Not really understanding why both ER and standard medium lasers. You really have enough heat sinks for all ER.

Also, Artemis IV on LRM-5 racks is something many would argue is a waste of tonnage, as it rarely adds enough damage to matter. You could use the tonnage to add a half ton of armor to maximize the coverage, and use the rest to add either a Beagle active probe or a Guardian ECM suite.

It looks like it can be effective as is, but potentially has room for changes.

some really good points, I think I will change this shortly, maybe I will make it a later date to make enhanced LRMS instead of Artemis IV FCS and add a light ppc.

Enhanced LRM’s would be a cool choice.
