I had done something similar with the Vulcan a while back. I think I also added a remote sensor dispenser.

Stealth armor is a nice touch. Hitting it would be a nightmare for most units

Made the Assassin useful...Nice!
If at first you don't succeed, make it worth the repairman's time!

I've always felt the LPPC was pretty much tailor-made for the Assassin.
Had it been part of the introductory weapons list, it would probably be the second-most popular energy weapon of all after the ML.
That's it! Challenge the Clans to rock-paper-scissors in 3050! A good portion of the 'Mechs didn't have hands so the Inner Sphere would win!
If I had a nickel for every time I've legged a Warhammer, I could put them in a sock, spin it around and leg another Warhammer.

What does it for me?  The Alpha Strike stats.  It doesn't too that much damage but the guy is very hard to hit and has an electronics package that is too useful.

Hard to hit, decent weapons and a nice ECM package. Like it a lot!
