If we ditch the jump jets we can upgrade to an AC/5 and add another SRM-2 rack. I personally don't like the AC/2 very much; not enough punch. We've already got the PPC, why not back it up with something nice too.
You can also fit in two tons of AC/5 ammo.

Count my vote for the AC/5 - PPC combo.
An AC/10 - Large Laser combo would be interesting too, but we might have to go overweight.

You would loose some long range capability too.

I think right now there are more votes for the AC5.
If we want this to be truly unique we could always have it go 4-6-2 sort of a big Shadowhawk. If Vagabond wants character we can give it character.

4-6-2???
Sounds like a Pacific class steam engine.
Hmmmm... How about dropping the fusion engine for a steam generator?

No, it's not OK, but I guess it'll have to do.

Lets figure out the armour distribution and weapon placement.
I vote for ammo in the legs

Yeah, you place some explosive charges in the ammo bins and when you want to jump you set them off. Of course it's only a one shot deal and the landing is REALLY rough but hey....who wants to live forever?
