Overview:

Technical Readout: 3055

"The final product performs its intended mission well, at least in simulation. Weight limitations forced designers to remove the Snake's only backup weapon, a medium laser mounted in the head. The reliance on ammunition this creates may seem a serious limitation, but is expected to actually improve the Snake's overall survivability. Pilots will be forced to retreat to friendly lines when their ammo is expended, rather than staying and fighting with only a single small weapon."

[Editor's notes: Easy - delete the useless 11th heat sink, add a ML in the head.]
