								Probably something about cost? A 7/11 mech with two ER Large Lasers does make for some nasty hit-and-run games, but it`s not my style of play. I`d rather use mediums as main battle mechs than skirmishers.

								Nevermind, for some weird reason, I completely skipped over the two ERL's.

								I'm sorry Karagin, but I get the same feeling for this mech as I did with your Wild Cat, and that is that I've seen it before.  This time I can put my finger on it, though.  It's a souped up Crab.
 
 But it is better than the Crab, IMO.

								Okay so it's a better version of the Crab...never noticed that before. But as I said over in the other thread...some times repeats are going to happen...
 
 But I am glad that you like it.

								A Crab on Steroids maybe?  Nice speed, although I'd say with that engine masc is a little excessive.
 Overall, nice design.
