For those of you wondering what the Javelin has to offer, here a list of all the variants and their basic loadout. I believe with good hardpoints and quirks the Javelin is capable of being a good lighthunter (SSRM2) or tank buster (SRM4/6) although not as good as an Oxide at that. Further there exists an ECM version although without JJ. Although lacking 5t the 10F can be used as mini Venom. I'd like to see it in game at some point! Also interested what Alex would make of the head: could be awesome!

JVN-10N => 30T, 4T/61% Standard Armor, Standard Structure, 10xSHS, STD 180 (97.2 / 106.9kph), 6JJ, 2xSRM6, 2751

I'll borrow this one from Bishop Steiner, so all praise goes to him:

I've long thought that the two most likely upcoming IS lights are the Javelin and the Mongoose. I figure the Mongoose will be saved for a ComGuard Pack of some kind, but the Javelin would make a wonderful addition to IS light rosters.

The thing already looks good, and after Alex gets his hands on it I'm sure it'll be turning heads.

Plus, the available canon variants offer a good variety of solid build paths, including another ECM option, as well as dedicated missile carriers, dedicated laser carriers, and mixed loadouts. Though some of the more advanced variants are a few years out in the timeline, PGI probably wouldn't find them too out of place, especially since they don't carry anything that isn't already available. They're just upgrade models of existing variants.

Ideally, we'd see something like the following:

JVN-10N, 6x Missile Hardpoints, 5x JJs available (3 stock). Quirks for SRMs and missiles generally. [I'd enjoy a build with 6x SRM2s I think]

JVN-11A, 7x Energy Hardpoints, 3x JJs. Quirks for MLs, generic laser burn time, and reduced energy heat generation.

JVN-11B, 4x Missile Hardpoints, no JJs, ECM Hardpoint. Limited quirks for SRM4s.
