------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Although most of the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere have made many
purpose built medium mechs many have not managed to gain success with them in
a long time. Challenge Systems of New Valencia, wants to change that and
seeing the need of many to rebuild their military forces after the last 40
years of hard fought wars, the need of purpose built mechs is seen as a boon
rather then a cruse.
==Capabilities:==
Challenge Systems technicians debated for months about which blend of weapons
and mobility would best mountetd on mid-range platform. Some favored mounting
large numbers of medium lasers, while others believed that long range and
short missiles would be a better approach, giving the mech stand off distance
and allow it to live longer. A third group favored going with the growing
popularity of the LB-X series of autocannons and purposed that a dual Class 5
set up would give the mech both punch and range.

Now that's some wasted potential. Is there a good reason for having twelve heat sinks when it can hardly use ten, like New Valencia being a deserttified oven of a planet, or you are already expecting engine hits through moderate armour? I'm not exactly sure about the small streak SRMs as backup, as the overall damage output is already pretty low, but the sheer amount of carried ammunition begs for being exploded. The AC ammo on the other hand is quite lacking for a 'Mech that seems to be designed to jump around and shower the enemy with shots on the run.
If I may suggest a redesign, then drop the two heat sinks, replace the streak SRMs with two standard SRM-2s, add one ton of AC ammo (which will allow you to circle through cluster and standard shells) and finally add a half ton of armour. Still not great for the cost, but a bit more useful.
