Overview:
To make their pitch for the 75 ton category, the Diamond Sharks drew heavily on
their team already working on the Mad Cat Mk II project. Unsurprisingly, their
design owes a great deal both to the under-development assault 'Mech as well as
Clan Wolf's infamously successful Timber Wolf.
Capabilities:
The Maverick is structured almost identically to the Timber Wolf with
ferrofibrous armour wrapped around an endo-steel structure. The engine at the
centre is the ubitquious 300 standard, produced throughout the Clans (and even
by the Inner Sphere). This leaves a full 34 tons space for weapons and other
equipment.
The primary configuration uses the same over-under arrangement of large and
medium lasers as the Timber Wolf or Mad Dog but adds enough heatsinks to make
this sustainable even with support from the LRM racks in the shoulders. Another
laser in the torso remains in reserve for once ammunition runs out.
The Maverick A owes more to the classic Marauder with an energy weapon in each
arm - in this case pulse lasers - and a ballistic weapon in one side-torso. In
addition to the Gauss Rifle, the A has a small SRM rack. Jump-capable, the
Maverick A can handle most terrain.
Perhaps paralleling the Timber Wolf A, the Maverick B pairs Extended Range PPCs
with Streak SRMs. The addition of a targeting computer allows the B to
concentrate PPC fire with ease.
The Maverick C is the missile platform with four artemis-enhanced LRM
launchers, each with two full tons of ammuntion. In the event the missiles run
out, the 'Mech can close in with five medium lasers.
Clearly inspired by the Mad Dog D, the Maverick sports a pair of Gauss Rifles.
Supporting this are four medium lasers, resulting in a heat-efficient long and
medium-range combatant.
