================================================================================================
Overview:
    Desiring a fast tracked infantry fighting vehicle to pair with their Enyo Strike Tanks, Clan
    Hell’s Horses scientists pulled inspiration from one of the Inner Sphere’s most
    effective of such designs; the Goblin Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The resulting Goblin IIC is
    very similar to the Enyo in capabilities, with the addition of being able to transport a
    point of infantry. This means that units that pair the two together may loose some missile
    firepower, but gain heavily in infantry assets.

Capabilities:
    Like its predecessor, the Goblin IIC pairs a large pulse laser with a 6 pack of short range
    missiles, but being streak missiles, every shot counts. As the standard Enyo also mounts a
    large pulse laser paired with Streak-6 racks, this eases logistics for the clan. The Goblin
    IIC can also keep pace with the Enyo as both tanks can reach cruising speeds of some 60+ kph
    and flank speeds of almost 100 kph. A pair of anti-personnel Gauss rifles can take out soft
    targets and aid against harder targets as well, and an anti-missile system helps protect
    clan assets.

Deployment:
    Thanks to this new design, Novas of tracked vehicles and infantry assets are being created
    and sent into the battlefield alongside standard OmniMech Novas in cavalry units.

Nice. I'd have gone with 5 tons of infantry bay so it can also carry Elementals.

You could drop the AMS, AMS Ammo for 1.5 tons.

Or you could drop down to a standard SRM for 1.5 tons.

The remaining 0.5 tons could be taken from armor or by dropping an AP gauss.

Other than the switch from streaks to standards, any such changes make the design less capable than its Inner Sphere counterpart.

Not something the Clan would want to do.

Switching from Streaks to standard SRM’s makes it not pair as well to the Enyo, which was an objective of the design.

Not something I would really want the clan to do.

Besides, you already have several designs that can handle transport of Elemental assets. The purpose of this design was to provide an effective transport of standard foot infantry assets while minimizing the reduction in firepower of a binary of Enyo Strike Tanks.
