...seriously.. dafuq? Two totally different species of "cat" in totally different biomes. Top is a jaguarundi (longer neck, darker fur, no swoop to the spine), bottom is indeed a puma, though where? I hate this kind of shit, and then people in the comments calling both maneaters... ignorant AF.

My surgery has gone smoothly, however I've been hit with an unexpected surcharge of 1.3k above the highest prior estimate. It really sucks to be in financial straits while in recovery, so I'm reopening my fundraiser. Please help if you can gofund.me/2bd9ebd3a

Sonia Citron is, IMO the most underrated ELITE 2 way player in the WNBA right now. Not saying she's A'ja, but she is actually more versatile on Offense than A'ja, if not as outright dominant. But she is a genuine threat, offense & defense at every level, and leads the W in Clutch Points. Salute!

yeah there are a few things I stretched to make work, in the reasoning, but I still stand by it being better thought out than the return of Primitive Mechs in the Jihad, the the ridiculousness of the SLDF Royal Mechs revealed for the same arc....

BildBildBildBacking those weapons are a head mounted Stream Quad Rack fed by a single ton of ammunition, and an arm mounted Improved Heavy Medium Laser for close in work. With only 12 double heat sinks, an incautious warrior may find themselves in danger of shutdown , rapidly, but it they balance their weapons based on range, it is able to deal with near any threat.

One oversight is the lack of anti-personnel weaponry. This is partially offset by tactical doctrine, as the Rangers don't act as solo gunmen, but much like Seekers have their living tapestry, the Rangers have a "Posse", of infantry, both armored and non, and usually a couple other Garrison Mechs, Reptars and Arañas. There is no point devoting an entire Dropship, even the repurposed Hanseatic Leopards assigned to this duty, for a single Mech and support crew. These ships usually refit one of the Mech bays for Power Armor, or light motorized vehicles like Military Motorcycles or similar, and the ASF bays have been turned into extended bunkrooms, and storage, helping extend the endurance of the ship.

If initial reports and deployments prove successful, the King Dumount Defense Facility Shadow Hawk lines will be converted to produce a small trickle of these designs, though with Endo Steel still in shorter supply than desired, it's possible future models may be modified to standard Chassis, before serial production begins, which may result in removing the RAC for a lighter weapon system, with discussions of a multi weapon cluster for dealing with Infantry and unarmored forces, less lethal options, or even a melee weapon, like a massive truncheon. With a 2 year planned window before production begins they hope to have more than enough input to sculpt the "ideal" weapons package.

* Had one of my classes cancel this morning so got sketching while waiting for the next class, and just decided to "CGL" the "heavy weapons" Dougram from Yasuo Ohtagaki's popular serialized comic "Get Truth Fang of the Sun Dougram". And of cour…
