Naqel: You make a fine point with mech size. Since I didn't take into account the size of walkers on the field. To be completely honest, I didn't think anyone was going to choose a walker. Walkers are usually used more as on-planetary warfare then for space. Though lemme see... since I'm no good with metric conversions. Anyway, shouldn't that walker be a little bigger? 40ft(12m) tall should at least be little more then half the size of an AT-AT.

I tried a few scenarios using your drawing, but they were a little... strange. If I go over the possibilities, I only come out with 6 in total for fitting on the thing. 1 on the left and right sides, 2 on the bottom and 2 on the top. Of course, there is no aerial view of the walker, I'm going to make an assumed guess of at least 3/4 the size of the mech, but since it's a heavy, you would need to account for rocket launchers or any anti-air weapons. Oi, it's just hard thinking for things like that. Take it as you please and tell me what you think.

Dracorion: True, but think of it like... the cord shoots out(extending), then instead of bashing the enemy with it, you grab 'em and whip him around like a big flail.

Krogoth: Well, as Dracorion stated, it wouldn't do much good in space. I can see it as combating infantry forces with on-planetary warfare, seeing as though there's actually air to burn. Though maybe to make that more plausible, the fire should come out of the palm of the mech's hand while you can still grab with the claws. Sound good?
