It was pointed out that the Corean Enterprises' CN9-A Centurion, with its very similar right arm and torso managed to carry a much more useful number of shells for the autocannon (although it also had a regrettable tendency to explode when shot in the right chest).Joint efforts by the two companies began in 3027 and progressed at a slow rate, with the project becoming a test bed for technologies being rediscovered. The completed Cavalier was presented to the AFFS in 3030 and orders followed almost immediately.Capabilities:Like both parent designs, the Cavalier is not especially fast. Instead it focuses upon battering opponents with firepower and taking a similar beating. With its long range weaponry, pilots have found the Cavalier well suited to commanding the battlefield but it suffers at close quarters where its limited mobility leaves it unable to avoid determined heavy and assault-weight machines.Battle History:The Cavalier has only recently seen action, in limited clashes against the DCMS during their succession crisis. On coming under fire from four Cavaliers, a lance of Panthers was so astounded at the firepower that they reported they were under fire by an entire company.Even once they were correctly identified the Cavalier caused the Galedon Regulars considerable difficulty. Late in the year, a company including eight Cavaliers managed to contain and ultimately break a charge by a DCMS heavy company. When all five of their Dragon 'Mechs were disabled, the samurai decided to redirect their offensive back towards their own lines.Deployment:Because of its advanced technology, the Cavalier has thus far been seen in only a few high profile units such as the Davion Guards.Variants:There are continuing attempts to fit the Cavalier with jump jets equivalent to those of the Enforcer. Thus far the only successful solution involves halving the size of both ammunition bins.================================================================================Equipment Type Rating Mass --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Internal Structure: Endo-Steel 83 points 2.50 Internal Locations: 1 HD, 3 LT, 4 RT, 1 LA, 1 RA, 2 LL, 2 RLEngine: XL Fusion Engine 200 4.50 Walking MP: 4 Running MP: 6 Jumping MP: 0 Heat Sinks: Double Heat Sink 10(20) 0.00 Heat Sink Locations: 2 LAGyro: Standard 2.00Cockpit: Standard 3.00 Actuators: L: SH+UA+LA R: SH+UA+LAArmor: Standard Armor AV - 160 10.00 Internal Armor Structure Factor Head 3 9 Center Torso 16 24 Center Torso (rear) 7 L/R Torso 12 18 L/R Torso (rear) 6 L/R Arm 8 16 L/R Leg 12 20 ================================================================================Equipment Location Heat Critical Mass --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Medium Laser CT 3 1 1.00(R) Medium Laser CT 3 1 1.00LRM-10 LT 4 2 5.00 Artemis IV FCS LT - 1 1.00LB 10-X AC RA 2 6 11.00ER Large Laser LA 12 2 5.00@LRM-10 (Artemis) (24) RT - 2 2.00@LB 10-X (Slug) (10) RA - 1 1.00@LB 10-X (Cluster) (10) RA - 1 1.00 Free Critical Slots: 6BattleForce StatisticsMV S (+0) M (+2) L (+4) E (+6) Wt.

If it's got art, its in! Saves me doing more art for it.Though ATM the CVL-3R would only be a prototype, due to your current tech level. Nice though, feel free to put it into production once the L2 comes on line.
