I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Why no energy weapons? As is you might as well use a FCE and save a bunch of cash.

It probably wouldn't be a VL without ignoring the fusion engine. That said... *rummage* Found a design I made way back:

An experiment in refurbishing a Royal Von Luckner that had been gutted of its XL fusion engine, the small pulse laser, its Streak SRMs and Artemis IV LRM10 i.e. the valuable and easily-stolen. Only three of the lostech SSRMs could be acquired, and it was judged that a normal machine gun would be adequate. Otherwise, the fuel-cell and hydrogen tank, custom-made to fit in the space left by the XL engine, breathed new life into the tank for the first time in decades.
The result is almost as lethal as the original, packing two Holly LRM5s, three Streak SRM2s (though the ammunition is ruinously expensive) and the two original LB10-X autocannons (same). A genuine Ramsey MG was sourced, but circumstances (and poor performance) forced the fitting of an Armstrong Minigun.
