It's such a good mech, there should be more. Possibly even a Clan IIC version. Kick up the tonnage to 55 tons. Go with the same build I have for the 1X - ER PPC, 3HMG, SSRM6, ML, but bump them up to clan versions. Use the extra tonnage for 4 more heat sinks, 4 more jump jets, ECM, add a LRM10 with a ton of ammo, and then just additional armor and big XL350 engine. Basically the jump jetting version of the black lanner, except the speed is almost the same, has better armor, and better cooling. (I don't like the lanner; it's fast, but it's entirely too big and runs hot for what it's trying to do).

  • They aren't just going to add a non-lore mech because you asked, and there has to be good reason to do it. They also won't just up the tonnage without adding something to the model or upscaling it.
  • You described something that is not even a Vindicator
  • Your build is rough
  • Outside the LRM10, there is already a 55 tonner that can do your build, it's called the Vapor Eagle Rival
  • We are getting a new Vindicator with the loyalty rewards and it's actually a Vindicator that has been asked for for a while because it gives it some much nicer hardpoints.

Quicksilver is right.

If so, I would rather to see VND-4L due to being a Stealth variant (can use all the equipment roster from the game).
