Following a new trend: A 6th OST Mech
« on: August 11, 2013, 10:52:37 AM »

I took a slightly different approach to the OST. I decided to feature one equipped with ACs as it's main weapon. It's introductory tech, so pardon the weakness of its weaponry. It's got 4 tons of ammo and jumping ability to make it a somewhat capable fight. Three medium lasers provide close-in back-up weaponry.

I see potential for Star Leauge tech in there. Royal version using Ultras or an Ultra and an LB X.  not bad for a Intro Tech Option

Plus, in the Jihad era it can take advantage of special ammunition and LACs. Using the weight savings to add armor and CASE.

BTW, can I have permission from the peanut gallery to be very smug for "Setting a trend."
