Description
Third 'Mech from Technical Readout: 2750 is the Mongoose, a reasonably handy commander for recon/scout lances. And again another 'Mech that seems to sport entirely differently designed limbs in its original form.Battletech is the property of Topps and CGL

For the time, 3 Medium Lasers was a decent loadout. The Small Laser rarely got any play however.
If I were to upgrade to 'curant' tech... I would do my damedest to grab a couple Clan tech Mediums for the arms and chest. Pulse Laser fire too fast and heat up twice as quick. and in a Targeting Comp, and internall hardening and extra armor. Also if available an Endo-Steele skellie. I had stats on Compact/Extralight engines, but don't remember if'n they were cannon or not... Also I'd add an exta ML ala Spider mount in the chest. Then I'd be happy ^_^
This is still one of my favorite mechs. Thank you for the new pic!

NP, I favor the Royal/Mongoose II option of ER Large Lasers to snipe with and withdraw rather than more "normal" light loadout of medium lasers no matter their variety.

In MW, not sure which version but seems to be in all actually, I found that 4 ML's aloud for a very versatile weapons fire program. If I needed to stager fire so I could hone in on a target I could do so without interruption from recharge or heat build up. Once I got a 'Solid' I could Alpha-strike or keep pounding on my target. Otherwise, I'd snipe with a PPC...
They had a, for lack of a better wording, 4R PPC... would shoot 4 packets of charged particles doing 5pts of damage each. Was twice the heat of a normal PPC, but damage potential was very nice. Now, if'n they could release such a beast in the new MWoL in Beta testing even as a Light PPC, I'd be in Mecha Heavan ^_^

Light PPCs are away off in MWO though, and at three tons even with an XL engine your pretty much limited to maybe too unless you start to shave speed or armor.

Well again, design parameters and intent... close in... ML's. Long range PPC's.
But I think my ideal mech would have 4ML's and a PPC, preferably ER-clan tech. Maximum armor and re-enforced joints, CP, and compact engine and at least 1 jump jet, preferably 4 or more. and a TC...
Now I'm really gonna need to get my hands on a copy of the MW rule book again... :-/ Lost everything in the move... meh!
BTW a friend of mine took out an Atlas with one shot, course it helped that he fired 4 heavy weapons straight into it's center back... the Dev's pooched the 20R's because of it... but not much lives with that type of firepower square in the back!

Mm, does seem to have a decent lanky loping frame.

Reasonably distinct look compared to most chicken-walker style 'Mechs
