I remember fighting this before... It may not look much but at first glance, but this is a thinking man's AC.
At a straight out damage race, it won't do much. The very least it can do is buy itself some time by scaring off close-range, high-damage dealing ACs with its EOs + Rifle + GLL combo to back opponents off at close ranges.
Primary damage dealers are the LADON for anyone attempting to get close (including OB rushers and arial units trying to close the distance, the LADON's heat is usualy enough to penalize such attempts), while the 93LR + R3 is good enough for mid to long range general usage.
Comments? The armor is a little lacking for its weight class, but the amount of weapons might overshadow that weakness (depending on how you use them). The AC works best in non-open maps with low obstacles where it can anticipate enemy attacks and position properly in conjunction with the STING's radar.
Pros: Design is appropriate for most engadgements. Adequate weapons for different area types (maybe excluding wide open areas against faster opponents).
Weaknesses: Cannot last long in a damage race situation at close range (it banks it all on 8 shots of the GLL, after that its all up to the pilot's skill in evading), fairly small general use lockbox. Also a bit complicated to use, involving using the right weapons at the right siuation (lots of weapon juggling involved)
Recomendations:
I have a few, but I trust your judgement to be more suited to your taste.
Slight revision on my part
