Not the worst use of XL on a mech. The 38 hex range will get attention.

It kinda defeats the original low cost design goal though.

Is it low cost for that decade?

You mean the original, or this model? XL is never low cost anyway. Not even relatively.

I think he means relative to other designs of the era. For example, you can't compare the cost of a BMW today to the cost of a Model-T back in the day. So looking at the unit list for other 55 ton designs of the Jihad era, it is one of the cheapest!

I know the designs of the post Jihad Era and they all cost way too much. No wonder they can't field an army of any size really. That's why I said that XL is never cheap and not even relatively. Here it at least isn't wasted on nothing at all, but that doesn't make it cheap.
