Description
The Vision Quest was created by Clan Nova Cat to honor the memory of Khan Sandra Rosse and the future she foresaw for both the Nova Cats and Kerensky's Clans as a whole.
It was was a rather mundane 'Mech, though. More attention was paid to its symbolic worth than its value on the battlefield. Still, the Vision Quest was a solid workhorse which could easily anchor a defensive line or backstop an aggressive charge.[1]
Weapons and Equipment
The Vision Quest was built around an Improved Gauss Rifle, two newly developed Clan ER Large Lasers and three Medium Pulse Lasers.[1]
Design Quirks
The Vision Quest has the following Design Quirks:[2]
Variants
- Vision Quest
- Only four years after its introduction, the Vision Quest was retooled to Clan tech standards, boosting its armor and swapping out the improved Gauss rifle for a Class-20 Ultra autocannon[1]. BV (2.0) = 2,458[3]
- Vision Quest 2
- A joint effort with Clan Snow Raven, this version restored the Gauss Rifle to clan standard specifics and trades the pulse lasers for ER small lasers, increasing the Heat Sinks to thirteenth and adding a Targeting Computer.[1]. BV (2.0) = 2,556[4]
