Impressive, especially for lvl 1 tech. I'm not getting close to one of these - ever.
But as a Chaos March 'Mech, it's still big and expensive. It'll do very well on the battlefield, but not in the market.

The weapons are just a little monotonous for my liking, but otherwise its fine (deadly on close range).

I was thinking more about the cost making it somewhat rare. As you mention, it's a commander's/warlord's 'Mech, not quite a line 'Mech.

CHeck out the Lineholder and its fluff.
People from the Chaos March were ordering this 4.5 mil c-bill mech daily (fluffwise that is from the TRO). The Chaos March aint as poor as you think.

Strapped for cash as the Chaos March is, no one's going to buy a useless 'Mech, no matter how cheap it is. 1/2? I don't think so. It's about equal to the 'Mechs whose sole armament consists of RLs. A one shot 'Mech. No offense, but this is more of a no-shot 'Mech. Chaos March or no, I doubt that they're so primitive as to have been reduced to using IC engines in BattleMechs.

True, but remember that these are individual planets that are buying these. Selling twenty of them, one or two per planet, will be a financial disaster for any company since they have to make up for manufacturing costs, the price of a new assembly plant (or pay to retool an existing one), R&D costs, etc.
I would try downsizing it, and removing some of those Medium Lasers.

| exactly its not a mass for sale mech, the company can be just selling as much as 1 lance worth and forget it. Remember Kressly is relying on its daily Lineholder sales until the end of 3067 to survive, they can have something to fall back on.
