Description:
The ACS-302 Heavy Assault Droid is perfectly engineered to be dropped directly into combat and unleash absolute hell on its enemies. Heavily Armed, even more heavily armored and shielded it is a mobile fire support droid. Utilizing powerful weaponry, and armored in thick heavy armor plating the ACS-302 is capable of surviving heavy amounts of punishment. On some of the more purpose driven units, intended to further increase its longevity each shoulder of the droid features an Icon-Class Personal Energy Shield module, allowing it to sustain heavy damage before its 'hull' even begins to suffer. Though large and bulky, the droid isn't horrifically slow, but it is cumbersome. To increase its mobility, it features a set of Repulsor Lift Boosters allowing it to make significant jumps and survive falls from great heights. It features a full suite of sensor equipment and targeting equipment to aid the Droid Brains in combat, allowing them to 'see' through walls similar to the Arbiter Combat Helmet. In fact it features almost all the systems normally found in the helmet. In addition the droid features a K-65 Targeting system, as the primary sensor and targeting computer used by the droid, simply assisted by the other features. The droid itself can understand verbal and non-verbal commands, and is normally attached to a squad or fire team, though it can independently operate or receive orders from a command center.

Its Armament can be exchanged with equivalent sized weapons, and it may always utilize alternate ammunition. The Quad Missile Launcher connects to the Droid Brain's targeting computer, allowing it to fire very accurately and home in on targets. Its opposite shoulder features a Viper 2 Grenade Launcher, loaded with grenades in an internal magazine of Eight rather than Five. Its ammunition compartment for its other weapons normally feature a forty kilogram power generator, separate from the droids power supply, however this can be exchanged for a smaller version or completely for twenty or forty kilograms of slugthrower ammunition, depending on the configuration. Finally, the auxiliary weapon can be any Carbine sized weapons on the Left arm.

Being 500 kilograms of droid components, generators, weapons, and armor, the droid is inordinately strong, capable of crushing bones with its hands, barrelling through duracrete walls, and smashing through obstacles as necessary in combat. Though not outfitted specifically for close quarters combat, due to its impressive strength it is a danger even to armored foes. Its internal components are coated in NeuroCoat 'Everlast' reducing the need for regular maintenance on the Droid. Featuring a pair of J2 Droid Brains it has enhanced processing power and redundancies when in combat.

The use of two shield generators simply makes them redundant, not dual powered, allowing one generator to be damaged or disrupted and still remain protected.
To clarify.
Removed the other bit.

It didn't save the edits or I accidentally cancelled them. My Apologies.

One question are you saying that this model can't have the personal energy shield at all, or was the issue having 2 of them? I lowered it to one and cut out the part of the description about the redundancy currently.

To clarify, as with the Droidekas and various other droids that were equipped with shield generators to protect from damage, this should be set a limited production with no development threads. With the inclusion of one, between ten and twenty or more posts, I can see it being allowed at minor, but anything further than that defeats the purpose of designating droids such as these as the sort of elite droids that are generally deployed in smaller pairs - unless you were to remove the shield generators, or produce two models with one at limited/minor and one at mass (which is what the Droideka had done for this issue). As for the armor quality, that does not belong on a droid submission nor do I feel comfortable seeing a mass produced droid walking around with a shell that can protect it from heavy damage.

Sum of edits requested with no development thread
  • Removal of personal energy shields
  • Removal of armor quality (it needn't be included, whether it is to be capable of taking large amounts of damage or not)
or
  • Reduction of production to limited
  • Removal of armor quality (see above)
Sum of edits requested with a development thread ranging from ~10-20+ posts
  • Removal of armor quality (see above)
  • Reduction of production to minor
  • Minimum post count of 10.
or
  • Removal of armor quality (as above)
  • Reduction of shield generators to 1.
  • Minimum post count of 15.

Added a Dev Thread to the Submission.
Already reduced the number of shield generators to 1

This is what I did for production, rather than submitting the exact same droid at Minor Production with the shield, I simply noted that the model with the shield is less in production, unless you would prefer I submit them separately.
