Mechs/PNT-12DCB

Description
Another proposal from the Draconis Combine design teams to update the Panther with modern tech. The -12DCb is built on an Endo Steel chassis and featuring the same good mobility Panthers have always enjoyed, further improving it by replacing the 7.5 tons of standard armor with 6.5 tons of Ferro Fibrous armor, saving a precious ton of weight at a cost of only 3% of the original coverage. This design dispenses with the traditional backup laser as well, to make room for a new weapon tailor-made for close-in work – the Snub-Nose Particle Projection Cannon. Moreover, it carries a C3 slave unit, ideal for reducing the effective range of more heavily-gunned lancemates.
