocannons fully
stocked.
Deployment:
Most of the EarthStrikes are deployed in the British 52nd
Division(Highlanders), which is deployed in the New Paris region. A
few have found there way into other Mech units, and there are rumors
that a Swiss Merc group managed to construct one from salvage.[HARD
RETURN]The first lances of the mech were delivered in 2275.
Battle History:
Shortly after delivery in 2275, the 52nd(Highlanders) was
attacked near the outskirts of New Paris. Unaware that they fielded
a new mech design, the 3rd Regiment of the Terran Corps ran head
first into a company of the new Earthstrikes and their dual
Ultra-Autocannons. These weapons ripped the Terran Corp mechs to
shreds until their ammo ran out, forcing them to retreat to resupply.
Although the 52nd was eventually forces to pull back, the 3rd
Regiment took heavy casualties and was unable to continue their
offensive action.
Known Variants:
There are no known variants of the Earthstrike.

I don't lnow that I would want to use it on a regular BT game (too much ammo and not enough long range firepower) but this mech would be a flat-out bitch to face in the Solaris 7 boxed set rules.
Does not play well with others.

I am not going to tell you how to design mechs to fit your universe, but would a standard level 1 PPC be the most rudimentary? It makes more sense if they have inferior technology (PPC 10 dmg 10 heat, 18 rng), discover and develope an energy weapon with greater range (IS PPC 10 dmg 15 heat 23 rng), then build the most sophisticated (Clan ER PPC 15 dmg, 15 heat 23 rng).
I like the idea though

Thanx for pointing that out. I didnt even realize that I had used a Clan ER PPC instead of the level 1 IS PPC.
I have fixed the mech. Here is the updated model.
