Recognition notes
The Porcupine PRC-2N is a 20-ton striker that fights close-in, built around a lighter 160 XXL fusion engine in place of the PRC-1N's 180 XL, which cuts cruising speed from 97 km/h to 86 km/h and top speed from 151 to 130 km/h. Where the 3063 original carries four medium lasers alone, this 3067 version keeps a Medium Laser in each arm and each torso but adds a Small X-Pulse Laser in the Left Torso, a Small X-Pulse Laser in the Right Torso, an ER Small Laser in the Center Torso, and two ER Medium Lasers in the Head. Standard armor replaces the base model's ferro-fibrous plating, and double heat sinks replace the single type, while the armor spikes and supercharger of the PRC-1N are absent here. Innovative Design Concepts builds it at Solaris VII.
