I was bored again.

This thing's really got one thing going for it: It's fast. Really fast. Locust-ha-more-like-Slowcust fast.

Type/Model:    Little Bird MK IX
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 2239
Config:        V.T.O.L.
Rules:         Level 1, Custom design

Mass:          10 tons
Power Plant:   60 Various I.C.E.
Cruise Speed:  118.8 km/h
Maximum Speed: 183.6 km/h
Armor Type:    Simple Armor Plate Standard
Armament:      
  1 20mm Gatling Gun Machine Gun 
Manufacturer:  Various
  Location:    Various
Communications System:  Various
Targeting & Tracking System:  Various

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Possibly one of the oldest vehicle designs in the Inner Sphere, the Little
Bird MK IX is also one of the most common, due to its easy maintenance, low
cost, and simple mass-production.

==Capabilities:==
The Little Bird is designed for one purpose only: to quickly insert and
extract squads of infantry. To accomplish this, the Little Bird is extremely
fast, almost to the point of excess. Unfortunately, speed is almost the only
defense the vehicle has, as it only carries a Machine Gun for weaponry, and
mounts an almost laughable amount of armor.

You might want to go with a .5 ton infantry bay if you are modeling it off of the current Little Bird used by the Special Ops teams seems to only carry four guys plus two pilots.

But other then that suggestion it looks good.

You do seem to get bored often.

I like it. Fast, cheap, and good for its job.

Just one thing.

I take it you haven't met the 5M Locust. The one that moves 12/18. Of course, this is level 1, but it'll still be around by 3067.
