Overview:
    "I really wish they had better documentation protocols in the past."
    
    "What'd you find?"
    
    "Crusader variant.  Unknown if it was ever used.  Looks like it came out of a 'Replace all
    missiles with MMLs' development project.  Probably the same one that gave us the AS7-U.
    Looks like it may of taken cues from the AS8-IPD2.  But done badly."

Capabilities:
    The problem is the TSM.  Including it increases the Balance Value we use to tailor our force
    for best psychological impact by nearly 20%, and increases the price tag dramatically.   In
    addition its inclusion short stopped the use of better structural materials that could of
    been used to enhance protection and firepower.
    
    But what makes it more infuriating is the small lasers that seem added just to help control
    the heat.  They seem like they're placed to deliberately get in the way of using the TSM for
    physical attacks.  And they barely overheat the mech.  What they really should of done was
    use a pair of ER small lasers instead of a second pair of small lasers.
