======================================================================================
Overview:
This is the logical progression of an Inner-sphere design taken over by clan
tech's.
Capabilities:
This pure energy mech was originally developed during the finial stages of the
Succession wars. While the original was a well balanced fighting machine, this
version simply takes the finial logical step and upgrades all the electronic
and weapon systems while confusing an opponent by the use of standard armor.
Deployment:
All these units are with the 82 Division based on Io in the Sol star system.
Variants:
The only known variant replaces the Large Pulse with an ER PPC. This makes it
similar to the Kurita Pather in configuration and mission.
Notable MechWarriors:

Not that it can keep all those lasers firing continually and moving for a long time anyway

I have a philosophy on playing Battletech.- I don't place stuff in my rear arc cuz I figure if i am stupid enough to allow someone into that area then I deserve to die.
As for firing everything and moving... Truth to tell doing something like that would be dumb of me... Thats they way an amateur would fight his mech. ( no offense and I'm not calling you an amateur just generalizing ) If in a pinch i *WILL* touch off everything and hope the God of the dice is smiling on me, however thats a last resort.
Placing your shots, understanding the ranges and to-hit modifiers and such while allowing for your movement, terrain, opponents movement and all the lil other details are what separate those who can and do vs those who can't and died.
( and trust me, i did a LOT of dying learning to play and those hard lessons.)

Sometimes an enemy in your rear arc is unavoidable. Sometimes it's actually something you want. In either case, I almost never (if ever) would put a rear facing weapon. I'd instead opt for arms that flip and place a few weapons in them.

I'm not telling you to make this to an alpha-boat, but this thing can only fire two medium lasers and LPL or ERML battery while standing still to generate 0 heat. While moving and going alpha you'd get ugly 12 heat, which should be avoided. Ideally on overheating mode you'd be generating some 4 points for 0 modifiers, but that would be harder to achieve with current configuration, but replacing one of the medium lasers with an additional DHS could get you lower alpha output, but overall you could fire more often.

i find rear facing weapons useful for those times when a fight gets into a good brawl and you can take an opportunity shot with your rear gun.
it is also useful against infantry.
As such, I would relocate 2 lasers to CT and make 1 a rear facing SPL. Token defense vs sneaky infantry, a pop gun for opportunity shots, and it maintains the original mechs visual profile.
