I read this thread and recall the same thread when spider was about to come out. Now we have people crying that its OP with only 150kph top speed (well hit detection is screwed right now and not only for spiders but all fast targets).
Now imagine a flea going at 200 with 5 smlas (15 alpha)
A flea won't reach 200 km/h, even with MASC, its max speed with MASC will only be 170ish. Second, range of SL = 90, Third, max armor of flea is 132-ish, Last of all - Flea will be dead. No jumpjets, lack of better range for SL, nature of the game being pinpoint, SHS being unviable, streaks being auto-bots, etc. means they will be dead. Will it be DOA - No not totally. Will it be a death trap coffin for all but the most bored Vets - Probable conclusion.
Not sure why people stated the Spider would be DOA, but most knew it would be a challenge, and not really DOA. It still has maneuverability and armor to offset its lack of weapons.
Only the Clan FireMoth will be going over 200 km/h btw.
