Exterminator 5D

[casperionx]

Using the schematics from the New Dallas Core, Federated Sus scientists and engineers re built the infamous exterminator using the 4Db as the basis, they used imported light PPC in place of the ER large laser.

This weight saving along with using 12 tons of  Kallon Light Ferro Fibrous armour allowed the addition of an advanced targeting computer.

Initial testing found the mech to be more efficient than is progenitor due to the targeting computer, even though the ranged damage out put is less.

I'm torn.
I like a TC as much as the next guy, but your messing with what is basically the best Exterminator model out there.
I think I prefer the 8 point hit & if anything would like to see that get bigger, not smaller.

[Daryk]

Nah... I think the six Medium Lasers make up for any short fall at range.  The whole purpose of the Exterminator is headhunting... sneak in close and eliminate command units.  This version does that admirably.

[casperionx]

Yeah, I know what you mean, and I was actually tempted to drop one medium laser for a capacitor for the light PPC which would have allowed for a 10 point hit every second turn.

I love the EXT-4Db, I think it is arguably one of the best royals there is.

While the Davions could so it with an ER Large the loss of any of the medium lasers hurt its damage potential up close.

[Daryk]

If you could afford to drop a half ton of armor, that Small Laser could be bumped up to a Medium without affecting the size of the Targeting Computer...

[casperionx]

That was something else I considered but considering its going to be danger close at the best of times, all the armour it can have is the best option.
