Well [@SirBeowulf], any friend of Harby's is a friend of mine. Anyway, as for character feedback: I can appreciate a hot-headed lunatic. Sterling before I changed him around had the callsign "Psycho" and looked something like..

Anyway, I trust you'll keep the assholery and insanity to a reasonable amount, yeah? Characters aren't superhuman, and if you make him bite off more than he can chew, he [i]will[/i] get hurt. Its a bit of a stretch to go from infantry to a piloting gig, but its his thing, and he's been around for a while, so I'll let it slide. 

Regarding his MAS, is it a prototype, or a custom? Has he built this thing from scratch? Or did he pick up an old mech and refurbished it? Also, keep in mind that while he can work on it on his own if he wants, he [i]will[/i] have an engineering crew assigned to it, because taking care of a machine all by yourself is going to be a big job. 

As for its speed, while it can keep up with a Medium class, it probably wont be able to match most Mediums in regard to speed/some maneuverability. The distinction between Medium and Heavy is a lot bigger than Medium and Light. Even with its Tesla Drive, it won't be able to fly, it will have limited flight capacity though- meaning it can hover over the ground instead of walk to propel itself forward while in atmosphere, and can 'jump' higher and further than normal. 

I do like the fact that you decided to add your own system, and gave it reasonable balancing as well, but I will bump its power requirement up to 3. That being said, you may have miscounted your remaining power. With dexterity system costing 3 power, you should have 5 power units remaining, or 10 hours of operation.

Lastly, regarding weapons and their ammunition counts, Where does the shoulder launcher store the extra rockets? -and since they are defined as 'rockets', are they dumbfire/unguided? Are they meant to take on MAS? Buildings? Ships? All of the above? For the Surface to Air missiles, I assume there are only 4 of them? Describe the strength for these as well, are they intended to take out Light MAS's? etc. And then for the gatling weapon I'll just need a caliber and magazine size. 30mm is the UEE standard round-(which is pretty fucking big), and I'd say 750-1000 rounds would give you about 30-40 seconds of sustained fire.

In conclusion: I'm really liking Shanks and his machine, just gotta iron out some details before I give it the A. That is, A for accepted.
