I've been grinding my KDRs up lately, seeing how many mechs I could get up to 2.0.

My Locust still survives the top 10, above many of my meta clam mechs. =D

Locust tactics = DO NOT DUEL OTHER LIGHTS

At least not early in the match...

I will admit, I break this rule every time I see another Locust. There can be only one. Must squish the other cookie before someone else on my team does.

I did that on Crimson Straight recently. I got the enemy Locust, but I was cut up enough by the end of it that I think I died a minute or two later with only about 200 damage to my credit. It was a waste of a good mech all for the sake of the honor duel.

When 2 lights duel, no one wins.

The Light mech chassis is one of the most balanced ones in my opinion, simply because of this near constant fact (some lights break it too hard). When two lights fight, the one that wins is always in scraps. Which isn't the same for almost any other class.

Had to post it even though it's unpolished. I was having too much fun making it.




Notice at 3:21. HBR throws his arm at the locust, trying to fend it's vicious attack.

Is that your own spreadsheet (the color scheme is very MWO-y)? I was gonna ask, where can I get a stat page with some semblance of organization lol.

It looks official though, nicely done. I frantically headed over to the stats page hoping that it was like that.

Has anyone else had their cockpit camera JUMP from behind their Locust, if you run up a certain shaped obstacle the right way? gives a brief flash of your pilot, and then zooms right back in.

Happens quite a bit on funny cliff faces on Crimson Strait.

That little "whoop" actually happens in all mechs. It's more amusing in heavies and assaults, albeit rarer.

Gonna be taking a break from mwo for the next week or so so i thought id make the
Most of it. This game is so boring when your not in a locust. Especially duelling with firestarters and winning.

Thanks mm you did good tonight (except for friendly caused death)

Yeah, soon as I am done Eliting my ACHs, I am going back to the LCTs. I miss the wub wub fun of the 1E. Very few mechs can put you within 50 meters of your enemy one second, and 300 meters away the next.

I have not had the time to drive my locusts lately, with 'phracts, griffins, and ravens to level during the double xp weekend (and beyond). I miss them :(

I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with this mech, the speed is nice but there's no give on the armour you take a bit of damage you're done for and there's no duelling with either.

You need to be a little careful, but no - Locusts are nasty in the right hands.

Double XP weekend is my reason to drive the 1E even more. I'm now up to 1.5M mech XP. Hoping to hit 2M by the end of Summer :lol:
