Overview:
"You realize that this thing costs as much as some light mechs right?"
"An unfair statement my good sir, A Mech that even attempted to stay in shouting distance of
my fine vehicle would cost nearly 3 times as much as it does. You would do better to
compare it to the Laelaps protomech, which is at least cheaper."
"Exactly my point, This cheaper Laelaps you mention can do the job, so why do I need you?"
"Besides the absurd supposition that you can manage to get your hands on Clan Tech and use
it? The Laelaps, or even a mech with similar capabilites couldn't come close to what this
machine can do. For a moderate increase in price compared to that protomech a Stooge Pigeon
offers better range, More speed, and Much better survivability.. Would you prefer to have
to replace inferior products, or mayhaps you would like to smash your enemies. The choice
is yours."
Capabilities:
The Stooge Pigeon is a spotting VTOL. As such little needs to be said about it's core
capabilities. It has TAG giving it half decent ranage, It Moves Very Fast, allowing both
tactical positioning, and a substantial ability to dodge fire, And as a special Gimick, it
is equiped with Vehicular stealth armor,
Variants:
As seemingly impressive as stealth armor is to such a unit, some did not agree as to it's
utility. The Nature of TAG tends to force it's user in close negating that armor's
advantages. An alternative Variant, the STP-31R Replaces the ECM system and Stealth Armor
with Reflective armor. Though this makes the VTOL more vulnerabe to blunt trama, It's
generally accepted that if the VTOL is being physically attacked, something has gone
horribly wrong anyways.
