Thought the -7A was the Star League Warhammer?

Both the 6Rb and 7A are royal variants. Presumably the 6Rb was the earlier model.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

Yeah. 6Rb only just missed the Reunification War, thats how much earlier. While the 7A still had that new mech smell when Amaris shot Richard.

IMO it would also make sense for them to sell upgrade kits for all the mercs still out there using -3R, -3M or -3L . . . the -3D is a toss up IMO.
The only issue I see there is that the 2R uses CASE.
So the upgrades need to be done at a Factory :(
Still a solid idea, just that many units won't be able to get that kind of access time.

As for the old L1 models, while the 3D is an obvious favorite of many.
I've found myself really appreciating the 3M for its close in brutality & heat management.

Eh, I do not buy into that with CASE b/c its more about refitting the armor than the IS to get it to mount IMO.  Still even a half ton underweight -2R would be a improvement over the -3R, etc.

I would have liked to see it with 1/2 ton more Ferro.

Sure, but if we talk about sticking to what exists than the -2R kits would be produced with a quirk- No CASE post 3000.  Makes it stick with a canon variant though in campaign play it would be up to players.
