Overview:
    A New and upgunned model of the Thorn mech, hopping to breath new life in to the battlemech
    design that was panned by many military's through out the inner sphere.

Capabilities:
    Given this mech is designed for fire support in a cheap but durable battlemech. But many
    detractors say that the XL engine is fragile for such a little battlemech.

I want to like it, but the XL engine to go only 6/9 on a machine this light hampers that.

You could change the armor to ferro, give it an XL gyro, up the speed to 8/12, and still have a half ton with which to upgrade the ER small to a medium laser.

I’d also consider moving one laser to the head in this case.

fair point I should familiarize myself with the engine ratings and weights I have the construction/tech book.
