The Purifier STs are really awesome for the Kit-Fox. Lagging behind with the meta, the Purifier STs made the Kit-Fox less suck versus other faster lights. However confounded by Paywall, this is just sad.

However i realized that Kit-Fox could be a lot more awesome if it has more torso hardpoints. So here's other custom variants.

The Kit Fox J is another indirect fire support variant build from the ground up, serving as a flanking light accompanying the lance. For flexibility, it has four Jump Jets. It mounts dual ATM3 racks capable of participating at diverse variety of engagement, one on each side-torso. On the right-arm is a single Heavy Large Lasers meant to complement the Advance Tactical Missiles. A NARC Beacon to keep track of the targets, and then a pair of Light Machine Guns for mowing down infantry.

The Kit Fox P sports an SRM6 and an ER PPC on the right arm, capable of dishing out considerable damage when fired together. But the ER PPC is capable of high amount of damage at a very long range. On the left arm is a pair of ER-Medium Laser. Each side-torso mounts a Machine Gun for point-defense and infantry. A total of 14 double heat-sinks keeps the mech cool.

Sarna has the Kit Fox G closest to the configuration of the Kit Fox J, I am only unsure of whether the LRM10s are situated at the torso, or rather the ears. Also there's an ECM on the left arm, so i think it would be a considerable Omnipod option by putting the ECM on the left and make use of the right arm for it's better hardpoint.

As for Kit Fox P, it's basically just a Refitted KFX-S, but without the locked JJ on the STs. The problem is that the locked JJ on the S STs limit the option for ballistics. With the P-LT and RT, you can now mount two UAC2s, or an LB10X.

Purifier is awesome mech, different role than fast lights and have to agree that it is sad that omnipods that make kitfox awesome are behind paywall.

But this lack of side torso hardpoint issue isn't kitfox problem its problem for many omnimechs and even battlemechs.

In my mind the KitFox always had misiles in the ST, the only reason it doesnt relay have ST hardpoints is to make you pay money for them.

Chance of getting some non-hero custom mech variants are rather slim, but chances of getting old mechs with new tech variants like Kit Fox E, F, H, etc. are possibly huge. And Purifier outside few unique builds is just normal Kit Fox.

Still, in BT Kit Fox just like Adder or Nova had torso completely locked out, no twisting.

Damn, that looks a lot better than the missile arms we have now.

I'd really like two UAC2 highmounts on the Kit-Fox, maybe it would have a niche there without the Purifier's pay-walled optimization. Unfortunately the LT-S has one buzz-kill jump-jet.
