The fact that the original variants carried a [[Narc missile beacon]] instead of some heavier weaponry was useful in team matches and grand melees, but in the one-on-one duels that were popular the Narc was a liability. Responding to this and other complaints, [[Innovative Design Concepts]] introduced the LNG-2, which uses several [[Experimental Technology|experimental systems]] to improve performance. The most interesting of these is [[reactive armor]], which enhanced protection against missile weapons. + A [[Solaris VII]] [[BattleMech]]. − ==Weapons and Equipment== + ==Armament== − The ''Longshot''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main armament are its dual [[TharHes Maxi]] [[SRM-6]] launchers with [[Artemis IV]] fire control system, backed up by a pair of [[Innovative Design Concepts]] [[medium X-Pulse laser]]s.
