Hi Everyone,
Recovering from heart ailments in 2008, I decided to start researching a plot hook I read in Field Manual: Warden Clans: The Goliath Scorpion Seeker. I quickly realized I did not want to run the campaign in the present, but preferred to run the campaign in the more open environment of the Golden Century, especially because I could explore some conspiracy theories for the adventures. In the intervening years, I have spent many, many hours on this project, and there have been a few publications that have aided this project.
I saw a related thread put up here (http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=69652.0), and thought I want to share some of my work with the community, especially because I have put a tremendous amount of time into this labor of love. Construction rationales are given below, but the primary goal was to create a more compelling setting in the intermediate Golden Century period.
If you would like to contribute to this thread, please feel free.
BattleMechs Refits
Please see TRO:GC for canon “Early Clan” (EC) refits of classic Star League BattleMechs and prototypes.
The earliest BattleMechs are based on customization rules available in SO, p. 188, with new production written into the campaign’s setting. I will just focus on Refits for this thread. I used the Clan equipment upgrades in Historical: Operation KLONDIKE, p. 156, as well as the Early Clan Equipment from Interstellar Operations, pp. 95-98, 195, and 216-219. With the smaller size of Clan equipment, most of these variants are Class C or D refits, though there are a couple times I added CASE (Class E).
The resultant early Clan BattleMechs are frequently mixed-Tech, and should be considered “Era Specific”. Upgrades were organic, in that I most often based them upon a newly available, better weapon system (e.g. PPC being replaced by a Clan Improved PPC), or were interpolations of the original configuration and variants fielded by the Clans or Wolf’s Dragoons. There are few assault BattleMechs among the upgrades, since their more limited numbers led to custom upgrades.
The period after KLONDIKE became much more heated for inter-Clan raiding and Trials of Possession, according to many sources (including FM:CC, p 75, “Building The Clan”). It only felt right that front-line Clan units should start incorporating the (in hindsight) intermediate tech base (2818-2850) that was replaced by Clan standard (2822-present). However, with the "waste not, want not" Clan mentality, it seems unlikely the "Clan Improved" standard was produced in any significant surplus. And the significant advantages of Clan-spec XL engines, CASE, and Endo Steel shift armament efforts towards new production, eclipsing refits by the 2830s. By the time of my campaign, 90%+ of these weapons had been replaced by weapons evolution and battlefield attrition.
Please note, CI = Clan Improved, CP = Clan Prototype
Also, a note as to the haves and have-nots of the Clans 2821-2834. The (+) and (-) are relative to baseline Clan military production, not technical sophistication:
Arcadia:
(+) Blood Spirit - Their cooperative approach leaves them with early advantages in Clan history, which they share. Their decline, especially at the hands of Clans Burrock and Mongoose, is that much more bitter
Ghost Bear - Mediocre performance, with moderate infrastructural damage. Their lower caste tolerance helped their long-term success
Star Adder - Poor performance, requiring years to recover
(-) Steel Viper - Aggressive performance cost them moderately, but infrastructure and population largely intact, Kinnison’s attempt to kill Winson left a lingering distraction for her Clan
Babylon: (Babylon was a better prize)
(-) Cloud Cobra - Significant losses to ground forces, civilian unrest, and a purge of half their abtakha ground forces for not embracing the Way of the Clans. Their scientist caste still produced spectacular innovations
Coyote - Moderate performance, reasonably little infrastructure damage
Ice Hellion - Moderate performance, few casualties. However, the civil war fought over saKhan Moore's use of stimulants cost the Clan dearly, including their best minds in bio-medical engineering (even by FM:CC, they could not manage the Elemental phenotype). Still, the Clan's materials scientists pioneered several Clan-standard improvements
Sea Fox - Mediocre performance, harsh in combat, but incorporating Nasagawa's lower caste tolerance, the Sea Foxes rebound well.
Circe
(+) Mongoose - Performed well, little infrastructure damage
(+) Nova Cat - Performed well, little infrastructure damage.
(-) Snow Raven - Poor performance, profited from circumstances
Wolverine - Moderate performance, Annihilated
Dagda: (Dagda is a poorer prize)
Burrock - Performed adequately well, albeit slowly and steadily.
(-) Fire Mandrill - Performed poorly, very poor cohesion.
(-) Goliath Scorpion - Mediocre performance, exacerbated by limited conquests after Satan’s Table trap
Jade Falcon - Performed well, but limited involvement. Later culling significantly distracted and made the Clan even more hide-bound
(-) Widowmaker - Moderate performance, but with massive infrastructural damage
Wolf - Performed well, but limited involvement
Eden
Hell’s Horses - Performed well, but limited involvement
Jade Falcon - Performed well, but culling/conservative approach distract from KLONDIKE gains
(-) Smoke Jaguar - Performed well, but infrastructure destruction
(+) Wolf - Performed well
Refit BattleMechs are most likely produced by all Clans. Richer and average Clans deploy the most refits. Refit may be so common in richer Clans, they may even appear in garrisons in significant numbers. Poorer Clans also use refits for their vanguard units, even if they cannot afford many of them.

