You need a better function that the one you listed. Otherwise, people won't know what to look for when they do a critique.

Again I designed it on the fly as a simple yet effective light mech. Other than that it really don't matter lol. I didn't even care about the fluff. I was just sitting here cleaning out the post queue and had HMPro opened to one of my other designs and started a new one. Design LITERALLY was a half a minute long. I'll work up better fluff for it later, if I feel like it. But it is what it is, a fast jumping scout that can do a little damage.

Yes, why yes it can
Too bad I only had room for less than maximum jump capacity :/ but 7 is plenty. If you can't jump up a cliff with 7 jump, its a DAMN big cliff

Among the positives are armament and speed, but the armor is a little light (No gauss survivor, but otherwise fine) and it doesn't have anything from my beloved EW stuff. Second thing would be that I can have almost three LCTs for this price.
So it seems that it's good for big and well trained units of successor states, otherwise they'll buy something else (Assassin?).

Have you ever seen a light able to take much in the way of Gauss hits? And no, if you want an EW unit take a Raven as for who would use this, I was thinking along the lines of Davion Guard Units.

RVN is quite slow, I would prefer something faster. And some lights can at least run away if gauss hits them. If it had 10 points of armor on legs and side torsos (one less MG) than it would be able fade away after gauss hit (five theoretically ) if given chance...

True hehehe, But then again I'm so used to playing with MaxTech move modifiers that when I use something like this as it was intended it don't get hit by anything except hidden units ambushing it lol. Oh, and minefields.
