Mechs/PNT-12DC-I

Description
Like its brothers the -12DC and -12DCb, the PNT-12DC-I is a proposed upgrade of the classic Panther line by the Draconis Combine based on an Endo Steel chassis. It retains the Hermes 140 Fusion engine from earlier generations and carries an impressive seven and a half tons of standard armor. Tough and well-protected, it enjoys the typical Panther movement profile – a 120 meter jump and a top speed of nearly 65 kph. With a right-arm mounted Heavy PPC, this Panther wields the equivalent of a Gauss Rifle with unlimited ammunition. While the range is similar to an ER Large Laser, the damage is more than double with only a slight increase in heat. Even if this was all it could do, the -12DC-I would still be an asset to any regiment. But it also carries twin Medium Lasers, backed by a Small Laser, suggesting this ‘Mech is meant to deal with city-based infantry as well as opposing BattleMechs.
