Recognition notes
The LCT-3D is a 20-ton missile boat, a 3049 rebuild of the 2499 Locust that reworks the chassis for stand-off fire rather than scouting. Where the LCT-1V carried twin machine guns and a medium laser, this version strips those away for an LRM 5 in each arm, leaving the close-range work to other units. Endo steel internal structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the original's standard components, and CASE lines the center torso. Cruising at 86 km/h and topping out near 130, it keeps the chassis's low, hard-to-target silhouette and cramped cockpit, with minimal weapon-pod arms lacking hands. Achernar Battlemechs builds it at New Avalon.
