================================================================================================
Overview:
    There are more configurations of Shadowdancer, that are not as much used on the field as
    PRIME and A configurations, but they had been encountered on at least one occasion. It isn't
    confirmed, but these configurations can be official, even if not liked by warriors.
    
    
    
    Since the fielding of Shadowdancer one year passed and scientist caste was busy with
    collecting data and toying with various weapon configurations. Some of them were deemed
    acceptable for military service and the specifications were sent to units for combat tests.
    
    
    
    ( Left arm should have one double heat-sink under the laser, because only ten heat-sinks are
    fixed on original chassis. )

Capabilities:
    Shadowdancer F belongs to configurations that are usually installed only when some special
    need arises. AMS with good amount of ammunition increases the amount of time that the mech
    can remain in battle. Offensive armament consists of two ER lasers, again augmented by
    targeting computer, but main asset of this configuration is the ability to designate targets
    for the rest of their unit with TAG and Narc beacon launcher.

Deployment:
    Unlike C configuration, that is usually fielded in smaller engagements, where firepower is
    more needed than specialized equipment, F configuration sees action only in major
    engagements, like deep raid executed against Bluemont, apparently intended to test defenses
    around Coventry. Two Shadowdancer Fs acted as spotters for entire trinary that inflicted
    heavy damage to militia units that tried to stop Falcon advance, but the raiders left
    quickly, as they started to run out of ammo.
