Overview:
When the Ghost Bears relocated to their invasion corridor they did so with the knowledge
that they would have to prove their strength rather quickly. This sparked somewhat of an
arms race within the clan, many inner sphere designs were reworked due to cost effectiveness
but R&D came up with a few new uniquely Ghost Bear Designs.
The first of these, the Ursavus was designed to fill the role of the Cauldron Born in some
other clans, replacement of the aging Mad Cat chassis. The mobility and durability of the
Mad Cat has always been renowned. However, due to falling numbers and eventual equipment
fatigue associated with a 'mech as old as the Mad Cat the Ghost Bears thought it best to
come up with a new 'mech built along the same lines.
Capabilities:
The Ursavus Prime was designed with campaign in mind. As the Ghost Bears supply lines were
tied up in relocating the bulk of the Clan into the Inner Sphere. The accurate firing,
ammo-free, and mobile Ursus was the perfect design to field along the DCMS border where
conflict was predicted. While the Ursus was never tested severely the Ghost Bear pilots took
such a liking to it that it has been put into full production.
The Prime varient is focused upon efficiency above all else, and has proven its ability to
surgically destroy its opponents. It can fight from any range but excells at medium to long
range conflicts where its highly accurate fire is far superior than that of most other
'mechs.
Deployment:
The Ursus Prime is deployed along the Draconis Combine border primarily, but it is becoming
a more and more universal 'mech throughout the corridor.

Comment:
The basic chassis is not bad, although I do have to raise a fairly obvious question: why not just keep making Timber Wolves instead of investing R&D into a new design which is so similar functionally?
The weapons load-out here is problematic though; first, you've got the pulse-TC munch factor, and also, your heat brackets dont' make a lot of sense. As another reviewer already pointed out, the LPLs and ERMLs have fairly similar ranges, but you don't have the heat sinks for alpha striking. Still, I'll give it a higher rating than others have for the chassis itself, which is sound, if a little redundant.

Comment:
A sniping timberwolf clone ? For most people, the range of the ERL and LP is almost too close and can be used together which is what i guess you were thinking off.
However, the mech runs too hot ! Your lasers deal goody damage and deadly accurate but your cooling capacity can't keep up, which means 1 large ER laser is going to be quiet for a loooong time.

Comment:
Build an Omnimech along the lines of Timber Wolf? This is not an improvement, this is a copy. The bears don't need to build a 'Mech like this one they may build already proven predecessor, without the need for testing, and equip it with up to date technologies. Already existing designs are probably undergoing regular overhauls, so they probably never reached the state of disrepair common in Inner Sphere during SW era.
The configuration itself isn't bad, but there are some problems. The lasers can cause a lot of damage and thanks to the TC it may target already damaged locations or hit elusive targets. Pulse lasers can no longer be used to make aimed shots, but accurate firepower is still handy. The problem with lasers is the heat they produce. Even fifteen double heat sinks can't deal with the heat produced by the large lasers. Firing them produces enough additional heat to shut the 'Mech down or slow it down a lot. So one of the lasers is redundant.
This machine needs changes.

Runs too hot. The four big lasers pump out 44 heat. Far more than your miserable 15 DHS can handle comfortably..
And like SD says, tag comps and pulse lasers don't work well together no more (i'm taking you at your word SD!!)
Tell me, what can this do that the Timber Wolf can't?
It's so pointless its ridiculous.
