Overview:
    The AS8-IPD2 Atlas.  For quite some time this was IPD's flagship line breaker.  It was an
    Atlas, but better.  And to be fair, lessons learned in its development and use have carried
    over to a significant number of other IPD mech designs.

Capabilities:
    This Atlas was based on the AS7-D, the poster child of Atlas design for centuries.  Though
    lost media at this point, the original promotional advertismemts for the AS8-IPD even
    followed Kerensky's original specifications for the Atlas.
    
    In all ways possible the AS8-IPD2 is an improvement over the original.  The Autocannon
    recieved a tech upgrade.  The LRM was replaced with easier to maintain box launchers with
    enhanced fields of fire and multi target capabilities.  The Lasers were rehoused for better
    protection and use in close quarters combat.  Additional small lasers were included for CQB
    as well.  And most importantly TSM was included.  The only system that didnt receive an
    upgrade was the SRM, and thats only because Artemis intergration proved to be too difficult.

Variants:
    Early on there was an AS8-IPD version 1.  It was largely the same save for the LBx cannon
    was a Heavy Gauss Rifle.  Conflicts between target acquisition at knife fighting range and
    the mechs propensity to want to fight at knife fighting range thanks to the TSM quickly
    ended that phase of development.
    
    In more recent years, the AS9-IPD has replaced the older AS8s.
