================================================================================================
Variants:
    Developed as an early prototype improvement to the original Dragon-1N, the 3N model does not
    deviate far from what made its predecessor such a valuable additional to the armies of the
    Draconis Combine. No change was made to either it?s missile launcher or it?s lasers, but the
    original medium caliber autocannon has been exchanged for a multipurpose LB-10X model.
    Although it has only half the shots of the older gun, this weapon can hit twice as hard, has
    the same range, and can fire its notably devastating ?shotgun? rounds that make it an
    effective crit-seeker. Both the ammunition for this weapon, as well as the long range
    missiles are protected by cellular ammunition storage systems, which help protect the
    BattleMech from being destroyed by ammunition explosion. These changes were made possible by
    replacing its internal structure with a far lighter, but also bulkier, endo-steel skeletal
    structure, which was then encased in ferro-fibrous armor. It was these last two features
    that doomed this model to the history books of the time. Although this version wasn?t as
    expensive overall in comparison to the soon to be upgraded Grand Dragon, these last two
    technologies were still not as well developed as they needed to be to meet the requirements
    of front line units. Therefore the Dragon-3N was relegated to the annals of history, with
    only a few examples built; all of which were lost either in the War of 3039 or during the
    Clan Invasion.

Nice upgrade, not to far outside the realm of possibility.

Thanks. Was looking for a way to upgrade while having a larger AC, but not an XL. The UAC was already done, so this seemed the way. Playing around with ideas for a more mid-range design too.
