Overview:
The SHD-1D Shadow is a Deep-Strike Advanced Recon mech. It is jam packed with high-tech
equipment, ranging from Star-League era Stealth armor to a iC3 computer. This 'mech is
produced in very limited numbers by Luthien Arms from an stolen stealth armor shipment that
'disappeared' from the Chaos march (It was carried in a Mule class DropShip, an estimated
5,000 tons was stolen by the DCMS, as it was all they could carry before an unmarked ship,
rumored to be FedCom, scared them away and made away with an additional 5,00 tons...) and
put to work on a mech.
The Shadow is by all means a technological marvel. It uses the most advanced construction
materials to date, and has an array of electronic warfare capacities that beat that of the
Raven's. A 240XL engine is imported from several locations. The Shadow has a rather stocky
appearance from the bulkiness of the Stealth Armor and Endo Steel along with various parts
jammed in its frame, leaving not much space to spare.
Capabilities:
The SHD-1D Shadow boosts an impressive electronic suit. Its ECM Countermeasure and Stealth
Armor makes it suited to disrupting enemy electronic gear while being incredibly difficult
to detect and/or hit, making it useful for recon. Its Beagle Active Probe allows it to flush
out the hidden, and a TAG allows it to call in support to do serious damage to the target,
while its 7 tons of Stealth Armor provides protection. The iC3 network enforces its roll as
a spotter by linking it to a nearby network.
The Shadow's 240XL reactor allows it to reach speeds of 127KPH, making it even harder to
hit. 3 ER Medium Lasers allow it a moderate firepower, but fairly disappointing for a design
this size. However, this mech's forte is in electronic warfare, not direct slugfest, but it
can be a deadly fighter in a pinch, with its electronic protection and small battery of
lasers.
Deployment:
The SHD-1D Shadow is scattered in units with a combination of high loyaltay to the DCMS and
skill in a recon mech.

Technology mix is quite wild. with standard C3 small laser or flamer and one more DHS it may look better. Moving one of the lasers to torso from RA may save it from loosing 2/3 of weapons to arm destruction (lucky gauss hit). Cost is steep but this mech has purpose that can justify it.

Nasty Scout good speed the maxed out armour is good and stealth capability enhances things even more.The electronics package is impressive and it has the firepower to defend .With the maxed out stealth armour and impressive speed this beasty is going to be damn hard to hit and it has enough armour to take some punishment.I can see this being found in Comstar or New Star League units.

The Mech's fine.. If it belongs to the Wobbies..
No one else can steal or make use of such a combination of technology.
Stealth armour from House Liao and C3i, which is used either by ComStar of the Wobbies.. the Draconis Combine invented the original C3 technology.. which is NOT C3i..
Also Stealth armour is NOT star league technology..
Now like i said, the mech itself is fine.. it's fast, carries a neat electronics package and can bite if it needs too.

Comment:
Since when did the DCMS ever use C3i ? The C3i is specifically designed for Wobbie and ComStar 6 mech formations not the 4 mech lance used by Successor Houses. Also if you have a C3 system or C3i system, there is no reason for Tag.
As for the engine, i doubt the dracs need to import em and im not particularly sold on the ER weapons. Stealth armor generates 10 heat per round, running generates 2 and firing all 3 lasers generates 15 heat.
That is a total of 27 heat and 7 heat will slow down the mech. Sealth armor forces enemies to get closer anyway, so u can get away with standard mediums (which only generates 9 heat).
The mech is still too costly to justify anything though.

I love stealth armor and I like the concept but this mech just doesn't cut it for me. It's very expensive and mounting an electronics package on a mech with stealth armor seems a little counter productive to me. Sure you might not need to activate the stealth till danger arrives, but once it does your usefulness is cut down dramatically. I would love to capture one of these babys and use one but the design is to expensive for me to ever consider buying.
