Thunderbolt is supposed to provide cover for mech retreating and loading into the Dread Pirate dropship. GZT has produced one squadron of the fighter, then retooled the assemply line in anticipation of a secret project (I hear it's a LAM!!!) I am not married to the name, as I know the possibilty exists for a canon fighter to exist with the same name. I also like ThunderCracker. You know, like ThunderCracker, Skywarp, and StarScream of Transformer fame. I'm a geek, I know. Here are the basic stats. Let me know what you think. I am sure I have broken some rules in the creation. If so, PLEASE let me know, so I can fix it. Midnight with just the book from Aerotech 1st edition and the Battle Tech compendium is not the best combination.
Thunderbolt
75 tons
thrust 7
overthrust 11
14 tons standard armor (224)
15 double heatsinks (is this allowed?)
375 XL fusion(is XL allowed?)
nose mounted Ultra AC/10 w/3tons of ammo(30rounds)
4 medium lasers RW
4 medium lasers LW
cockpit-14 points of armor
nose-60
RW/LW-35
Fuselage-67
Engine-23
I am sure I left somethings out, but that is the basic idea. I want it specifically to provide quick strafing cover for tight situations that require my mechs to pull out sooner than expected. I know the Ultra10 is not the best choice of weapons, but having it in the nose made me think of the A10 Warthog flown in the US military and it's cannon firing depleted uranium shells.

Sweet! Now I just need to write some fluff for it. Can I reference you Rudel? As a design consultant? And if so, which unit or affiliation should I include.

The weapon mix reminds me of Slayer (not that bad thing)
