So Argus1348 mentioned that the original Hermes II was advertised as having advanced heat sinks and lasers during the narrow window after Blazer Cannons were invented and Double Heat Sinks were lost...  :D

Perfection. It's all I could ever hope for in an Hermes II. It even ties in the Hermes III as a later downgrade of this one...

[Daryk]

Glad you like it!  I literally loaded the bog-standard HER-2S, dropped the AC/5 and ammo, inserted the Blazer Cannon and upgraded the Heat Sinks...  :)

Heh.

Double Heat Sinks were not very available lost tech during most of the Succession wars .

[Daryk]

Which is why I targeted the few years they WEREN'T extinct...  ^-^

Good work. After digging out the introduction dates of Hermes II, Double Heat Sinks and Blazer Cannon, i had the feeling that someone would pick that up. ;-)

I think this mech fits well in early Succession Wars scenarios or as prize a RPG adventure. In the late Succession Wars period (after Helm Memory Core), it can appear again.

Thanks for checking in!  :thumbsup:

I could see a variant that replaces the Flamer with a Small Pulse Laser too...  8)
