Archer ARC-5R

The ARC-5R is a 70-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 3050 rework of the 2458 original. Where the ARC-1A carried a Medium Laser in each arm, this configuration mounts an ER Large Laser in the Left Arm and another in the Right Arm, and the LRM 20 racks in each torso give way to LRM 15 launchers fitted with Artemis IV fire-control systems, with CASE lining both the Left Torso and Right Torso. A 280 fusion engine replaces the 255 fusion engine, lifting cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed to 65, and endo steel internal structure with standard armor stands in place of the ARC-1A's primitive plating. Twelve double heat sinks replace the original's ten single sinks. The design keeps its command 'Mech status, reinforced battle fists on both arms, and its stable firing platform, and is built by Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises at Satalice.
