Recognition notes
The SDR-8R is a 30-ton scout, a 3084 rework of the 2650 SDR-5V. It swaps the pair of Medium Lasers in the center torso for a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the same location, giving it reach without changing its close-in fighting habits. A lighter 210 light fusion engine and endo steel structure replace the SDR-5V's 240 fusion engine and standard framework, and cruising speed drops from 86 to 76 km/h with top speed falling from 130 to 119; jump range rises from 240 to 300 metres. Ten double heat sinks replace the base model's ten single sinks. It remains an easily-serviced design, and Krupp Armament Works builds it at Terra.
