I am looking foreword to having one of my own.

[Grey Man]

For anyone who hasn't purchased one yet:

Spider = Super fun.

Not very combat effective by any means.

But FUN!

[Thontor]

So..
The comments in the patch notes about this mech succeeding from lag more than other lights...

Makes me think the engine rating possibly isn't restricted to 8.5x the tonnage

Anyone have the mech and can see what the biggest engine rating you can use is?

[BL00D RAVEN]

max 255 engine-137.7KPH

Using this small beauty atm. Ur not able to do any greater damage, even compared to a commando ur weak. But jumping around and driving this mech is hell lot of fun...

Oh man is fantastic to run around in. My second match with the spider I ran into another spider in the tunnel on Forest Colony. We had a great fight until another mech showed up and I had to run.

Third match was going ok then I ran into a commando.

fourth a raven.

Fifth a raven

Any one who uses the jenner K or non ECM commandos knows how that is.

I had absolutely no fun with it. Its the weakest mech out there. Looks cool, is made of paper, and feels like punching with fists. Total joke und very useless.

[Grey Man]

I wouldn't say it was useless. Best match in it so far was 533 damage, 2 kills 4 assists. Made about 90,000 c-bills on a loss due to the enemy out-capping us on conquest. And honestly, I am having more fun in this thing than I ever did in my Ilya or 4SP, even though they are WAY more effective.

Oh crap... Another light mech...

With all the issues around lag shield and stuff and they bring another light mech...

Who cares if it is made of paper and only has 2 ML (i dont know and i dont care)!! It still does damage and can't be hit, it can scout...And i'm not talking about being fast, i'm talking about lagggg...I'm no nerd in battletech stuff but until this game minimizes the lag/connection issue around here, light mechs should not be added.

Does everyone has to belong a clan or play with friends or have a special purpose anti-scout mech to play this game?
I play alone has many other players out there. Sometimes i'm in good teams sometimes bad ones. Never complained but this is absurd...
With all the light mechs and they had to add another...Wheres the fun?! Where are the big battles were other class mechs have a roll? Its light mechs all over the place, killing assault mechs left and right cuz this game still has problems with lag and connection.

There should only exist 2 scouts per team, not 5!

Sorry for whinnig but i play alone has many other ppl. And i'm starting to become tired of this...

I never posted in this forum, until now, until the lights take over this game...Hell!!!

[der langsamere]

so what was the point of an anti infantry mech in a game without infantry?

and lol another light mech to ADD to the netcode issies.
lol

If there is still somebody who didn't realized it the 5D variant can mount ECM and three lasers
The 5V variant can mount 12 ....yea twelve !!!!! jumpjets and 3 Modules without master.
The 5K variant mounts 4 balistik and one energy.

Nasty little beasts.

[Sir Roland MXIII]

The D variant having ECM came as an unpleasant shock. It should not have ECM, period. Guess the devs have a short memory when it comes to them saying they'd not give mechs anything they did not have in TT. Or maybe I should say selective memory.

[William Conrad]

Hardly saw anyone play spider in the matches I played lately... dying breed?
