Desert TigerThe last of the 'they grew bigger' Scorpion Omnis. Original design was 55-tons, but was remarkably similar to the Stormcrow (which raised some folks displeasure). So, since going to 60-tons (and moving from medium- to heavy-weight) costs us ZERO pod-space . . . well, let's get cracking.
Internal structure increased by 8 (99 vs. original 91) and armor increased by 19 (201 vs. original 182). We kept getting more and more protection by making 'em bigger, don't we?
Movement stays at 6/9/x with 10 integral DHS and 23 tons of pod-space, but the configurations have changed just a bit.
Prime: ER Large Laser (RA), 3 ER Medium Laser (LT), 2 AP Gauss Rifle (LT; 40 RT), AMS (LT, 24 LT), Streak SRM-4 (LA; 25 LA), LRM-15 w/Artemis IV (RT, 24 RT), Targeting Comp (RT), 10 DHS (with max heat of 40 vs. 20 dissipated). This one requires one to use bracket fire, but within the brackets (ER-LL/LRM at range is 17+movement; ER-ML/SSRM-4/APG in close is 20+movement) the weapons fit nicely. It's a 6/9/0 Thunderbolt IIC!
A: ER Large Laser (RA), ER Large Laser (LA), ER Medium Laser (RT), ER Medium Laser (LT), ER Small Laser (RT), ER Small Laser (LT), AP Gauss Rifle (RT), AP Gauss Rifle (LT; 40 HD), Streak SRM-6 (LT; 15 LT), Targeting Comp (RT), 13 DHS (with max heat of 46 vs. 26 dissipated). Gotta watch those brackets, fellows! At range, twin ER-LLs for 24+movement; in close the rest does 24+movement if the Streaks lock. It's a 6/9/0 Warhammer IIC!
B: LRM-20 w/Artemis IV (RA; 6 RA; 12 RT), LRM-20 w/Artemis IV (LA; 6 LA; 12 LT), ER Medium Laser (LT), ER Medium Laser (RT), Targeting Comp (RT), 12 DHS (with max heat of 24 vs. 24 dissipated). It's a 6/9/0 Archer IIC!
C: ER Large Laser (RA), ER Large Laser (LA), LB-5X AC (LT; 40 LT), Targeting Comp (RT), 13 DHS (with max heat of 27 vs. 26 dissipated). It's a 6/9/0 Marauder IIC!
D: 6 Jump Jets (3 RT, 3 LT), ER Medium Laser (RA), ER Medium Laser (LA), ER Medium Laser (LT), AMS (HD, 24 LT), LRM-10 w/Artemis IV (RT, 24 RT), Streak SRM-4 (LT, 25 LT), ECM Suite (LT), Targeting Comp (RT), 12 DHS (with max heat of 29 vs. 24 dissipation). It's a 6/9/6 Quickdraw IIC!
E: 6 Jump Jets (3 RT, 3 LT), ER Large Laser (RA), ER Medium Laser (LA), ER Medium Laser (HD), ER Medium Laser (LT), ER Medium Laser (RT), Targeting Comp (RT), 17 DHS (with max heat of 38 vs. 34 dissipation). It's a 6/9/6 Grasshopper IIC!
F: ER Large Laser (RT), ER Large Laser (LT), ER Medium Laser (RA), ER Medium Laser (RT), ER Medium Laser (LA), ER Medium Laser (LT), Targeting Comp (RT), 20 DHS (with max heat of 51 vs. 40 dissipation). Gotta watch those Alpha Strikes, but in close use four ER-ML and the ER-LL and you are golden! It's a 6/9/0 Ostsol IIC!
G: Arrow IV (LA/LT; 20 LT; 5 RT), ER Large Laser (RA), ER Medium Laser (RT), Targeting Comp (RT), 10 DHs (with max heat of 29 vs. 20 dissipation . . . but you REALLY SHOULD NOT be using the Arrow IV and your other weapons at the same time).
Good firepower, good speed, as-good-as-you-can-get armor on a 60-ton chassis . . . what more do you want in a 'Mech?
EDIT: and just because someone complained that none of the configs match the picture . . . Config H!
H: ER PPC (RA), LRM-10 w/Artemis IV (RT; 24 RT), Streak SRM-6 (LT, 15 LT), Active Probe (LT), ECM Suite (LT), AMS (HD, 24 LT), TAG (LA), Targeting Comp (RT), 11 DHS (with max heat of 26 vs. 22 dissipation). A hard-hitting scout/spotter from HELL.
