Okay, i did a Jenner-F as my scout and i replaced the weapons with 2 ER medium lasers.

I had 10 double heatsinks.

I took out the JJ and increased speed with XL engine to 10/15 which is a max speed of 162 kph.

119 points of armor.(7.5 tons)

I wanted to compare so i did the Cicada:

9/14, not quite as fast at 151.2 KPH,2 medium pulse lasers, and 4 tons of armor, with a Narc and a ECM suite. 10 double heat sinks.

It says that narc is a missle weapon so it wouldnt fit the hardpoint but i think the Dev's have counted it as equipment.


Overall, i like the Jenner more, faster, more armor and less punch but more range.


A capture the flag runner is Commando with 15/23 speed(248.4 W T F?) I hope that is possible because that sounds insane. It has one small laser and 2 tons of armor which is pointless with its 248.4 KPH speed

BTW,all of this is from another post.

Sure hope you're not talking about the beta, because this ain't the beta forum.

[Chunkymonkey]

No, in my dreams

[Calisrue]

while they've been doing a nice job sticking to canon for specs i do wonder if they might not be limiting engine specs just a lil more then that - i mean they've essentially said you've got some options but thinking the theoretical extremes might not be there?

[Chunkymonkey]

I realized that.

[Remarius]

Well we know you can fit a 300XL in a scout mech if you have it.

Another reason why we will need a few APs for MWO, would be awesome for the Smart Phones...

[Feindfeuer]

As i serve Steiner, my scout will be an AS-7K upgraded with double heatsinks to better manage the heat buildup. At least i think i read this is an upgrade doable with the ingame mechbay. I have no info on how many hardpoints of what type the AS-7K will have ingame, so i can't realy get into detailed customizing... yet.

[Jumbik]

Factions aside, Raven for current time, Cougar for the future. Just the looks preferences for now... technical aspects will be taken in account after I will be in the game...

[Salvasian]

Jenner for me baby. Fast, good armour, jump jets

[Martini Henrie]

Raven, I've always like the look of it, but not had chance to use it too much on TT or PC games.

[HANGMAN1962]

jenner w/ xl engine and endo and dble hs.
4 med lsrs and 4 streak 2's and case
has max armer and 7/11/5 for mevement
heat is 22w/10 dble soo only heat is movement +/- invirement
using non er meds to keep heat in check
good luck n good hunting m8s

the"hangman"

[Woodstock]

I'd go with a panther probably.

Keep the ER PPC

XL engine

Up the speed ... and replace the SRM4 with EWAR gear

[The Birdeater]

From the announced scouts, i would choose the Jenner!
Nice loadout, speed and jump capabilties. If they release the Firestarter, i would change.

My personal dream recconaissance mech is the ZPH-1A or 2A Tarantula!
Very fast and awesome jump capabilities combined with 360° torso twist and a nice look! It is in the TRO 3055, but maybe the Tarantula is already there? I can't find any introducing informations about it. Maybe it is like this case: The Piranha clan BattleMech is listed in the TRO 3058 but was introduced by the Diamond Sharks in 3051. Maybe the Tarantula is also available a bit earlier. Who knows?
Whatever, it's my dream scout mech.

[Lightdragon]

my dream scout mech was already created, the raven in my opinion by far the greatest scout ever built in the inner sphere

I was waiting for a Steiner to say something like that...

[Gun Bear]

Cicada with an XL engine and remove the small laser - the freed up weight would go a third medium laser, Armor (Ferro or regular), BAP, ECM, and NARC (if possible). That would keep the speed, slightly up the firepower, and improve survivability in a firefight by 2 or 3 times as well as adding all the equipment a scout could ever need.

[Saren21]

Most likey go with a raven just going to replace the two Med Lazers with MG's and make my "can opener" raven punch a hole with the SRM's then crit the internals with the MG's.

[Hykelion]

Stick a 300XL in a Centurion and use it as a command mech for a scout lance.
