Yeah, I made something like that before.
Might've posted it on CBT-Fora, don't remember for sure.

Who hasn't?

In the AOL Battletech chat back in the day, we called it the Bat Out Of Hell.

Thanks to a quirk in the old (maximum tech) BV system, I made a 'Mech with negative BV once. That was fun.

You know, if you use the advanced movement rules for sprinting in Tactical Operations, you can get that puppy to go 842.4 kilometers per hour...

[Alizabeth Aijou]

Ah yeah, sprinting, forgot about that.

I wanted to see what a medium "super Raven" would be like given that information warfare is highlighted for MWO and i eanted survivability.

Overview:
In the late 2020's it was decided to try and come up with an alternative to the
Raven. Aftre looking at the amount of equipment to be carried it was realised
that in order to improve armour and weapons it would be necessary to go up a
class to a medium mech. With 7 tons of armour it has almost twice the
protection of the Raven. The recently re-discoverd extended range Large laser
gave it some long range punch, while the 4 Medium Lasers gave it close range
protection.Most of the heat produced being handled by doule heat sinks

The TAG and Narc systems mean that it can act as a spotter and targetter for
fire support, while the AMS gives it some protection for itself against missile
fire. It also has a better turn of speed than many mechs of it's class,
although wight constraints mean that jump jets could not be fitted. Only just
entering production it is too early to say wether the compromises are effective
or not.

Overview:
Looking to utilise the Narc Beacon and Artemis IV fire control system with a
heavy fire support mech that had more firepower than the venerable Catapult
lead to the inevitable discovery, it just wasn't possible within the weight
constraints. It was decided to more than double the firepower with the addition
of a pair of Artemis IV equiped LRM20's in adition to the pair of upgraded
LRM15's. The result was an assault fire support mech with reasonable speed and
the same backup firepower as a catapult and the ability to seriously damage
other assaults that had been targetd by it's spotter - it was designed to work
with the Range rmedium scout mech using Narc beacons. Unfortunately all this
comes at a cost, although it comes with twice the firepower of a Catapult it
costs 4 times as much. It does however come with enough ammunition for an
extended engagement, although careful heat management will be needed as it was
just not possible to fit enough heat sinks to dissipate all the heat generated.
