I think sticking to an ER Large Laser might be best since getting in range of streaks seems like a very bad idea with this little guy. I believe at least one of the other variants will have missile ports so maybe a 177k/h srm boat could be pretty sweet! Doubting we'll see an ECM Locust...think of all the "LOCUST IS OP" forum titles we'd see.

Yeah, I don't know why we're guessing about variants. It's going to be the 1V, 3M, and 3S, as stated in the information boxes on the PP page.

In other news, I'm excited for the locust. Looks like it'll be fun, will probably do the typical LLas and MGs.

We're not getting ECM, none of the variants have ECM according to Sarna.

Ah man! A Locust with ECM would be perfect!

For everyone that like me have been a bit worried about the size of the Locust - worry no more. Russ just posted a screenie of one, and it's TINY:



Yes, that's a Spider it's looking UP at

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

I'll just make it bright pink. I feel a little guilty when I blow away a Commando because it looks a little like a tiny kid or that robot from Buck Rogers. I might sob a little when I annihilate a Locust.

I have decided my locust are going to be my training mech. Load up the one weapon system I want to practice, gets the largest engine possible, and then see how much damage I can deal going 150kph.

Figure, if i can hit with it going 150, then during competitive matches, aiming going only 75 will become a cake walk.

Wait untill you are shooting at some one else going that fast. It gets wild.

[Panzerjotun]

If the top speed on the Locust is not increased (example: 160kph) to something greater then it is just dumb.

[Flying Blind]

Devs have already stated locust will have a 190 max engine rating giving it a top speed of about 170 with tweak.

[Tom Sawyer]

Maybe they will introduce MASC. Be nice to see the locust doing 200kph Even keep it true in that over using it will cause the mech to shut down.

Picked up a 1V, shoved in my XL180 from my commando, slapped on 4mgs, 3 tons of ammo, and an ML.

I'm in love. It is so fun to pilot, and I've actually been scoring some good kills with it. You will eat exposed CTs in a second!

The darn little thing needs jump-jets.

[Zelator]

been running this thing with xl 170 engine. 2 machine guns and an ER large laser. This thing is awesome with the laser since you can snipe and relocate fast. 3 games in and im already doing 400+ damage games and 200k C-bills. Easy money on this thing, just use the ER large laser to hit each enemy atleast once and profit. So far ive found most people tend to ignore you, just stay away from light mechs in this thing, 2 mg's is not enough to cut it in a brawl.
