Well, if you get your hands on some rare clan-grade Ferro Lamellor, you might survive a bit better.
Still, there's no way to get this thing fast.
I'd vote for making it 5 tons lighter, it can't really drop your defense by much given the engine efficiency.
The AC 10 probably does a better job as an LBX, lighter, more range, more options.
Leaves you sufficient weight for some missiles and a case system.

Also, where the hell are you getting that much FL armour? You might buy enough to outfit a lance of hovercrafts, but this thing?

Ooo! OOOOOOO! That was a bad one!...and I liked it.

Dude, it a 3rd Succession War vehicle. I'd probably for something like 2 X LRM-20 with decent ammo and a lot of SRM's

My advice would be LRMs or artillery, to allow it to keep firing on units it can't catch. Keep the light AC for flak work.

Agreed, and I would make that a 2-X or 5-X once they become available.

Well, the original question was about modern age Armoured motive systems, and when that turned out too heavy, he asked what else could be done.
In the 3rd hissy fit there's no AMS, either.

True, I was asking about the possibilities of a full modern day (3145) upgrade. ;)

Well, given that its primary factory is currently being occupied by Wolf Empire and its been two hundred years...I'd be saying no unless Clan Wolf likes change their mobile warefare to slow and steady Lyran style.

Şoarece IIC would be interesting idea though.

They would probably turn it into an artillery support vehicle.
Bit less armour, potentially weight, XL engine, and some large piece of ballistic ordnance.
If they want to really make it durable, FL armour and clan AMS, but let's be honest here... nope.
I suppose for range and firepower, and to keep the scatterbrained aspect, they could install one of each HAG.  ::)

Y'know, we should probably move all this talk to a thread in the fan designs forum, so that people who want to talk about the actual Şoarece can do so. That is the point of the 'otW threads, after all.
