Just me fooling around with it to see what I could come up with.

On one hand, it's got plenty of firepower (including a full six front-firing medium lasers) and near-maximum armor.

On the other hand, every last internal slot on the machine is spoken for; if an armor breach does occur, then *something* is getting hit. This could potentially include the mech's XL engine.

Well, you don't cram that much into a 60 tonner and have room left over. But I like it. always did like the old Quickdraw series for it's speed. but one with that much firepower and near max armor is a winner in my book. nicely done

Fluff:

==Overview==

The Inner Sphere was justifiably surprised when the Armed Forces of New Nauvoo appeared on the scene at the head of the New Terran Hegemony. After all, here we had an isolated region on a planet that was regarded as all but dead (Caph) that roared forward with surprising might, might that included brand-new machines that were once believed to have died with the Star League. That their soldiers were every bit as skilled and determined as they were technologically fortunate was another critical edge in their factor.

Perhaps more surprising, though, was the fact that the vast majority of their might existed only on paper, a discovery that was first made when they began to conduct joint operations with other units. It turns out that while the AFNN has manufacturing capability of its own, its small size limits what it can actually put out. In other words, the reason why individual machines are so powerful is because each machine has to do the work of two or three others, if not more.

And this goes not just for mechs of their own manufacture, but for mechs that are captured or purchased by them. Said mechs are often extensively refitted, with trial-and-error determining the most successful refit packages. It was in this fashion that the 6D Quickdraw came about.

The design originated with Major Victor Arcane, commander of the 139th Combined Arms Company. On paper, the unit consists of a full company of mechs with cavalry and infantry support. In reality, the unit actually consists of Maj. Arcane's Quickdraw (which he captured during a covert op), an AFNN-mod Stinger, a tracked APC, three infantry troopers, two medics, and a technician in addition to several trained military animals. Plus an MP if Major Arcane's wife can find a babysitter while she's in the field with him.

Despite being clearly understrength, the company is still assigned force recon and combat patrol duties on par with what one would assign a full-strength unit to. It was from this that Maj. Arcane pieced together what would become the standard modification for Quickdraws captured in the field. By tinkering with the weapons, heat sinks, and other items on the mech, Maj. Arcane was able to give it the firepower of a much heavier mech without compromising the speed and jump capability that the mech needed to fulfill its job.
