Providing a handy lance reference now: [list] [*]Lott: [url=http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Phoenix_Hawk]Phoenix Hawk[/url] 1b "Special" (45t, 90kph max speed) - A Star League era design that can now be produced once more. Referred to as the Phoenix Hawk "Special," the 1b was introduced in 2760 for the Star League's Royal units. It utilized an XL Engine as well as Endo Steel for its chassis, which allowed the designers to upgrade its weaponry. The pistol-like laser was upgraded to an ER PPC, while a swivel-mounted ER Large Laser found its way onto the right torso. Replacing the ten standard heat sinks with Double heat sinks kept these high-heat weapons from overwhelming the 'Mech. A Guardian ECM Suite in the center torso improved the 1b's defense, while moving the machine gun ammunition to the left torso and adding CASE virtually ensured that the MechWarrior would survive an ammunition explosion. [*]Staudinger: [url=http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Catapult]Catapult[/url]-C4C (65t, 60kph max speed) - An upgrade to the original C4 model, conventional C4C units have replaced their conventional engines with an extralight model, their two small lasers with a light pulse laser, heavy laser and beagle probe thanks to the freed up tonnage from the upgraded engine, while the LRM-15's have been upgraded to LRM-20's with twice as much ammo than the old LRM-15's carried. This increased its overall performance at long range by notable degrees, despite its weakened close combat capabilities. The Staudinger family could not leave well enough alone, and have further modified the C4C and have taken to referring to it as the C4S, instead. C4S Modifications - Ditching the heavy laser completely, the freed up weight utilizes an installed Artemis IV Targeting system for the LRM-20's. This increases direct fire accuracy by a notable margin, coupled with the Beagle Active Probe from the conventional C4C model, makes a theoretically terrifying hunter-killer model of the Catapult, able to pick out targets through active electronics interference at long range, and provide improved munitions fired to munitions effective ratio. The most glaring downside to the C4S variant the Staudinger family is attempting to pioneer is its relatively laughable close range defenses of a solitary light pulse laser. However, the Catapult did receive the retrofit upgrade from the Anderson Propulsion 21 jumpjets, known for their tendency to break down suddenly and overheat the Mech due to poor venting, to the 25 series which addressed these deficiencies. [*]Mattlov: [url=http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Cicada]Cicada[/url]-3M (40t, 120kph max speed) - This particular one made its way from Solaris to NAIS where it has since been put through its paces repeatedly. This particular one has an endo-steel structure and adds a Beagle Active Probe and a half-ton of UAC ammunition. [*]Reynard: [url=http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Wolverine_(BattleMech)]Wolverine[/url]-7D (55t, 80kph/108kph (MASC) max speed) - The 7D variant of the Wolverine is a major upgrade to the design introduced in 3050 by the Federated Suns' new Nanking factory. The standard engine on the 'Mech was replaced with a Nissan 275 XL version and the armor has been upgraded to Kallon Unity Weave Ferro-Fibrous material with an extra half-ton added. To increase the Wolverine's speed, MASC has been added, allowing it to move up to 108 km/h in bursts. Finally, the weapons payload has been upgraded as well. The autocannon has been upgraded to a General Motors Nova-5 Ultra Autocannon/5 and the medium laser is now a Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Laser. The design retains its jumping capability, as well as the SRM-6, although CASE now protects the SRM reloads. [/list]
