================================================================================================
Overview:
The Ghost GST-100M would be the greatest deviation yet seen in a Ghost variant. Earthwerks,
looking to fill the hole left by the lost domestic production of the Griffin, would design
and produce this version of the ghost independent of Defiance Industries. To do this they
would remove the Beagle Active Probe and MML 3's from the design, they would also utilize a
composite skeleton frame. This would free up enough space and tonnage for the design team to
mount 6 jump jets to the mech, vastly improving its mobility. The Light PPC's would be
supplemented by capacitors, while the medium laser of the original design would be replaced
by a medium-vsp-laser. The Guardian ECM would be upgraded to an Angel ECM and a 15th heat
sink would be added to the design allowing the GST-100M to sink 30. 10 tons of stealth armor
would be utilized to protect the mech. Initial reports received by customers were positive,
but only time would tell if this was to be a permanent new direction for the Ghost series or
not.

Hmmmm.
Its not a bad design by any means. If a bit fragile once the armor is breached.
Why not going with a single ERPPC w/ Cap, a standard MPL, and Endo-Composit? Gives a surprise head capper at 23 hexes that can still fire in close. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

Thanks,
I agree composite is a bit spicy, lol. Normally I wouldn't go for it but I think with the designs movement profile and the addition of Stealth Armor with Angel ECM, if any design can get away with it, its probably this one.
I did actually consider the ER PPC + cap when designing this variant, on the bases of being a head capper. I ended up discarding the idea for a handful of reasons. 1) With its 6/9/6 profile I think it has a good chance of working its way behind an opposing mech and firing into its rear arc, and I think the redundancy of the two capped lights work in its favor in this scenario. 2) It allowed me to create some separation from the Griffin. 3) Its a relatively familiar loadout that falls in line with the rest of the series (A paired set of primary weapons with some form of supplementary weapons to off-set or compliment them.
Appreciate the reach out, I think your the first person I've ever seen reply to any post on this channel (let alone mine)....ever lol.
