And now the second Academy Project mech:

Which one do you want to see as AP III?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
In May 3067 the graduating classes of the Luthien Acadamy Of Military Design
got a challenging task to accomplish.
They had to design a BattleMech with the latest CAD-technology and under
following terms:

1. Take a classic BattleMech design used in the 3rd Succession War.

2. Construct an OmniMech chassis upon this basis.

3. Suggest weapon configurations for that chassis; at least four but not more
than seven.
3. a) The primary configuration has to be based upon the original weapon
layout of the classic design.
3. b) If possible include following configuration types: city-fighter,
LRM-support, fire-support/sniper.

All OmniMechs were graded by a committee and  loaded into a battlefield
simulation program.

The SHD-O was presented by Student Yui Wong.


==Capabilities:==
The base design was constructed with the new and popular light engine and
EndoSteel wrapped in a shell of standard armor. Student Wong decided to put a
fixed jump jet system in to ease maintenance. This measures resulted in a 21
ton pod space.

The prime configuration tries to be very close to the original specifications.
The light gauss rifle gives it the tremendous range that the old AC/5 lost in
these days while lasers and SRM's form the close range firepower. An ECM
rounds out this configuration.
The A carries an unsuspected heavy weapon: An LB20-X!Supported by some ER
lasers and augmented by the integral jump jets and a C3-slave this weapon can
be very dangerous even to heavier foes.
Pulse lasers and streak missiles make the B configuration a dedicated street
fighter. Een though the targeting computer isn't able to guide pulse laser
fire to specific parts of an enemy mech it can negate the difficulty of a
jump.
The C carries an huge, Artemis supported LRM rack with an impressiv amount of
CASEd ammunition. Lasers and SRM's deliver defensiv firepower and a C3-slave
can link this mech into an appropriate network.
An ER-PPC plus targeting computer makes the D a much though of configuration.
The added C3-link will make this combination even more dangerous. The rest of
its weaponry consists of a short and a medium range missile rack as well as an
ER laser.

==Battle History:==
The trials in the academys battlefield simulation program revealed no real
problems.

Each configuration worked well within its intended role and especially the D
seemed to perform well beyond expectations.

Very nice conversion, but it should have been the Victor Wink

Prime configuration is a nice sniper which keeps with the spirit of the original. It may lack heavy firepower, but it won't be lost in almost any unit.

A combines a heavy short range firepower with the ability to call hits from the rest of C3 company on single target. Great cityfighter.

B is clearly a jumping jack. The problem is that under BV 2.0 it will be damn expensive.

C has a decent long range firepower and it can be used as a special ammo delivery system. Not bad, but usable in most situations, that's why the SHD is liked around the Inner Sphere.

D is a jack-of -all-trades. An useful config for most situations.

So I note: Victor: 1 Others: 0 8)
Thanks for the review! I'll wait some days for the next votes (if any!)
Till now I have put all my 3025 omnis into HMPro, a total of 344 mechs!
