I'm honestly not sure... it could be really nasty. Or really bad. Either way it will be fun.

I imagine other lights will kill it fast though.

Which Locust variant had JJ's?

None of them?

I got the Phoenix Pack for my beloved Shadow Hawk, but that also means I'm getting a set of Locusts. Having run (well, jumped) around in a Spider I'm curious to see what I'll be able to do in a Locust, especially with 5 Lasers and a pair of AMS.

I thought streaks were too fast for AMS to hit?

I present to you... the LPL 1V:

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...722457aede541aa

(pretend it's an XL 190 in there with only 3 external heat sinks)

[Butane9000]

5 energy hard points.

XL190
4x Small Laser
1x Medium laser
Max armor
4.44 tons left over (stock without upgrades) for heat sinks.

Add DHS and Endo Steel frees up another ton. Then if you want to go all the Ferro free's up almost another half ton.

So without Ferro you're looking at 11 total DHS and upwards of 160-170 KPh.

[Felio]

With an XL 190, the required 3 external double heat sinks, Endo/Ferro and dropping 3 points of armor, you have 6 tons and 8 slots for armaments.

Just info for anyone trying to plan a build.

aka: MPLaser, 4 MG and 2 tons ammo, stat!

How does the Locust compare with the Flea? I am very confident that a Flea can hunt and take out Jenner's. If we get the Locust first, do you think it will be able to do the same?

This is all I know :/

So, is that the new speed wall, or is this something reserved for just the locust and cicada (plus a couple other speed wall gimped lights) still gets to have the "cry-alones" with a 340 max engine?

Seems unlikely the CIcada would get a speed bump, seeing as it wouldn't realistically make it any more effective. a 380XL would leave you with at most 4t of weapons...

Nah i think the 3S will be the most used
it has 2 streaks and 1 ml and has a standard engine
just change it to a xl and add bap all the spiders will be running

[DAYLEET]

isnt it late for Piranha to "hype" project phoenix? or maybe it did noot sell as well as planed.

In reality, if PGI at all did ECM and electronic equipment correctly a Locust-3S wouldn't have to mount BAP at all. Streaks fired at an ECM Mech when it was in line of sight in any Mech Warrior game and even TT.

It's true I read it on the sign on that little door that appears if you take enough of these pills the doctor gave me.

I'd imagine a that the best loadout would probably be something like 3 ML and 2 SL, or maybe just 2 ML and 3 SL. Crazy folks would go for 5 ML or even mix in some SPL. We all know that there is SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE out there that will cram an ERPPC into that little chassis, somehow.

Oh, you mean something like this? http://mwo.smurfy-ne...171dd7376086a20

I'd say about 90% of the playerbase purchased PP.

Yes, for fodder!
