I mentioned this in another thread and got a PM asking for it's stats, so here they are. It is made for a group I made up, that I haven't shared the fiction of, so I am leaving out it's fluff, because it really wouldn't make a lot of sense without it. I'll eventually edit it, down the road, when I get around to sharing the fluff for the whole faction.

Designed to to accompany battle armored troops into battle, the Enforcer drone is a tiny, slow moving VTOL, with an armored shell that renders it all but immune to small arms fire thanks to it's BAR 10 and the properties of Ferro-Lamellor armor.
It's low speed was chosen to match battle armor speeds, since it was intended to accompany those squads, I felt saving the weight would be more useful than a faster engine; and though speed could improve the design, I feel satisfied with it's low speed.
It's designed as an omni so it's weapons can be configured differently. The Mauser 1200 LSS was chosen because I was imagining this strafing infantry, and partly because I needed to use up weight. The Grenades Launchers, and the compact grenade launchers on the Mauser 1200 LSS, are there both as an AoE weapon and as a utility, for smoke munitions (or anything else you can load into them). If I had had more space I would have also put a Searchlight on it as well, but the ferro-lamellor armor used enough space that I couldn't... it is worth it though.
Designed with a combination of "battle armor sized drone" and "make a nasty fight for some A Time of War players" in mind, in my experience it functions wonderfully for it's purpose.
I have never gotten around to calculating it's c-bill cost, or it's battle value, but in a mech fight, I am not so sure it is worth much at all, so /shrug. Approximately 4 mech scale damage, at infantry ranges, and being destroyed by 3-4 or more damage, at slow speeds. Still, I am fairly certain if you matched weight with a swarm of these versus a mech, it would probably be painful for the mech, but most AoE will eat them alive.
The part of the design that amuses me the most: the Mauser 1200 has vibroblades, so this silly thing can even just stab you.
