Even in humanity's far future, 'soon to be retired' doesn't mean what we think it means.
Buddy of mine PLA'd me this little dude! Guess he caught my wavelength when I piled the first three LLs into Drake for one reason only. Everything else is GMS bolted to an Everest. Next stop is a whole load of SSC for the flight core bonus and Monarch/Viceroy mashings.
For anybody wondering, my pilot named his ride the 'Coffin Dodger' back when he was a fighter ace. He crashed into a hangar bay on a cargo freighter during a job go wrong(because they always have to in a backstory, am i right?). When confronted with the lack of means to repair either his bird or the mech he crashed into, he just bought the now written off mech and slammed the two together.
