Overview:
Despit having scout mechs like the COMMANDO, PANTHER, FIREBALL, and SCARABUS,
there was a need for a more durable, and purely Marian, scout mech. Being told
to spare no expense in the creation of the mech, MAI indeed spared nothing in
building the SPECULATOR. Unfortunately, that made it a very expensive scout
mech.
Capabilities:
When given the task to build a new scout mech, and told 'spare no expense',
nobody really thought that the project would be so expensive. First, it has
near max amount of reflective armour imported from the FS. Second, it has TAG,
a Beagle probe, and an ECM suite, all 'needed' for its scouting roles. To fit
all of that in, the mech has an endo steel frame and a 315 light engine. The
only cost-effective items are its four standard medium lasers. Indeed
everything they could put in the mech, they did. It can target for artillery,
flush out hidden enemies, and disrupt the enemies movements. But It all comes
at the price of the mech. At just over 8 million c-bills, even the great houses
would not purchase many if it were sold to them. Its a sturdy mech, but only a
handful of the -3H SPECULATOR are made each year. Its variants are much more
affordable, and are more common in the MHAF. Despite this, the mach is well
recieved by pilots who are assigned to them.
Deployment:
Despite its price tag, every legio has at least two of the -3H, scouting for
major strikes. Its variants are more spread out and are the main medium scouts
for every legio.
