================================================================================================
Overview:
Originally fielded by the Star Adders, the Blood Asp quickly proved itself to be a capable
weapons platform and anchor for heavier star formations. One of the Clans who developed an
interest with this design was the Ghost Bears. Ghost Bear units typically stray from the
rest of the clans in regards to size, they prefer units that are heavier, yet still retain a
strong mobility, traits that the Blood Asp exemplifies.
This design expands upon the some of the better capabilities demonstrated by other Blood Asp
designs. The Ghost Bears put it into use along the border of the Dominion to take advantage
of the range advantage that it has over its typical Inner Sphere counterpart.
Capabilities:
The Blood Asp G accentuates the long to medium range capabilities boasted by the Blood Asp
while still retaining its stature as a powerhouse of a weapons platform. The "G" has heat
problems that can tend to get in the way of things, but since the Border Worlds tend to run
a little colder that hasn't been a huge problem.
Perhaps the best use of the Blood Asp G is as a command 'mech, where it can fill a variety
of rolls while the rest of the unit may operate in a more specialized manner. It is the
perfect anvil to use as a counterpart to a hammer composed of some heavy 'mechs and a decent
long range support 'mech where the commander may utilize its formidable firepower wherever
it is needed.
Deployment:
The Blood Asp G sees the most deployment along the Dominion's common border with the
Draconis Combine but its usefulness is gaining it popularity along the Clan Wolf front in
limited numbers.

Comment:
You can't change the type of armor or move ES/FF crits around the omnimech, so this 'Mech is not a Blood Asp, but I'll still use the original 'Mech for comparison.
Just like the BA prime the 'Mech puts a lot of tonnage to weapons that won't last due to the amount of ammo carried. You'll soon have only the lasers and 26 tons of dead weight (28 actually, because half of your medium lasers must be silent, or you are going to overheat). That's bad. I think that the 'Mech may shine in a trial, where it may crush single opponent (there is still a question whether the opponent won't do the same to you), but when battling multiple enemies you'll probably have to retreat or fall, because the other weapons are not strong enough. Look at Warhawk prime to see what does a death incarnate look like.

Well for a Clan command variant of the Blood Asp, i expect more endurance. Once your ammo is gone, you are just a slower, bigger and heavier Ryoken.
I would kill off 2 med lasers just for another extra 2 tons of ammo. This also reduces the amount of heat you must compensate.
Actually after removing 2 er med lasers, you can even kill more heatsinks for ammo ! The extra ammo will do well against long missions against DCMS.

Comment:
This 'mech reminds me of a Masakari without the targeting computer. The pulse lasers and gause rifles are well suited for long-range combat, and the medium lasers make it a dangerous opponent to close with as well.
Two criticisms hold me back from rating this as being better than an average clan assault 'mech though:
1) seriously limited Gauss rifle ammunition. Once that ammo runs out, you've got firepower no better than a Ryoken, and nowhere near the speed.
2) no electronics suite of any kind. An ECM is always a good thing for a 'mech expecting to face C3 linked Draconis Combine units to carry. The ECM would also impede the Artemis equipped LRM boats that are likely to be the Inner Sphere response to this kind of assault 'mech.
