If introduced, the Blood Asp would be an immediate 5/5 and probably usurp the Kodiak as the best Clan assault 'Mech in the game. A 360 engine for a 90-tonner isn't really that overengined, despite all the claims of 85-tonner efficiency, and the 'Mech's overall shape is not awful. Riffs on the Echo or Fox would allow for missile spam. The Delta pods allow for multiple boated ballistics, though not necessarily in the Prime's skyhooks. The Bravo mounts ECM, as well, so depending on introduced designs we might see the first 'Mech with a choice of ECM locations. The Asp also has both jets and ECM in its Alt. It also comes with 6E stock in its primary configuration, which is enough for most larger laser boats, and with the faintly possible addition of ATMs incoming, even the singleton missile hardpoint might not be a total waste. The Blood Asp is God's gift to ballistic 'Mechs, with skyhook cannon hardpoints mated to a relatively high-mounted cockpit permitting the ultimate in hull-down shooting.
