Alacorn MK VIII
« on: 21 July 2024, 08:44:03 »
A (much) cheaper Alacorn for the post-Jihad period.

A 285 Fuel Cell replaces the XL engine, Heavy Ferro plating gives a hair more protection for the a couple more Tons, and a trio of Light Gauss Rifles fed by  4-tons of ammo sit in the turret. While firepower has taken a considerable hit, it has greater combat endurance and as it is most commonly used in defensive operations the reduced operational range isn't as bi a concern as believed.

C-Bills price is nice.

Not sure if I like the firepower loss.

I might suggest, for a sniper like this, to drop 1 more ton of ammo for a C3S.
