I'm not really the guy to talk to about tank builds, or really anything other than an aerial or glass cannon.
I don't think even starships in Battletech use shields, nevermind the mechs. Ferro Fibrous armor and Endo-Steel frames would help on weight savings but like the XLs they're really bulky and combined take away a LOT of room that would otherwise be used for ammo and weapons. Not to mention I'm not sure they'll make the cut either.
yup.
Endo Steel: "The orbital facilities that produced these weight-saving chassis were prime targets during the First Succession War, rendering the technology extinct in the Inner Sphere outside of the halls of ComStar by the Second Succession War. "
Ferro-Fibrous Armor: "First developed by the Terran Hegemony in 2571,[3] Ferro-Fibrous armor was lost to the Inner Sphere during the Succession Wars. The Draconis Combine was the first to re-create it in 3040."
