Revisiting an old discussion,
I was playing around with TRO Golden Century units recently and made an interesting discovery...although I'll be highly surprised if no one else has noticed it by now. Did you know that if you replace the Qasar's engine with an XXL it's actually at maximized tonnage for the thrust? Sure it now costs something like 80 billion, but hey, if the Diamond Sharks want to showcase the things AND gain some good will with the 'Cats in the Protectorate? Fooling around with a design, may end up posting it in the appropriate forum later once I decide on a name. Considering calling it either the 'Yi' or 'Perry' currently. The 'LeMay' if I want to be extra vindictive in naming it. Can you strafe with plasma cannon?
Bringing the Vision Quest, fully modernized, back to production would be a nice symbolic gesture too, although I'm less clear what I'd do with that. It's a pretty solid design, even without all the traditional weight saving gear, and leaving it that way actually makes it a decent 'budget' choice for Clan gear.
