================================================================================================
Overview:
An energy-focused version of the Hardshot, the HDS-1E was developed in 2619 to create a
configuration that was effective at all ranges. As such, all weapons besides the machine gun
were removed in favor of PPCs and lasers. It also includes missile defenses, squeezed in due
to it having leftover tonnage after the other modifications. The design's factories would
unfortunately be destroyed in the Amaris Civil War, and would not be ressurected until the
Helm Memory Core was found and TharHes restarted production in 3048 in time for the Clan
Invasion.
Capabilities:
The primary guns of the 1E are two PPCs mounted on the turret, highly effective at
medium-to-long range. The secondary weapon is a Medium Laser installed on the right side of
the tank, able to cover foes inside the PPC's minimum range. As an emergency option a Small
Laser is installed frontward, and the Machine Gun is carried over, though the ammo drum
system was removed in favor of a massive 900-round ammo box that is harder to reload.
Finally, the left side of the Hardshot hosts an Anti-Missile System with 2 tons of
ammunition, providing defense against enemy missile boats.
Due to the lack of a need for the sensitive autoloader, it was stripped out and the hard cap
on the turret's traversal rate was removed.
DESIGN QUIRKS: Narrow/Low Profile
Variants:
HD-1E2: Made by GM after the loss of the original 1E's production facilities, this Hardshot
strips all the weaponry to create an all-laser loadout.
