------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Unfortunately for the Stiletto, the politics associated with the mech's
development and deployment resulted in the mech gaining an undeservedly
negative reputation; the ammo dependency of the A model made matters even
worse. While the B model tried to address the issue by making all of the
weapons energy-based, this brought some new problems of its own as the mech
was never intended to make use of so many energy weapons.

In an effort to find the best of both worlds, the 4C was created as a
compromise. The arm-mounted SRMs would be removed in favor of paired lasers.
These lasers would allow the mech to remain in the field even after the LRM's
ammo bin had been emptied, but would not overload the mech's heat sinks. With
the ton left over, a sensor node was installed to help it hunt targets and
additional armor was added to help the mech better stand up to combat.

Only time will tell if this version will change any minds. 

==Variants:==
The proposed 4CS replaces the LRM 5 with an SRM 4, sacrificing long-range
punch for some fairly devastating up-close firepower.

The rules for the sensor node are simple: treat it as a Beagle probe that can only scan in one direction / hex facing at a time instead of a full 360 arc.

Interesting mix of weapons on a small mech. A bit light on the armor for a 35 ton mech but I cannot complain too much about that, I have many lights that are a bit thin.
