Spider SDR-5D

Overview
The SDR-5D is one of the few 'Mechs capable of mounting ECM (and the only ECM-capable mech to also mount jump jets). Three energy Hardpoints allow it to take advantage of the lightest weapons available. Its impressive jumping capability is only surpassed by the Spider SDR-5V.

Stock Loadout
The SDR-5D is identical to the original -5V except that it drops one Medium Laser in favor of a Flamer. Like the -5V, it possesses superior jumping ability. The lack luster damage output is partially balanced by the sheer speed and agility of the 'Mech.

Strengths
Like all Spiders, the SDR-5D is capable of incredible Speed and maneuverability. ECM allows the -5D to disrupt enemy sensors and missiles. It is also able to counter enemy ECM to expose hidden units. It is currently the only ECM capable mech that can also mount jump jets.

Weaknesses
The -5D has one of the fewest number of weapon hardpoints of available on a BattleMech, which limits the types of loadouts that can be loaded onto it.

Design Quirks
The left arm lacks any weapon hard points and can be used as shield or armor stripped off of it to allocate it to other equipment.
