Overview:
In response to orders from General Aleksandr Kerensky for the production of a new medium
'Mech, Blue Shot Weaponry was awarded a contract in 2765 to build the Starslayer for the
SLDF. However, the numerous delays that plagued Blue Shot throughout the 'Mech's production
run prevented it from being built in great numbers. By the time the bugs had been worked
out, the SLDF was embroiled in the Amaris Civil War, and more Starslayers ended up in
storage than on front lines. These hidden Starslayers later became a boon to House and
mercenary units that stumbled on them. Recent versions of the Starslayer replace the
standard chassis with endo steel, making the 'Mech both lighter and sturdier.
Capabilities:
Built to be rugged and dependable, the Starslayer was intended for garrison, mop-up, and
recon duties. The designers at Blue Shot used well-established technologies in an effort to
make the Starslayer easy to maintain and to allow the 'Mech to remain in the field for long
periods. A Magna 250 engine makes the Starslayer as fast as most of the SLDF's medium
'Mechs, and jump jets give the Starslayer greater mobility. Ferro-fibrous armor provides the
Starslayer with maximum protection at a reduced weight which, when coupled with an endo
steel frame, allows the 'Mech to carry heavy weapons. Two large lasers give the Starslayer
its heavy firepower, backed up by two medium lasers and a small laser. To discourage enemy
'Mechs from attacking the rear of the Starslayer, the small laser fires into the 'Mech's
rear arc. An SRM-4 missile pack enables the Starslayer to engage in close fighting, and CASE
protects the pilot from ammo explosions.
Variants
Blue Shot Weapons offers a variant of the Starslayer known as the 3D model. The 3D drops
the torso mounted large laser, the SRM-4 with its ammo, and CASE in favor of an
extended-range PPC. The 3D also adds an extra double heat sink and replaces the rear firing
small laser with a medium laser.
Deployment:
Blue Shot has already completed three production runs of the new Starslayer 3C, and most of
these 'Mechs have been deployed with various militia units in the Lyran Alliance. Some have
also been sold to the Magistracy of Canopus and several mercenary units stationed in Lyran
Space.

This mech looses its crit seeker but also its ammo. The ER PPC gives it the much needed range to be of use in an open field and the need for strict fire discipline. If you´re willing to risk a shutdown there is no ammo any more so you are allowed to be undisciplined ;-)

Comment:
For what it is the Starslayer is a solid medium cavalry mech. It has better armor then some mediums and the ERPPC gives it the range to reach out and hit something. It is a bit heat prone, but a good pilot should have no trouble managing it. Its best feature is that it lacks an XL engine thus making that armor even more potent. If logistics and price are an issue the Starslayer is by far one of the best buys at its cost of any medium mech on the market in this era.

Comment:
This mech is superior to the 3C model because it has the ranged weapons. Trading a Large Laser and an SRM 4 for an ER PPC is a good deal in my mind because it gives you the ranged firepower to actually fight other mechs.
That being said its passable as a raider now, but still sets more use as a guard or city fighting unit.
Watch your heat and maybe don't fire the ER PPC when your close enough to use other weapons. Changing down to a standard PPC is a bad idea in my mind, but maybe changing one of the mediums up to ER would be more useful.
Either way a superior mech in a lot of ways.

I like this 'mech. It carries no ammunition, so you can afford the extra heat burden, and if you start running too hot the jump jets will keep you mobile and alive, while the weapons dish out a pounding.

The heat is much to high, however with controlled fire it will make an excellent striker mech, exchanging the ERPPC to a PPC would make it a cheap, garrison mech.
