A multi-role fighter, designed to teach new players about range and heat management, while letting them try out 4 different weapon types. Sacrifices a little speed for a huge punch.
At long range: Snipe with the ER Large Laser, and support with the LRM-15
At short range: AC/20 + 2 Medium Lasers give great DPS
A lot of subtle perks that make this 'mech trial-friendly:
- AMS sound helps warn the player of incoming missiles
- Standard engine for durability
- Added some LRMs so new players can try the cool fire support mechanics
- Reduced speed keeps them from getting too far out in front
- 3 laser weapons (one of them arm-mounted) for killing light 'mechs
These two weapon sets can be used independently for more heat-efficient DPS, or fired close together when you're desperate for a wicked alpha strike!
