While we are on the topic of odd choices.
I came across this one just the other day on Sarna.
DRG-5Nr
A simple field refit used during the Jihad, this version mounts a C3 Slave unit in the torso and a second arm-mounted laser by removing the rear-firing model, while replacing the original autocannon with a Light Autocannon/5.[9] BV (2.0) = 1,277[10]
9. Technical Readout: 3085, p. 190
10. Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New, p. 88
So I read this & I'm thinking.
Okay, 3 tons freed up from the LAC. 1 Used on the C3. No Rear Laser.
We are up to D-Class from the C3 Slave, but still doable in a drop ship repair bay.
I'm wondering where the other 2 tons went, but figured its Armor or Heatsinks.
Then I look at the AS card on the MUL and see somethings that makes me go HUH ?
1. CASE
2. Rear (1/1/-)
Now, if its a
Simple Field Refit. then why does it have CASE on it, which is clearly a Factory upgrade?
And if it removed the Rear Laser to put it in the Left Arm, then WHY does it still have a Rear special ability?
I'm not sure if Sarna isn't quoting the source properly or if the creator of the RS & the writer of the fluff just didn't bother to communicate, but clearly the description & the AS stats do not add up at all.
