While the Gallant was a very effective design, it's design focus of Surface Combat inevitably led to the need for a dedicated Space Combat suit. The SK-S13D and MP-G4T(0GP) were only stopgaps and each had it's limits, the SK-S13D was limited in it's maneuverability and the Suit lost a lot of flexibility compared to "native" Zero Gravity Frames due to being locked into it while the MP-G4T(0GP) had to deal with high costs to overhaul Existing Gallants. That being said, they did provided significant information and essentially acted as prototypes for the MP-L4N "Lancer".
The Lancer is a unique design that makes use of everything learned from the Sled and Space Mobility Gallant Prototype. The Thruster pack from the Zero Gravity Prototype was refined and includes a smaller pair of secondary thrusters to complement the 4 primary thrusters. The Legs were replaced with 2 'Maneuvering Vanes'. The thruster Vanes are essentially a collection of adjustable maneuvering thrusters with the entire 'Vane' mounted to a modified Powered Gallant Pelvis Frame and Joint. Individually each maneuvering thruster is weak but when working together and properly oriented they lend the Lancer a high level of maneuverability. As a result the Lancer requires large amounts of fuel during operation which is mounted in a large External Tank with 2 small Reserve tanks, one on each Maneuvering Vane than can be jettisoned when empty.
The Upper Torso, while visually similar to the Gallant's, has been completely redesigned to advantage of operating in Zero-G. The Manipulators still function on the Universal Standard and can handle a wide range of weaponry.
The removal of the Legs does result in the Lancer not being able to function outside of Zero-G(Tests are scheduled for how they function in the Moon's Gravity Well) and as a result they require a special mini-gantry when being stored outside of a Zero-G environment.
The Picture above showed Technicians and Pilots inspecting recent delivery of Lancers to the Assault Carrier Midnight.
This is an older design but I had a lot of fun coming up with all these little vignettes! Everything was designed in Lego Digital Design and then rendered in LDD-2-POVray.
I'll be featuring this Solar War Design and others in some upcoming short stories and other works as well.
