more reasonable challenge than my last one.

[Cannonshop]

I want to know how fast you can make a suit go.  Weight, motive type, whatever, is up to you, just put everything you can in to raw speed.

[Empyrus]

Unfortunately, as challenges go, this one doesn't quite work due to how strict BA construction rules are. And the canonical Buraq is already as fast as possible at 7 move, a rare case of min-maxed canon unit.
It is not possible to improve upon that really. And the Buraq is very good at what it does already, though if one wanted a bit of range, swapping MGs for an AP Gauss rifle would be a simple and boring option.

Highest possible jump is a light or medium with 3 jump and jump booster or partial wing for total of 4 jump, and there are examples of good ones already.

Fastest possible VTOL movement is a PA(L) suit with 7 VTOL movement, making it faster than the Buraq in practice (due to flying over obstacles that would slow the Buraq) but far more useless.
Min-maxing with IS chassis, Clan Basic Stealth armor, using mixed manipulators and a Fire Drake Needler we have a flying infantry unit that dies before it can do damage reliably probably.
I'd rather take the Buraq.

A-ha!

Are you willing to accept cheese?  Long story, but the Tortoise II art got me thinking, and I created wheeled BA.  What JJs and partial wings do to them is something I had to put on hold, I had only gotten to BA trailers before RL forced me to deal with other priorities.

So, want to see what I can come up with?  And what's the date you're looking for?

cheeze? why yes, cheddar the hell out of it, it's going to be an alien weapon.

[Red Pins]

Oh.  Well.  Ok, then.

So, any suggested weapons?  Any clue about general physical appearance (tall, short, fast, slow?).

[Red Pins]

Ok, sorry for the wait.  Some caveats;
* Ground movement is naturally faster with wheels, if you're familiar with the Tortoise II, you see it here.
*The design uses Jump Jets and a Jump Booster as, well, rocket boosters.  The concept here is, get close with the standard ground speed, then fire the Jets for a burst of speed to make it to close range of the target.
*Just for giggles, the design uses a partial wing as a REAL wing - how it would look in 'real life' I have no idea, but the idea of a 'Dukes of Hazard' charge and Jump appeals to me.  I suppose it would look something like the new flying car concept under development, a folded wing like a navy fighter aircraft whose wing folds up and out, then folds back in.
*Ideally, this was to mount a ECCM suite or C3 booster, to allow it to carry a detachable weapons platform, to carry one or two HellWasp drones.  Look them up on the forum; they're pretty awesome, and meant as terror weapons against civilians.  I made sure to get permission to use them in a drone project on hold right now.

So, the construction.
1. IS
    750 kg
    IS - 100 kg
    Wheeled
     Space (As Quad) - 7

2. Ground move - 3 free + 5 (20kg/Hex) - 100 kg <---200 kg
    Non-Ground - 3 (Max) - 75 kg  <---275 kg
    Special - Partial Wing and Jump Booster - 325 kg  <---600 kg

3. Basic Manipulators - 0 kg

4. Armor - 3 pts, standard armor - 150  <---750 kg

Hope it helps.  Good luck writing, enjoying what you've gotten so far.
