================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Brace is a pre-modern design.  It was intended to be a battleline unit, supporting other
    more traditional mechs in an economical package.  In the modern era it has been superceded
    by heavier elements with same mission profile, such as the Drudge.

Capabilities:
    The C configuration acts as a medium range direct fire support unit with greater reliability
    and sustainability then comparable ballistic configurations.  A quad of Snub-nosed PPCs are
    the source of firepower.  Though weaker at long range then some alternatives, as the range
    closes the firepower and accuracy of these weapons steeply rises, allowing this
    configuration to park outside of scrum range and wreck hostile units engaged with the front
    line.  Heat from such a heavy array of energy weapons is a priblem.  Heat capacity is
    sufficient to support just under 75% of the available firepower.  A bank of coolant pods
    allows maximum rate fire for over a minute, much longer then most decisive combat lasts on
    average.
