Interesting. Anyways, here are my entries. The first is intended to act primarily as an ELRM fire support machine with a quartet of MXPLs to provide close defense against fast movers trying to rush in under the minimum range of the missiles. It is also equipped with a C3 Master to link a network from a safe distance.

The second design shares a chassis with the first but replaces the X-Pulse Lasers and C3 Master with a HVAC 2, Targeting Computer, and C3 Slave for improved long range firepower ant anti-aircraft capabilities.

The third uses a pair of HVAC 10's and a LXPL to provide long range direct fire support in a C3 network and carries a SXPL for anti-infantry work.

The fourth and final design is a scout/raider/point man for the formation which does not really fit fully within the bounds of the challenge because it only uses X-Pulse Lasers, but there is really no good way to get the other weapons onto this concept and the other designs are a little light on the lasers.
