Another good design.

Technically it could land on Mars, deploy a group of soldiers, and, after picking them up again, fly back into an orbit. (Since the MRF-5 is equipped with a fusion drive, this would be illegal, though).

Is it canon that it is illegal to use nuclear engines on Mars? I seem to recall it being hinted at but not actually explicitly stated.

Design: Streamlined cylinder (12' x 50', 11.52 spaces, nanocomposite, heavy frame, smart hull); cDR/cPF 21/2F, 5/1S, 5/1B (nanocomposite armor). Hull radiators (2 ksf), folding radiator wings (1 ksf).

I would be tempted to reduce side armor cDR and try and eliminate the radiator wings if possible - as these are mass sinks.

Modules: New cockpit; small ladar; small radar; small PESA;

Did you mean for some or all of these to be fixed sensors? I am 0.38 spaces over budget and 3 tons over mass. Otherwise I am pretty close on the other stats.
