I can't remember the exact values, but I'm pretty sure it was something like A-A-A-A-D. It's essentially equivalent to the best of the Inner Sphere in terms of industrial capacity and mining, but it's godawful for food security.
My point stands; We're currently attempting to contain the situation on the ground. Grounding civilian air traffic to allow unimpeded airspace access for verified government aircraft is simply a precaution.
We have spies in place on the border regions. We tried to get some in deeper but instead of working to increase the number in the border regions which was what I thought we were doing we literally went deeper into Mandate space and we had to withdraw because MASK was too good.
No, we do not because they are not on the border region which is the only area we have assests deployed and ready in. And if the Mandate is stupid enough to attack the Aurigans then they get attacked by literally everyone. All 3 other powers are stronger than the Mandate with even the Aurigans being stronger once they stop hiding the Nautilus units. Not even the Big Mac would be able to do anything since even at full strength one of our Divisions still outnumbers them more than 3 to 1 in terms of firepower.

CASE BDCool add it to the Unit PM and I will threadmark it.
Sudden thought: should we put the taurian antigrav system on it?
No reason to. The Anti-grav systems are more for advanced line units instead of the general or militia line units,
I don't think so, but it'd be a B rating in both Technological Sophistication and Industrial Development if you want to support a MAWLR in the long term. You could probably stretch one of them to a C with deals, but not both. That said, if you made a mobile variant, you could support it for short term combat operations, though I'd had to see what it is you're fighting that needs a MAWLR to kill.
Something like the Rattler, maybe, that engages DropShips in orbit with SubCapital lasers and Capital missiles.
The Horus is a refinery in this universe not a factory. That would just improve the raw material dependency rating. It would speed up the development of the world industrial development rating but that still takes time.
So we can place MAWLRs on Mir and Portland if we want. Independence as well if we finagle a deal for its C rating in Industrial Development. Although, I would imagine that people would want to upgrade them first before we build any more of them.
It actually is a factory, it's just an incredibly basic one like the mobile ones y'all already have. It'll make girders and powerlines and concrete, but it can't make advanced electronics or anything that requires uber specialized tools.
wouldn't it make more sense to make blue water battleships with STO weapons for Independence?
It can be argued that it would be overall more efficient to use contragrav platforms of similar scale, though built to at least tolerate being buoyant in bodies of water.
I feel the answer to that is still "nuke it from orbit".
