================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Panther has been a solid and rugged workhorse for the Draconis Combine. When the Great
    Houses recovered lost technology they quickly applied it to their existing designs. Then
    they started to apply it to designs they produced. Now given time they can utilize the older
    designs to their full potential. The PNT-11X was one of the designs for the venerable
    Panther commissioned by House Kurita. Unfortunately it's production has been fvorstalled by
    the full scale production of Kurita's omnimechs. The designers are currently seeking a buyer
    for the design. Draconis agents are keeping an eye on prospective buyers to ensure the
    design remains in the Combine.

Capabilities:
    Speeding up the Panther without losing it's durability or firepower required the addition of
    the XL engine. The engine wouldn't fit onto the older chassis so the designers had to
    redesign the chassis, at the same time they decided to use Endosteel construction for better
    strength. The PPC was upgraded to an ER PPC and the SRM 4 was upgraded to an SRM 6. Ammo
    capacity was also doubled at the time. Since the SRM and the Artemis IV targeting system had
    problems with feedback from the new engine it was moved to the left torso just below the
    ammo bins, which are now housed in a CASE storage unit. A medium class laser was grafted to
    the left arm as a non-ammo dependant back up to the ER PPC. The new weapons package combined
    with the 84 kph top speed was hoped to provide a quick sell, however, the new omnimechs
    being produced have over shadowed conventional mech production.

Deployment:
    So far no mechs of this configuration have been built. Though the rights to the design are
    currently up for sale.
