Hi there, I was just building a Spider mech and realised that only the SDR-5V and SDR-5K are able to equip an XL285 Engine. Is there a reason why the SDR-5D is unable to get higher than XL255? after spending over 4 million Cbills on my Engine, I expected it to be compatible with my other Spider Variants. Nothing mentions why only those two variants can have it. Also, it would be nice to be able to see how fast the mech will go with a Given engine without having to purchase it. I realise that I can simply purcahse it and cancel if I'm not happy with the speed, but there are cases where I may not currently have the necessary C-Bills to purchase the engine, but would still like to plan which one I'm going to purchase in the near future.

The 5D being stuck at a 255 engine is compensation for the fact that it gets ECM and better hardpoints than the 5V.

Because none of the Spiders should get an engine capable of moving them to 153kph (169kph w/Speed Tweak).
You have ECM and JJ's on a 'Mech that ignores 90% of incoming damage, not to mention its superior hardpoint locations. I think you can deal with not being able to go as fast as the others.
Also, I hate you for piloting a Spider.

Right but for the Wrong reason, the spider should be able to equip a 335XL if all lights and mediums weren't nerfed because of Netcode.
All light mechs should be able to equip and engine = or less then 1.4 * the factory engine size.
240 * 1.4 = 336 rounded down to 335XL or STD335 (
)That engine would put the spider around 200 kph, so your right spiders shouldn't get an engine capable of 153 it should be much higher!
The 5D got trolled.
