Code named the ''Uller'' after the norse god of archery by the [[Inner Sphere]] forces that first encountered this [[OmniMech]], likely for the 'Mechs ability to strike ar long ranges with most of its configurations, the ''Kit Fox'' is a powerful light OmniMech fielded primarily by Clan [[Jade Falcon]]. The ''Kit Fox'' is built on a lightweight [[Endo Steel]] chassis and ias powered by a 180 [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 97.2 km/h. The ''Kit Fox'' has ten [[double heat sink]]s on its base chassis that dissipate the 'Mechs waste heat. If more heat sinks are needed they can simply be added in the ''Kit Fox''s alternate configurations. For protection from enemy fire the ''Kit Fox'' has four tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor which provides excellent protection for its weight.

Often fielded by [[Clan Jade Falcon]], the ''Kit Fox'' has a surprising amount of firepower, with the ten built-in [[Double Heat Sink]]s sometimes barely able to fully cool the 'Mech down. However, the ''Kit Fox'' is somewhat slow for it's weight class, only capable of a top speed of 97.2 km/h, provided by a lightweight 180 [[Fusion Engine - XL|XL Fusion Engine]]. Available tonnage is further increased by the use of a lightweight [[Endo Steel]] chassis. Four tons of [[Armor - FF - BattleMechs & Vehicles|Ferro-Fibrous]] armor provide the ''Kit Fox'' with ample protection.

In its primary configuration the ''Kit Fox'' has an [[ER Large Laser]] and a [[LB-X Autocannon/5]] both of which are capable of striking a target at long ranges. The LB-X Autocannon/5 has the added benefit of being able to fire both standard rounds and cluster rounds which are capable of finding holes in an enemy's armor and possibly damageing internal components.

Description

The Kit Fox is a light Clan OmniMech with long-range combat as a primary focus, earning it the Inner Sphere codename of Uller, after the Norse god of archery.

Often fielded by Clan Jade Falcon, the Kit Fox has a surprising amount of firepower, with the ten built-in Double Heat Sinks sometimes barely able to fully cool the 'Mech down. However, the Kit Fox is somewhat slow for it's weight class, only capable of a top speed of 97.2 km/h, provided by a lightweight 180 XL Fusion Engine. Available tonnage is further increased by the use of a lightweight Endo Steel chassis. Four tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor provide the Kit Fox with ample protection.

Armament

In the primary configuration of the Kit Fox mounts an ER Large Laser on the left arm as it's primary source of firepower, supplemented by a LB 5-X AC for tactical flexibility. The other arm mounts a Small Pulse Laser and a Streak SRM-4 rack, for close range combat.

Alternate Configurations

  • Alternate Configuration A

The A configuration of the Kit Fox uses a Gauss Rifle as it's primary long-range weapon. Two ER Medium Lasers provide medium- and short-range firepower.

BV (1.0) = 1,218

  • Alternate Configuration B

The B configuration of the Kit Fox boasts a rapid-fire Ultra AC-10 as it's primary weapon, startling considering the 'Mech's tonnage. An ER Medium Laser, ER Small Laser, and a SRM-6 rack allow the Kit Fox B to finish off anything that manages to close ranges.

BV (1.0) = 1,016

  • Alternate Configuration C

An attempt to employ the Kit Fox in a scouting role, the C configuration has but one ER Large Laser for long-range combat. Instead the Kit Fox C mounts numerous light weapons, equipped with a Small Pulse Laser and dual Machine Guns. Two A-Pods provide excellent protection against infantry. While the Kit Fox C still has a somewhat slow speed, it is far more durable than other scout 'Mechs, and carries an array of three Anti-Missile Systems and an ECM Suite to further it's survivability. An Active Probe allows for detection of hidden units while scouting.

  • Alternate Configuration D

The Kit Fox D is configured for indirect fire support, mounting dual LRM-15 racks as well as a LRM-5. A Narc Missile Beacon is also carried, which may be exploited by the Kit Fox D itself, as the targeting systems of Clan LRMs lack a minimum range; this literally allows the Kit Fox D to run up to an enemy and mark them for increased accuracy, and then fall back, firing the entire time.