LNC-25-1 Lancelot Refit: please see TRO:GC for the canon Lancelot C, introduced by Clan Fire Mandrill.
Another refit that is practical for Clans with limited facilities, the Lancelot C (2822) Class A refit is based on both the LNC-25-1 and the later Lancelot C (Standard) found in TP:Tokasha. However, the 2822 model is price, incorporating a trio of Improved PPCs. This is a recent addition:

8) the Archer C is perfect it incorporates everything that makes CBT such a rich and cool game. A total fine Wolf Dragoon Archer...
The Lancelot got me, 3 PPCs on a 6/9 heavy mech... that's a wet dream - hell the Clans didn't need any of their superfine fragile Omni Mech stuff - this Lancelot would have ruled the IS in 3050.
The Bombardier is nice - true to his name and finally its not just the ugly archer anymore.
Thx for sharing

Thank you, I feel similarly about them, and I will share some more.
Please remember, though, the weapon systems mounted on these designs are inferior to the Clan-standard. For instance, the Improved PPC has a minimum range of 90 meters, so maneuvering the Lancelot into optimal range can be key. It also delivers only 10 damage. In all ways, the Clan-spec Large Pulse Laser is a better weapon, so this earlier Lancelot C is decidedly inferior to the Lancelot C (Standard) from TP:Tokasha. Likewise, Clan Improved LRMs still have a 180-meter minimum range, so the Bombardier C is virtually defenseless against the wrong opponent.

Five years later Clan Coyote used their stockpiles of restored CRD-2R Crusaders as showpieces for their newly unveiled, smaller double-strength heat sinks, and proved CASE. Without a ready supply of Clan-spec Streak SRMs, the designs left the original Streak systems, and upgraded the LRMs to Clan-specification LRM20, removed the FCS, and upgraded the Medium Lasers to Medium Pulse Lasers. The labor required for the heat sinks makes this a Class D refit:

A year later, Clan Coyote modified their Refit kit. Still A Class D refit, the CRD-CC2 began seeing service. This model discards the hands and most of left over CRD-2R components in favor of paired Clan-spec ER Large and Medium Lasers. Extra tonnage is freed by replacing the armor with Clan-spec Ferro-fibrous, taken from Clan Ice Hellion (or was it Snow Raven?). This model drops the hand actuators:

EXT-4D Exterminator Refit: Please see TRO:GC for the canon Early Clan “EC” refit of the Exterminator.
A Class C Refit kit became available to improve the EXT-4D Exterminator's Medium Range weapons. This variant also replaces the LRMs with SRMs. The chance for a quick-strike kill with this Striker/Skirmisher/Headhunter may be improved, but at the cost of all long-range combat potential:

GRF-1N Griffin Refits:
This upgrade is intended to bridge the gap between the GRF-1N and the Griffin IIC.
In the aftermath of KLONDIKE, the Clans began the long process of repairs, while some Clans divided Pentagon combatants that had successfully completed reeducation. The GRF-1N Griffin, a common middle-weight fire support BattleMech, was sufficiently plentiful to warrant upgrading the salvage. A Class D refit, the Griffin C (2822) improves armor with Ferro-Fibrous, swaps the PPC for a Clan Improved Large Laser (allowing this Griffin C to defend itself in case the adversary got too close), and used the free weight to add LRMs:

STN-3Lb Sentinel Refit:
The original Star League Sentinel is designed for scouting/scout head-hunting, light defense, and infantry support. The STN-3Lb Sentinel, on the other hand, has enough punch to work as a sniper. Clan Hell's Horses saw the potential of upgrading the royal variant with a Class C refit kit, featuring their new Clan-spec LB-20X. This Horse 'Mech may be rare, but it is a potent anti-armor head hunter for its size.

