Because it has no guns. I run mine with a single LPL, and it is hilarious.

I favour twin MPL, twin MGs myself.

Yeah I run mine like this. I love the armor quirks, I feel invincible

If only that IS PPCs were small enough to fit on CTs, I would totally put an ERPPC on that locust and just laugh xD

I think every locust pilot on this thread has had the same thought

This would be pretty funny.

I've got mine loaded out with the LPL, though it's been a while since I've run it last.

I just can't PPC, so apart from for other people via 'build guides', no... but that makes it yes.... damn.

Love the LPL though.

Playing the 1M is actually way more fun than I remembered. I usually play knife fighting ******** but the 2ml 2srm2 1m is capale of short duration knife fights and crit hunting as well as proper long range harassment.

but it would also have to have the quirk "when locust fires ERPPC from CT the locust is flung backwards 100m at the same time"

AC2 Locusts should totally do that. That would be pretty funny. It would even give you a reason to put rear armor on a Locust, since you could charge-launch toward the enemy even faster by facing backwards and holding down the trigger.

LCT-1V AC10

AC2 is still too light. Man up and put on an AC10 on a locust! Sure, you only get half a ton of ammo, you're slower than an Urbanmech, and you have literally no armor - but the entertainment value is through the roof!

(okay, just for real. I tried THIS one in game: LCT-1V AC5)

I don't see why I can't use my Urbanmech cast-off engines in Locusts, would still be able to keep up with Assaults!

I face tanked a Treb while in my 3V and I won (lost a leg, but I did walk away!)

I think they should readjust lower engine limits to allow any that could feasibly take a 60 by the rules to do so.

I would use it to have a twin AC2 PB.
Or maybe an LBX10 Locust if I can pull it off.

LBX10 is actually possible right now if you have a XL100 engine and no armor at all. You can have 1.5 tons of ammo in there (in a mech that really only has 10 hitpoints max on any part). Good failure fun!

Unfortunately, unless we can have the UrbanMech's STD 60 engine on a locust, a GaussCust cannot happen just yet :C

Oh. AC2x2 locust? challenge accepted. LCT-3V 2xAC2

Definition of FUN

I'm so furious I could scream right now. I just had a 1300+ damage game with my 1E, which is a new record, and either I hit the wrong button or it glitched because it isn't in my screenies. Still only had 7 kills though. Stupid Ace of Spades yet eludes my grasp.

[Fox With A Shotgun]

Actually, now that I think about it.

If Locusts were allowed a STD 60 engine (-2.5 tons):

Endo Steel structure makes the locust chassis exactly 1 ton.
SHS x 8 + STD 60 = 5.5 tons
Locust total max weight = 20 tons.
Unfortunately that leaves only 13.5 tons to play with :C no AC20 locust...

But if the Locust IIC comes in (25 tons), we can definitely have the AC20 locust!

Ok, to update, I confirmed on another almost 1k damage loss that the printscreen button is doing nothing for me. :\
Super.

The way screenshots are saved was recently changed so that the date is part of the name. This means newer screenshots get saved at the beginning of your screenshots folder now not he end. I had the same issue a couple weeks ago until I went through my whole folder and realized what happened.
