Ah, indeed, that would be my bad, I'm more familiar with the standard version XD
Only downside is that it is a ground mobile suit so usage in space, while possible, would be [url=https://www.facebook.com/GundamFlexing/videos/1460252470755885/]difficult[/url]. If you use it as an Empire player I can see your character assigned from border duties to the scavenging teams, mostly sticking around the launch vehicles and using its armaments as a turret in space almost. Colony-used it would make sense to be a defense mobile suit.

You'll be able to find space conversion kits during scavenging though.

It can be or not, your choice. I will allow for characters to repaint their units so completely possible.
