Li Song Mechlab (LSML) is an EFT inspired 'Mech loadout creation and analysis tool for PGI's Mechwarrior: Online game.
The core design goal of LSML is to give you the numbers you need to make the best loadouts for MWO, and doing it effortlessly. We live by #nobullshitjustrawdata.
LSML differs from other similar tools such as Smurfy by the amount and accuracy of information it gives you.
LSML is an offline application which means that you will always have access to it even when you don't have Internet access. It will automatically read game data from your MWO install (if you have one) to give you up-to-date information from the latest patch.
Getting updates/Following us
LSML contains an automatic update checker which will check for updates every three days unless you disable it. If you wish to get news on whats happening on the project I recommend that you follow us on Patreon.

How is this different from Smurfy?
- Modules & Quirks!
- LSML correctly calculates your DPS and range stats based on equipped modules, quirks from omnipods and chassis as well as pilot skills and targeting computers. Ever wonder how much the new heat quirks on Awesomes affect DPS on a PPC boat? LSML will tell you.
- Map specific heat!
- Ever wondered how well your loadout will do on Terra Therma or Caustic? Select those maps from the Enivornment drop-down and see for yourself in an instant.
- Spread & Jam!
- LSML will tell you what the expected DPS of your Ultra-ACs is when double firing and tell you the statistical burst damage for burst type weapons. The DPS of weapons that are affected by a spread, such as LB-type ACs will be compensated for spread assuming a target the size of an Atlas side torso.
- Realistic sustained DPS!
- LSML calculates maximal attainable sustained DPS using smart choices, .e. only firing the most heat effective weapons. For example smurfy's calculates sustained DPS assuming you fire everything you got as often as you can. As a result the sustained DPS number from LSML is higher and for a skilled pilot, closer to reality.
- Graphs!
- LSML shows a stacked DPS graph (as opposed to overlaid) showing you which weapons contribute the most to your damage at what range. If a weapon isn't present in the graph, it's because it's not beneficial to your sustained DPS to fire that weapon, at all. I.e. dead weight when considering sustained DPS, it may still have other situational uses which is up to you to decide.
- Ammo stats!
- Shows you how long you can be in combat with each equipped weapon. Easier to match ammo amounts for your weapon ranges. Shows how many volleys you can shoot and summarises missile weapons. It doesn't show SRM 6 + SRM 2 + SRM4, it shows SRM 12 in the summary.
- Automatic Armor Distribution!
- Easily add or remove armor in half-ton quantities and have it automatically distributed over the mech to protect your important items. Need to shave of 1 ton of armor to get that last heat sink in? Just drag the slider two ticks and you've got it! It'll take the armor of your shield-arm/dead-side if you have one or just shave evenly. Of course you can manually adjust when you've decided on the rest of your equipment. Or just go manual from the start, the choice is yours!
- Smart Place!
- By enabling smart place, double clicking an item to add will automatically shuffle your gear around so that the wanted item can be added. Makes for building a mech easy. Just double click from the equipment list to add what you want on the mech, the placement is handled automatically. Of course you can manually place items too by drag-n-dropping!
- You're not dependent on an internet connection to use LSML!
- Many more smart features to make your theorystomping life easier!
