    forward reconnaissance and spotting for frontline assets or fire-power and durability to
    lighter ones.

Capabilities:
    To fulfil its mission the SI-1K would be able to hit speeds of up to 96 km/h and jump up to
    150 meters. It's C3 slave and iNARC would be able to relay date to other assets as well as
    allow the mech the employ a range of nasty munition options. This would be paired with a MML
    7 in the left arm supported by two tons of ammo, and three clan-grade er-medium lasers in
    the right arm. The mech would be protected by 10.5 tons of standard armor (168 pips) while
    10 dbl heat sinks would be fitted to the design for sinking purposes.

It is fine as is.

However, I would prefer a 5/8/5 LFE and use the weight savings to add a BAP in the RT.

When considering scouts, I like to consider them against the double blind rules, and as such, I prefer to have the BAP/AP/LAP whenever possible to improve spotting chances. BAP without double blind is usually a waste of space.

On my end? I was looking to make an effective iNarc Platform. I hadn't really tinkered around with the system in anything I had previously made.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Sohei would be developed by Alshain Weapons. Looking to break away from their light mech
    roots the 55 ton SI-1K would be designed to fill the roll of a heavy scout. Providing
    forward reconnaissance and spotting for frontline assets or fire-power and durability to
    lighter ones.

Capabilities:
    To fulfil its mission the SI-1K would be able to hit speeds of up to 84 km/h under normal
    conditions and reach speeds over 100 kn/h with the assistance of a supercharger. Jump Jets
    would be added to allow the mech to leap up to 150 meters. E-warfare assets like a
    Bloodhound active probe, a boosted C3 slave unit, and an iNARC would let the SI-1K ferret
    out targets then relay data to other assets as well as employ a range of nasty munition
    options. This would be paired with a MML 7 in the left arm supported by two tons of ammo,
    and three clan-grade er-medium lasers in the right arm. The mech would be protected by 11
    tons of standard armor (176 pips). 10 dbl heat sinks would be fitted to the design for
    sinking purposes.

A good compromise. The Supercharger gives it the burst of ground speed but saves weight for other items when that extra 1 mp isn't needed. The added electronics seem well chosen.

Thank you, after considering your comments, the Bloodhound felt right for the mech. Additionally, with it being a bit of a "first contact" mech I thought the boosted C3 was a good option to upgrade to.
