If you were going with a Mech, and depending on how you see your role in the lance, and the lance's role in general, I'd go with an Orion or a Marauder for a heavy, or a Panther for a light. If you fo Medium, depending on what type of Centurion and what mech Urbanmech is taking, I'd suggest a a huncback if Urban goes long, or an enforcer if he goes short.
Yes take a Charger and I'll take a Jagermech someone else can take an Urbanmech and we can round out the lance with a Vulcan. We will be the lance that kills very very slowly...or we could call ourselves the Tractor Drivers.
I'll decide on a mech tonight just have to fire up Heavy Metal Pro and check on the variants.

My prob is mostly to decide what size not the exact type. Since I have no idea what the role of the lance in general should be.
Will think about it till tomorow and maybe even just make a techie.
lovely. You know in all my time I can't remember a single one of these in use. Except in the novels of course I think there was even one about a mercenary in a charger.
Radiant,
I don't think you would thave o exactly match your mech to the lance.
Ever seen the "Tales of the Black widow" (Biß der schwarzen Witwe) scenario pack? Johnny Clavell uses his rifleman as leader of a recon lance.
The history of BT is full of such appearant "mis-matches". (Noone can exactly be choosing, he has take what he can get. Remember that 3025 technology is still slowly failing with new mech production just barely equalizing combat and attrition losses.)
So don't take lance needs as your only measure-stick; besides you have probably never seen these guys before you get thrown together into a unit.
(So the choice of mech is more grounded in your background than anything else.)
[Just in case, though you probably already know: There's an academy version for techs. (Also, techs are far more the object of "worship" in these days as not everyone and his brother are able to build a mech in their backyard yet.