ON1-K Orion Refits:
Clan Wolf (+) has long been possessive of the Kerensky heritage. This guarded attitude intensified after the death of Anderey Kerensky. Shortly after Operation KLONDIKE, Clan Wolf consolidated its hold on the Kerensky legacy with Trials and trades intended to secure their standing. One of the focuses of their Trials was salvage ON1-K Orion BattleMechs. Securing these treasures, Clan Wolf devoted every effort to their maintenance and upgrade, including allocating precious factory space.
Clan Wolf produced two factory refit upgrades of the ON1-K, both Class E modifications of the original. Both add CASE protection to preserve their numbers. Both Clan upgrades attempt to bridge between the ON1-K and the later Orion IIC:

HER-1Sb Hermes Refit:
Like Clan Wolf with the Orion, Clan Ice Hellion sought as many light- and medium-class BattleMechs in the aftermath of KLONDIKE as they could acquire. Their initial gains were offset by their de facto civil war between Khan Stephan Cage and saKhan Lucius Moore (which cost Clan Ice Hellion half of their Warriors), reducing their number of MechWarriors, and thereby reducing the number of 'Mechs required for day-to-day operations.
After the civil war was over, Khan Cage purged the biomedical scientist caste, a setback that plagued Clan Ice Hellion until their Absorption in the 31st Century. However, Ice Hellion materials scientists were relatively unscathed, and produced phenomenal advances in Clan-standard equipment and construction. Clan Ice Hellion began capitalizing on these gains as their Touman again began to grow in the late 2830s.
Though never in massive numbers compared with the original HER-1S, small numbers of Royal HER-1Sb BattleMechs did survive the Hellion civil war. These BattleMechs were upgraded with new Clan technology in a Class C refit in 2830:

KNT-19b Kintaro Refit: Please see TRO:GC for canon, production models of the Naja, a Medium brawler introduced by Clan Cloud Cobra
While it took longer for Clan Ice Hellion to produce upgrade refit kits for the Hermes, Clan engineers focused their efforts on the Kintaro, noted for its use of Narc and cooperative warfare favored by the Ice Hellions. The effort was aided by Clan Hell's Horses, who also had interest in Narc-capable units. The collaboration resulted in a pair of upgrade kits, both Class C refits. However, the initial numbers of KNT-19b BattleMechs surviving Operation KLONDIKE make both of these upgrades rare.

HSR-200-D Hussar Refits:
Blessed with mountains of HSR-200-D Hussar parts and salvage (but few left standing), Clan Ice Hellion's need for BattleMechs became sufficiently desperate following the purging of saKhan Moore's followers to prompt the Clan to revisit this fragile BattleMech. By replacing the ER Large Laser with Clan Improved ER Medium Lasers, the Hellions freed mass to add protection. Additionally, having just improved upon MASC technology, Clan Ice Hellion added MASC to the Class D refit. This Hussar C (2822) is capable of speeds approaching 200 km/h:

However, not content to produce under-gunned, fast scout BattleMechs, Clan Ice Hellion updated their refit kit to a Class C kit with newly manufactured Clan-spec ER Large Lasers. While this later upgrade kit may have been easier to perform, its armor is again paper-thin, but this can be mitigated by conducting Trials at extreme ranges:

I might stop here for the weekend. I have under two dozen more refits. Then I think I will start a new thread with new production, including write-ups.
So far, what do you think?

Hi All, here are a few more refit kits.
SHD-2H Shadow Hawk refits:
The plentiful Shadow Hawk had a modest refit available by 2822. This refit replaces the AC/5 with an prototype LB 5-X, and the LRM-5 with a Clan Improved LRM-5. With the mass savings MechWarriors have an additional ton of LB ammunition, allowing Warriors to taylor there ammunition to their target. The extra ammo makes this a Class C refit:

With greater stability after the Post-KLONDIKE Thamzing, and reeducation proceeding, some Clans had already begun reaching a new equilibrium by 2823. As a way to integrate their new populations, several Clans repaired manufacturing facilities, putting Laborers, Technicians, and Scientists back to work. One of the early Class E refits emerging from these factories was another upgrade to the Shadow Hawk. (This one bridges the gap between the SHD-2H and the Shadow Hawk IIC.)

