================================================================================================
Overview:
Because of the impressive production of Ceres Metals Industries, the Vindicator has become a
common 'Mech in the units of the Capellan Confederation. Though the Vindicator's
capabilities might not justify such wide deployment, the design does have many advantages.
The recovery of Star League technology has given Ceres Metals a chance to correct many
faults of the company's biggest product.
Perhaps the biggest problem for the VND-1R has been heat buildup. Ceres Metals
engineers plan to install double heat sinks, giving the VND-3L model greatly improved
ability to dissipate heat, despite the removal of one heat sink. The problem of ammunition
explosions is being addressed with the incorporation of Cellular Ammunition Storage
Equipment for the missile reloads.
The weapons will also be upgraded, according to the latest version of the plans, with a
pulse laser replacing the medium laser in the head and a Ceres Arms Warrior Extended-Range
Particle Projection Rifle replacing the older Smasher model in the Vindicator's right arm.
This design drops the Hessen Small Laser formerly carried in the left arm.

Comment:
A relativly cheap and easy to do refit without a dangerous XL, FF or ES (think of it: Its Liao before Xin Sheng). The fine weapon mix from the -1R got a decent upgrade and a CASE saves the CC from a greater loss in case of an ammo-explosion. I can see only two little flaws in this one: Ammo and CASE are sitting in the wrong torso so an explosion would left it with only one medium pulse laser, and it is oversinked.

Just like with the Panther the Vindicator's main problem becomes it's speed. The Confederation can still rely on Vindy for defensive actions or they can simply let it keep the enemy busy until they concentrate enough firepower in the area to deal with the enemy, but it can't keep pace with lighter elements of Liao armies. In case that the enemy is kept busy by other 'Mechs the Vindicator can deal loads of damage thanks to it's far reaching weapons and double heat sinks from relative safety, but I wouldn't try to confront a Warhammer directly. The MPL is a good tool to fend off the backbiting lights. This is a workhorse usable in almost any type of unit that the Confederation can field, just don't overestimate it. One of the best things in the old 3050 TRO.

This mech annoys me because House Liao has a design which will kick my Panthers in the teeth every time I try to fight them.
I'd argue its few faults are slow speed and too many heat sinks.
To fix it, I'd drop 4 heat sinks and a half ton of armour to move it to 5/8/5 without a ton of problems.
As it stands its still one of the premier filler mechs that Liao can use to pummel anyone stupid enough to fight it. Fights well in the Heavy companies it will frequent the most.

Endo and or FF would work well here to gain a little extra tonnage for upping the LRM size or any of several other small improvements, but as is it is cheap and effective.

A nice upgrade. The loss of the small laser is no big deal, the thing was near worthless, anyway. The LRMs will give a punch, not a strong one, but youll know the mech is there. The ER PPC is a little more useful for ranged fights, in my opinion. The pulse laser will give a good account of itsefl in a close in fight. This guy is going to be very useful against lighter designs, but will be of limited use against heavier designs.
