======================================================================================
Overview:
The lowly rat, generally meaning someone small and expendable, has brought Long
Range Ballistic Missiles back into the fight. His job is to use his high speed and
jump capabilities to 'mark' the enemy targets for the LRMs to pound into scrap.
Secondary mission is to plant 'Haywires' on the enemy to foul up his targeting
ability.
Capabilities:
The iNARC is the Primary 'weapon' of the C-RT, used to flag targets for Long Range
fire, and to create mayhem with enemy electronics. The twin X-Pulse Medium Lasers
give him teeth in case he gets cornered. The iNARC and it's nastier loads are
protected in CASE boxes so the Rat can even survive hits to his ammo bins. Heat is
NOT an issue with the 10 Dble Heat Sinks and no heat from the Primary Weapon. The
Guardian Suite helps with the battlefield chaos by getting in the way of enemy
equipment as the Rat bounces around.
Deployment:
Generally deployed with one 'heavy' for protection and 2 or 3 LRM capable units,
in either a 4 Unit Lance, or a 5 Unit Star.
Variants:
The iNARC Ammo Bins can be changed out to set up different load combos for
different situations. With 3 separate Ammo Bins, the Rat could carry as many as 12
reloads of anything the iNARC can fire. Practically, only 8 reloads of Explosive
rounds would be carried in the CASE boxes. For some real battlefield confusion,
use loads of Nemesis against enemy LRMs, with ECMs to place them in their own 'ECM
Bubbles', or mix in the Haywires for a little more fun.

I think that most of the time you're going to need at least two tons of homing beacons and then hope for the best with the last ton of ammo. 4 shots can be easily donked unless you stop and make a target of yourself. At least the chassis can survive that. Remaining armament is nothing to write home about, but at least it won't get you that much attention. _________________ The dragon NEVER sleeps!

Very nice iNARC deployment package. Though it isn't exactly cheap and expendable!
Some of the touches I most enjoy:
- (just) enough reloads. Many iNARC carriers out there only have 2 tons of ammo, which I think is at least one too few
- TC for the dual XMPL. Great investment at efficient tonnage
I think the biggest quibble I have is with the side torso armor - I'd probably place on point from each side front to the rear.
Nice package and best of all...
