================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Crazy Sun debuted shortly before the Succession Wars, but its factories were among the
    first to be destroyed, dooming it to a rapid decline. Thanks to its primarily laser-based
    armaments, the Crazy Sun was fragile and difficult to repair when compared to designs that
    used more rugged missile and ballistic weapons. Additionally, the Crazy Sun's custom engine
    couplings, designed to efficiently feed energy to its many lasers, was an asset to the
    mech's original configuration, but limited its ability to accept downgrades to more rugged
    weapons. The last Crazy Sun was wrecked at the close of the Second Succession War.

Capabilities:
    The Crazy Sun CRZ-4Z's primary weapon is an extended range medium laser, backed up by two
    extended range medium lasers and fourteen extended range small lasers, two of them rear
    facing.
    The greatest weakness of the original Crazy Sun - its somewhat low top speed - has been
    rectified with the addition of a supercharger, allowing the mech to get into its preferred
    range rapidly. The Crazy Sun's SRM-4 is an effective backup weapon, hunting for flaws in the
    enemy's armor created by the lasers.
    
    Unlike the CRZ-3Z, the initial production model of the resurrected Crazy Sun, the CRZ-4Z has
    a long-range punch, allowing it to engage targets at more conventional ranges. As a result,
    it is a somewhat more versatile mech and has slightly outsold the original.
    
    The Crazy Sun has the following Design Quirks: Battlefists [LA], Battlefists [RA], and Weak
    Legs.

Variants:
    The production model of the resurrected Crazy Sun, the CRZ-3Z, relied entirely on extended
    range medium lasers and small pulse lasers, making it somewhat more effective at close range
    and giving it some utility against infantry, but at the cost of reducing its effective
    range.
