==Overview:==
When it began to circulate that the Wolf's Dragoons had LAMs among their
ranks, our interest was raised but only minimally. After all, given that we
still do not know of their source of Annhialators or who provided the upgrade
for the Imp, we figured that they had simply taken a few LAMs out of their
storage bays and had pressed them into service.
The Warsprite took us totally by surprise. If this is indeed a new LAM
design, then it is the first LAM design to see the Inner Sphere since the Nova
Cats destroyed the Stinger LAM factory on Irece during the Clan Invasion.
Moving at 7/11/7 curtesy of MASC and an XL Engine, the Warsprite backs
itself up through the use of four ER Medium Lasers and triple-strength myomer
circuitry. This arsenal alone gives it more power than the classic Stinger and
Wasp LAMs, and makes it a clear rival for the Phoenix Hawk LAM.
Why the Dragoons have brought this mech out into service remains a mystery.
All we know is that this machine is a flying nightmare.

Damn. I know you went through a LOT of trouble to make this design, and it probably took some work.... but I have to do this:
This was excruitatingly boring!
I don't want to be rude.. but i'm sick of Wolf's Dragoons, 4 medium lasers (of any type), 7/11/7 LAMs. I know they aren't common, but nothing on this design screamed: PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
Mix it up a little. Make this jump up and kick something where it counts!
Now, this design could win a fight... it would bore its opponents to death.
Next time... don't make a LAM. Make a Mech that had been through duels in the Periphery, scraped together by hand by some guy named Tony, who had crafted a giant wrench to be used in the off hand of the mech. THAT would get some attention.
Again, excellent work on a statistically find machine, just make something COOL and UNIQUE! 
Raven, who considers this a problem not with Kraken but any book published after 3055!

Not counting the time I blew trying to come up with a Firestarter LAM, this took all of five minutes.

| One thing about it that I at least appreciate: it's not maxed out for weight like most LAM's.
