Kurita IlClan Catapult
« on: 03 January 2023, 15:59:34 »
I think it came out pretty well.
I HATE mixing tech and view it as only the mean to circumvent a dead end using purely inner sphere tech.
I couldn´t fit the IS GR in the design and have enough space or tonnage left so I went with the clan version.
Since only two tons were left I went with the clan ER Medium laser which you can use for zero heat buildup if switching the null signature system off. Chassis and engine are purely IS tech.

Feels wrong to have a Catapult without JJs... :(

True, but it is faithful to the K2 and K2K in that sense—though I believe some later Kuritan PPC-pults did bring the jets back.

Ah. I'd forgotten the K2 dropped the JJs.
