A decent Level 1 machine. The only thing it's missing is Jump Jets.

Good work.

Yeah, jump jets would be a good thing to shoehorn in.  Offhand teh best way I can see to do it is to drop the twin LRM-10s for a single LRM-15.  That gives enough tonnage for the jets.

But then again these people like their ten racks for some reason :)

That and that is what they have manufacturing for.  Yes it wouldnt be that hard to make the other sizes but sometimes you just can't afford to take the time to stop the presses.  Hell they've even got Blackjacks with LRM-10s in place of the AC-2s.

Nice firepower even if I first thought that it might need a little more punch but after looking a little more at it, the twin LRM-10 coupled with the other weapons are more than enough.
