So, from what I read of the May Roadmap, we'll be getting the CTF-0X in the gift store on May 19th.

From what I recall...this is the Cataphract variant that carries ECM.

Thoughts?

  The Confederation experimented with a Cataphract variant carrying the Electronic Warfare Equipment that was mounted on the Raven which was being designed around the same time. It was equipped with a single PPC and Autocannon/5, as well as two arm mounted Medium Lasers, the EW equipment, and a Remote Sensor Dispenser on the rear center torso. A single shipment of CTF-0X prototypes was sent to Sian but line production did not commence afterwards because a request for more EW components was denied.^[9]

A Liao prototype of the Cataphract that never reached production. There are two pieces of equipment on it we don't have: EW Equipment, and a Remote Sensor Dispenser.
As the EW Equipment performs the role of both BAP and ECM, it's easy enough to slap in both in its place. The Dispenser... will probably just be removed. Which leaves 5 tons unused. I imagine they'll pump the armor/engine/sinks to fill the mass, like they did with the Wang and mechs with A-pods.

-edit- Got somewhat sniped.

Maybe a NARC? I guess that would give it a Missile hardpoint, if that were the case.

I'm guessing stock will look similar to this, with 1.5 tons unallocated for the torso-mounted ECM.

CTF-0X

Hardpoints will probably be 2E in each arm and 1B (or maybe 2) in the RT.

Since EW Equipment does the job of both ECM and BAP, chances are it'll have both ECM and BAP.
