I'm not sure, whether a compact engine is helpful here. With ten free crits I would find some other use for five tons which were taken by the engine. as a result the weapons are little weak for a 55 ton machine and the ER smalls aren't easy to use because this 'Mech can't get in range quickly. If the it's fielded in broken terrain than it may work, but this seems to be a downgrade.

Slow and only carries one long-range weapon. Even at 6 hexes it's stuck with a large and two medium lasers- essentially the same as an old Phoenix Hawk. Sure they're ER and have a targeting computer, but this is 2/3 the speed of a P Hawk. At point blank range, it can deliver 28 points of damage- not overwhelming.

The compact engine is out of place here- there's plenty of space for a standard, and it desperately needs either improved speed or firepower

I'm not a big fan of ER lasers. They create too much heat for what they are. Switch your ER Mediums for Pulse Mediums. The damage per heat ratio is better. If you're concerned about losing long range effectiveness when swapping out these weapons swap out a couple of the ER smalls for something with more range. Granted at close range you could do 25 points of damage and dissapate all heat (if running). But you could better yourself by using more heat efficeint weapons.
