================================================================================================
Overview:
    A city ambusher QuadVee, the 80-ton Ophiculus is infamous for having extremely light armor
    for its size. However, some may think it makes up for it by having twin highly-reliable
    Ultra AC/20s capable of crippling almost any 'Mech in one salvo. Thus it sees use as a glass
    cannon to try and take out high-value targets before likely being destroyed. As consolation,
    it is actually possible to survive this assignment due to the cockpit/turret assembly being
    integrated into a Full-Head Ejection System - and the 'Mech itself is as cheap as possible
    aside from its weapons, conversion gear, and said system.

Capabilities:
    DESIGN QUIRKS: Accurate Weapon (UAC/20s), Fast Reload (UAC/20s), Stable Weapon (UAC/20s),
    Variable Range Targeting, Bad Reputation(2), Difficult to Maintain, Non-Standard Parts
