Ohdamn.... I just realised...

I desperately need to update my signature... but my original images corrupted, so I need to rescreenshot everything.
Every. Single. Mech. I. Own.



With the new mech select screen.



Oh god.



Why did I procrastinate so long.

Screw it, new sig:

I actually went back and drove my commandos a bit this last weekend. Felt good to be a 2D Ecm Huggin. Blam, blam, blam, blam, SRM2's for days, and those poor Stormcrow streak boats or anything LRM boats that forgot to put CAP/BAP in their build, hahaha.

I really want to get the Adders as my next clan mechs, simply because of the 2 UAC2, and LRM 40 (4x10) builds. I have the UAC 2 on my KFX, and it's SO MUCH FUN. The Adder with reduced jam chance would make it even more fun.

EDIT: Strapped 1 ML, 4MGs, and 3 tons of ammo on my 1V again. So many people were confused thinking I had an ERLL in there. Killed 1 LRM stalker (ammo explosion went through legs, ST, and CT) who proceeded to yell in chat "Why is that locust running around with MGs???". He was genuinely amused by it, and thought it was a welcome change from the split second ERLL 1Vs.

LRM40 (4x10) isn't going to be as good as it could be.

LRMs / C-LRM 10's and 20's are not especially good due to the wierd weighting.


For LRMs / C-LRMs, you go:
5 = 2T, 1S / 1T, 1S
10 = 5T, 2S / 2.5T, 1S
15 = 7T, 3S / 3.5T, 2S
20 = 10T, 5S / 5T, 4S

The makes the 10s less weight efficient than the 5's, and the 20's less weight efficient that the 5's and 15's.
You make a 'better' 20 using 4x5 (8T, 4S / 4T, 4S) or a 15+5 (9T, 4S / 4.5T, 3S) meaning that the 'even' launchers are all effectively worse.

Using the 'odd' launchers nets you more ammo / armour / backup weapons.

I favour this build ADR-PRIME Which has been consistently earning me 200k+ a game (even in my non-hero ones I've been using to level it! the last game I played in my D, got 250k C-Bills and 3500XP! - and this has been basics or less the whole time!)

And thus concludes this slight detour into LRMs and Kit Foxes for this post, back to your regularly scheduled Locust Programming.

Try KFX-PRIME instead. It should be a little more sustainable (if you lose any part, the rest should still work)

Or this KFX-PRIME which should have a little more kick.

This is my standard kit fox which is fantastic fun. KFX-PRIME

Still find myself coming back to, and spending the most C-Bills on my Locusts though~

[kosmos1214]

interesting ill giveum a try some time

[3xnihilo]

50% off the Oxide. Do I need an Oxide? Opinions? I ask here because you guys can understand and relate to my play style of "locusting" better than anyone else.

If you have spare money & it's on sale...
i tried making a mini oxide with my locust S once. Wasn't tough enough to oxide but yeah.. kind of similar yet different, tankier.

[Ovion]

I decided to not last sale.
It's basically the Huggin.. but worse, and I already own a Huggin (and I don't get along with Jenners anyway).

It's quick, it's purely ammo reliant, it doesn't have jump jets and it's quirks aren't amazing, can do alright as an SRM or SSRM boat... but if you have the MC spare and really like Jenners, then I'd go for it... if it's your first Jenner... I'd say... not.

That said, it's the only Light Hero I dont' own, so I'm still debatin if that's enough reason to get it.

Edited by Ovion, 04 June 2015 - 05:42 PM.

[3xnihilo]

Hmmm... It would be the only Jenner I own. Probably not worth it...maybe I will just buy a Pretty Baby instead (cuz you know I really love my other PB they are similar right?)

[Ovion]

Do you own any Awesomes?

(I'm sorta curious as to what non-lights you own now. xD)

(Also - finished updating my sig! : D)

Haha, no I was trying to make a joke about PB's (Locust) and PB (Awesomes) but, you know, Internet and sarcasm don't mix.

My mechs are:
Everything (IS) under 35 tons (with a few variants missing)
A Raven
Cicadas
Centurions
Shadowhawks
Sparky
Jäger champion
Wolfhounds (soonish)
Hellbringer (on my Clan alt.)

Oh, I saw the joke, was just curious is all.

If you like your 'cadas and don't have it already, then the X5 is in the sale I believe, and isn't a bad little mech.

Centurion Hero: CN9-YLW "YEN-LO-WANG"
Cataphract Hero: CTF-IM "ILYA MUROMETS"
Dragon Hero: DRG-FANG "FANG"
Dragon Hero: DRG-FLAME "FLAME"
Commando Hero: COM-TDK "THE DEATH'S KNELL"
Awesome Hero: AWS-PB "PRETTY BABY"
Cicada Hero: CDA-X5 "The X-5"
Highlander Hero: HGN-HM "HEAVY METAL"
Jenner Hero: JR7-O "OXIDE"

The TDK is pretty solid.
The X5 is alright, and pretty cheap at 50% off...

I personally wouldn't bother with the rest myself. (Which is why I don't already own them...)
The Oxide if you like Jenners. (Also, it and the TDK comes with a Standard engine. WTF.)
The Yen Lo Wang is meant to be a pretty solid Centurion as things go.

[3xnihilo]

Yeah, I have the X-5 and the TDK is one of my very favorites. The Yen-Lo is tempting, but I have the AH with the cbill bonus, so I am not sure if it is worth it or not. I might just wait and see what goes on sale next week.

[Ovion]

Ay , it'll all be on sale again eventually too.

Personally, I'd like some more locust variants
Need to check if there's any more in time line.

Yes more locusts! Maybe locust hero 2

1S
1Vb

Are all in time line, don't need not in game tech (triple strength myomer) or may break the game (masc).
No reason not to have them I say!
