I told him I like 'Mechs that heat up, but can jump to get away. So he made this. Which isn't bad, but I prefer 'Mechs that are 5/8/5 as a minimum and can heat up a lot more than that!!

Well, a 3 hex jump is usually not that far, unless you are standing near to a handy hidey spot that nobody can easily reach next turn.

Exactly, which is why a 5 jump is my preferred minimum!

You can always apply some new tech to achieve that 
Please delete the 'mech from the units submitted once you are done with it, but I've noticed a glitch with equipment distribution while toying with this - see the iJJs. After taking the compact gyro (because the PPC needed to go to CT for perfect symmetry) and causually clicking on the slot below it iJJ allocated there as well and split to right arm completely removing shoulder crit there (which disappeared god-knows-where).

Much closer with the use of the IJJs (though Vagabond is gonna hate it). My issue still remains that there are too many heat sinks. The perfect amount of heat sinks on this for me would be 13 double. Sure those 4 extra tons can be used somewhere else.
As for the bug, I was able to reproduce, so will fix it in my next update. Thanks for finding it!

I wanted to keep the nonstop jump-blast spirit of the 'mech. As with the use of heat sinks and free tonnage I'd consider toying with some capacitors.