SCP-1N Scorpion Refit:
Even in Clan society, where "waste not, want not" is one of the overriding ideals, few Warriors would choose the SCP-1N over demotion to a non-Warrior caste. Still, the potential evasiveness of the SCP-1N, especially for lateral maneuvers, and its speed are resources Khan Elam could not ignore. Collecting unwanted Scorpion salvage, Khan Elam authorized the Scientist caste to use them as testbeds. With testing nearing completion, upgraded Scorpions were then deployed (rarely), introducing Clan Goliath Scorpion’s new Clan-standard LB 2-X autocannon, its newly introduced Ultra Autocannon/2, and confidentially, the upgraded Scorpion also introduced prototypes of the Clan-spec Active Probe. Warriors assigned to these Scorpions were tasked with reconnaissance and surveillance. Long range sniping was discouraged, but allowed as circumstances dictated.
The Scorpion C remained beneath the notice of other Clans, allowing Clan Goliath Scorpion to conceal the development of its new Active probe for five years.

Please note, I designed the “upgraded” Scorpion C as a dedicated scouting/spotting/sniper intermediate between the original SCP-1N and the Fire Scorpion Clan BattleMech. Since Clan Goliath Scorpion has its fingers in reconnaissance and developed the UAC/2, LB-2X, and the Active Probe, I thought the convergence of all these systems in a reconnaissance proto-Fire Scorpion was an elegant solution.

WVR-6R Wolverine Refit:
Before their demise, Clan Wolverine produced a Class D (repair bay) refit kit of the WVR-6R Wolverine to strengthen their Touman with newly developed Enhanced PPCs. These kits, as well as remaining WVR-6R salvage, were abandoned after the Annihilation.

TDR-5S Thunderbolt Refits:
The sturdy, ubiquitous Thunderbolt was another BattleMech upgraded by Kerensky's Clans in the aftermath of Operation: KLONDIKE. The first of the Thunderbolt upgrades is a Class D refit, replacing Star League missile systems for Improved Clan models, and using the extra tonnage to replace the Large Laser with an Improved Large Pulse Laser, the Medium Lasers with Prototype Clan ER Medium Lasers, and the Heat Sinks to double-strength:

Four years later, two competing factory upgrade kits debuted among the Clans. The first (by weeks) was the Thunderbolt C 2 from Clan Coyote. The primary upgrade replaces the LRM-15 with Clan Coyote's new Clan-standard LRM-15, and the SRMs to an Improved SRM-6. The armor and structure is refitted to accept newly produced standard CASE baffles. This is a Class E Refit:

The final Thunderbolt upgrade is also an Class E Refit. Clan Jade Falcon's factory refit, produced on Ironhold, replaces the machine guns and medium lasers with newly improved Clan-standard ER Medium Lasers and ER Small Lasers. The Thunderbolt also has more punch - Clan Jade Falcon added the Not-Named Clan's Enhanced PPCs in place of the Large Laser. Inner Sphere CASE is refitted to allow this Thunderbolt to survive an ammunition explosion, too:

OTL-4D Ostsol Refit:
Another showcase for Clan Nova Cat's (+) advances in Large Laser technology, the Cats acquired a moderate stockpile of Ostsol parts and salvage after KLONDIKE.

WVE-5N Wyvern Refit:
The loadout of the Wyvern C (2827) is designed to bridge the gap between the WVE-5N and the Wyvern IIC. However, the latency between the end of hostilities on Dagda and Clan Fire Mandrill's introduction of the Clan-standard flamer forced me to make another step along the way...
When Clan Burrock had found the cache that became Manzikert, their long affinity for this versatile urban striker had been well established. Using Improved materials in a Class D refit kit allowed the Burrocks to deploy the Wyvern extensively in urban patrol and suppression after KLONDIKE:

For Warriors assigned to urban environments, the Wyvern C (2822) was well liked, but it still lacked a touch of drama. The Burrocks found their perfect touch in the newly developed Clan-spec flamer made across Dagda in the continent Salò by Clan Fire Mandrill. While the disorganized Mandrills were still debating and fighting over how to use their technological prize, Clan Burrock Trialed for (and won) schematics and production rights. They then updated their Class D refit kit with the new flamer. The first combat deployment of the Clan-spec flamer was on a Burrock Wyvern C (2827):

