Overview:
This Hector was used as a test-bed in the Third Succession War for the Binary
Laser Cannon. By updating the Hector's base components to standards that had
been available through the Succession Wars, engineers were able to free twenty
one tons.


The engineers then pulled the typical Large Lasers out of the Hector's arms and
replaced them with a Binary Laser Cannon. They then filled the remaining
tonnage with heat sinks to mitigate the massive heat generated by the BLCs.
These additional heat sinks were not able to totally fix the issue, but
engineers mounted four heat sinks into the legs to provide additional cooling
capability by standing in water.


To free room in the legs for these heat sinks, the machine guns and ammunition
was moved to the torsos.

Be the Loremaster:

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

You bought the box set and are ready to expand your BT experience. Now what? (Thanks Sartis!)

Have to agree.....lose the miniguns and drop in a pair of heat sinks. 
If at first you don't succeed, make it worth the repairman's time!

Heck with that: two flamers. That way you still have antipersonnel weapons, but don't blow up.

Then you wait until the 3070s and make the godforsaken version with Blazers and Plasma Rifles.  >:D
