I think Oxide is pretty balanced as it is now. With jumpjets it would be way to OP.

I think a lot of this is sour grapes™ or a lack of understanding about what the Oxide can do.

Don't get me wrong: there are a lot of valid points in there. Not being able to place damage where you may want it to go being one of the largest. JJs? Situationally missed at best.

The ultimate truth is that this thing is a combo light hunter/harasser on steroids. Target just JJ out of your ability to follow? Just go find a new target. They'll be back EVENTUALLY. . to die.

The thing is also durable as all get out. I've been pretty shocked by how much damage it takes without folding over.

3 tons armor

And every other light weeps in the meantime.


Except the 3L, perhaps.

Id got two, one for streaks and one for srm's. Id had some practics with walking only jenners before. But Jenner With no JJ on it usualy is walking dead.And problem is not with jumpjets it self, problem with terrain and sudden stop on even a small rocky on the ground.

I'm sure most people's intent was to boat Streaks or SRM, which means you must get in close. Without JJ, this is unwise against anything heavier. So yeah, I have no intention of purchasing the Oxide without JJ.

Wow guess PGI doesn't like my posts. All are being deleted. This mech blows. With no JJ it needs ECM.

I like this mech. But just one (1, uno) teeny-weeny little jump jet would sure have been nice.

Would purchase the Oxide immediately IF IT MOUNTED JUMP JETS?



Even just 1 and I might consider it.

Reasons why I wont buy one
  • No JJs
  • I have been waiting for a new hero light, but I know well from the 3s locust that even if you bring streaks and bap you quickly get double ecmed and be worthless so no to the 4 ssrm2 build
  • srm2/4/6 are very hit and miss right now especially on faster mechs
  • lrms can be used yes but NO TAG and now that the missile tubes are updated on the other jenners they can run lrms+tag
Guess I will just stick with my herp 2 LL founders jenner and my lrm sarah jenner.
