Designer Notes
The Basilisk performed relatively well in its role as a scout. Many pilots complained that, while operating in this manner, they occasionally came upon lightly guarded strategic targets that given the means, they could have denied the enemy. The commander of the 6th Heavy Gear Recon regiment sought to remedy this deficiency by re-equipping some of his Gears. A number of Basilisks were re-equipped with Firemoth-16 medium flamers in place of the PR-25 autocannon. Additionally, the Vogel-6 rocket pod was modified to fire the licensed-built Paxton Arms Anti-Structure rounds. Finally, the Gear was issued several heavy grenades for use against material targets. This modification package was popular enough that it became a standard variant in TN 1855 and was dubbed the Sapper Basilisk.
