Technial Readout: 3055
"The Gauss cannon is so heavy that the designers
had to reduce the size of the original power plant to
compensate. The final design runs at a maximum speed of
86 kph, which severly limits the 'Mech's ability to pursue
other light 'Mechs and makes it difficult to mount an
effective retreat if outnumbered or in need of ammunition.
Space requirements limited ammo to sixteen shots for the
cannon, and weight limitations forced designers to remove
a medium laser from the design, so the 'Mech has no
backup weapon.
Initial specifications also called for six tons of
ferro-fibrous armor, giving the 'Mech very good coverage
for its weight. After mounting the Gauss cannon, the
designers found that the 'Mech could barely move and the
weapon had difficulty tracking. The engineers were forced
back to the drawing board again, and had to sacrifice
armor coverage on the torso and arms in order to afford full
articulation for the Gauss cannon."
[Editor's notes: A reduced powerplant "size" can mean
both speed and physical size, which I interpret as starting
with an XL engine at 6/9/0. The original ML is added
back, but ammo is cut to 1 ton - remember, this was a
flawed prototype. 6 tons of FF are present. 1/2 ton over;
ignores 1/4 ton rounding rule for XL engine and ES. No,
this isn't the Hollander II.]
