We can do with another one, perhaps a close to mid range fighter instead of a CQB emphasis. The entire squadron itself is about 12 pilots, 6-7 of which will be player pilots, and the rest being NPCs. The NPC roles can be swapped around as needed.

Also, [@Deadnaut], as of now your current machine is:

[B]Description: [/B]
[COLOR=#99ccff]A heavily customized Sparrow-B unit flown by former 7th MAS Team leader Tori Astelion, the unit was reclaimed and redesignated 'Astelion' following her death. Customized to reach top speeds over that of a standard Sparrow, as well as doubling its maneuvering capabilities, the versatile Astelion performs adequately at all engagement ranges, with an emphasis on movement speed.[/COLOR]
 
[B]Systems: [/B]
[COLOR=#99ccff][B]Improved Reactor Output. 3 WT +5 PWR[/b][/color] - A high end customization used by pilots. Using efficient parts and techniques, this upgrade allows MAS's to add an additional +5 PWR to their generator output. However, this improved reactor requires pilots to reduce the load on their units to prevent damage to the MAS, and costs 3 WT
[COLOR=#99ccff][B]X-50 Plasma Booster. 7 WT 11 PWR.[/B][/COLOR] - A plasma-based weapon mounted on the Astelion's shoulders, custom designed by Tori Astelion herself, the X-50 is a dual purpose plasma weapon and booster unit. Enabling rapid acceleration, the X-50 allows the Astelion to reach its Mach 1 maneuvering speed in seconds, and allows for a maximum speed of 1250 mph. As a weapon, it fires twin blasts of deadly plasma bolts from its orange 'capacitors', which open to reveal its weapon barrels. The Astelion cannot fire the X-50 and use it to maneuver at the same time.
[COLOR=#99ccff][B]'Cyclops' Point Defense Laser 0 WT 2 PWR.[/B][/COLOR] - Functioning as the Astelion's 'eyes' the Cyclops serves as a multi purpose camera feed interface, as well as a powerful point defense laser, providing it with anti-personnel and missile defense.
[COLOR=#99ccff][B]Triple barreled Arm Autocannon 1 WT 0 PWR.[/B][/COLOR] - An arm mounted three-barreled autocannon firing 30mm Armor Piercing rounds from an internal 480 round magazine and a 900 rounds per minute rate of fire.
[COLOR=#99ccff][B]Countermeasure System. 0 WT 0 Power.[/B][/COLOR] - The Astelion relies on a combination of speed, maneuverability, and countermeasures to avoid missiles.
[B][COLOR=#99ccff]Forearm/knee Daggers. 1 WT 0 PWR[/COLOR][/B] - A pair of small blades extending from the Astelion's forearms and shins to give it melee potential. Custom tailored to have serrated straight edges by Astelion.
[COLOR=#99ccff][B]Class 1 Shield Generator. 3 WT 3 PWR.[/B][/COLOR] - A small shield generator provides the Sparrow with the minimum military grade defense system.

Looks good to me! Sorry I didn't notice the earlier query as to my preferences, but if it helps rapid attack is definitely something I favor, both it and medium attack style MAS suits are probably what I will stray towards.

As for the rules, I did read and tried to mention something about Wes when I realized I'd forgotten to in my CS post itself.
