I know this may be a bit of an odd duck to add, but the Komodo would likely be a good contender, and more importantly, an IS response to the Nova. I don't think the Nova's super overpowered or something, but the IS has been hurting for an equivalent for a long time.

Standard variant of Komodo, as a battlemech, would have 11 Energy Hardpoints, 1 ECM Hardpoint, and 2 AMS Hardpoints, and it weighs five tons less than the Nova despite moving at the same speed. And before you mention it outclassing the Nova, it's still using inferior IS tech. And the IS doesn't have many decent ECM boats to start with.

Always wonder what that mech was, but I knew I drew one my own mech designs after it following the whole mass laser on a weird mech(I did not rip off it just inspired by it.), after reading this I find the mech just lacking in variety since it just varying degrees on lasers. But it can be a nice brawling mech for scouting.

Sure, why not? IS doesn't have 10+ energy boats, and Komodo is only 45 tons of weight.