MCY-99 Mercury Refits:
A capable light BattleMech with a loadout featuring lasers, Clan improvements in laser technology allowed the Mercury to swap the Martell Medium Lasers and Hessen Small Lasers for their Improved Clan equivalents. This swap was even easier than planned, because the semi-modular lasers mounted on the Mercury were removed with ease. Installing the new lasers, on the other hand, was a nightmare compared with the ease of Mercury maintenance.
This field refit kit, Class A, became available before the end of the campaign in 2822:

Learning from their mistakes, a subsequent upgrade kit was made available. This time the models of Improved lasers more readily mimicked the size, shape, and leads of the Martells and Hessens.

The result was a Class D refit that saved sufficient space and mass to install jump jets, giving this new "CHP-2S" Champion a 90-meter jump, sufficient to surprise an opponent or clear small obstacles:

HBK-4G Hunchback Refit:
The Hunchback C described here incorporates aspects of both the HBK-4G and the Hunchback IIC. It is meant as a (short-lived) stepping stone between the two BattleMechs.
While not beloved, the venerable Hunchback was a powerful urban brawler with great punch in the form of a KaliYama Big Bore Autocannon/20. Before commencing with Operation: KLONDIKE, the Clans had made available a Class D refit kit in cases of urban combat and siege. This refit made the Hunchback that much more frightening with a prototype Ultra Autocannon/20. Combined with new jump jets, the Hunchback C (2821) was a deadly adversary in Pentagon cities:

After the conclusion of KLONDIKE, new refit kits for the Hunchback C were discontinued, with the design revisited in new production a few decades later (as a way for Warriors to find honorable death on the battlefield).

GLT-3N Guillotine Refit:
Another modest Class C refit, the Clans produced another kit for the Guillotine simply replaced the SRM launcher with an improved model, and replaced the large laser with a Clan Improved Large Laser, using the freed mass and space for a single heat sink. Clan Star Adder in particular coveted the Guillotine C because their skilled technicians found they could replace the laser and heat sink in the field (Class A refit) by instead removing the heat sink and using an Insulated Clan Improved Large Laser, but at risk for damaging the laser from use:

WHM-6R Warhammer Refit:
In an attempt to deploy their new PPC technology broadly and prepare for ever increasing hostilities and rivalries within Clan Space, Clan Wolverine produced a Class A refit kit of the Warhammer BattleMech that would be refitted in the field, or by crews working to cobble together old salvage. The kit replaces the Donal PPCs with Enhanced PPCs, and the Magna Small Lasers with spare prototype ER Small Lasers. While improving hitting power, this rushed refit did nothing to aid in the paucity of armor, and it worsened the Warhammer's heat management. This short-lived upgrade was not adopted after the Annihilation of Clan Wolverine:

STK-3F Stalker Refits:
One of the most common Assault BattleMechs, the steady (if not flashy) Stalker was highly regarded by Khan Absalom Truscott of Clan Star Adder. His successor, Khan Devon LeFabre, also appreciated the Stalker, not only for its rugged and consistent performance, but also for the numbers available, a resource that could be utilized by the Adders in their rebuilding attempts after Operation KLONDIKE's casualties.
The Adders produced two upgrade kits for the Stalker. The first, a Class C refit, removes two Magna Medium Lasers, replaces the Jackson B5c LRM-10 launcher with newly Improved Clan LRM-20 launchers with Artemis IV FCS, and installs perfected Streak SRM-6 launchers for the Thunderstroke SRM-6 launchers, while adding a heat sink:

PXH-1 Phoenix Hawk Refits: Please see TRO:GC for the canon, Early Clan “EC” refit of the Phoenix Hawk.
Two refit kits also emerged for the PXH-1 Phoenix Hawk. The first, a discarded Class D refit produced by Clan Mongoose, may have inspired the later Phoenix Hawk IIC, but was never fielded, due to being significantly under-gunned. This prototype attempted to address the Phoenix Hawk's significant issues with overheating, and serve as a testbed for emerging improvements to size and mass of autocannons ongoing in Clan Mongoose's scientist caste. However, the combination of a single autocannon/5 with a machine gun, maneuverable as it was, simply could not be fielded in the Pentagon campaign:
