Screw you guys, you're making me seriously consider running a streakcrow for the FIRST FUNKING TIME IN MY MWO LIFE.

DO NOT DEGRADE YOURSELF LIKE THAT

Use a Streak Summoner, the agility is a big bonus.

This is true. I prefer the Summoner to the Stormcrow as streakboats go.

Know what's funnier?

A Streak20 Adder

2SSRM6, 2SSRM4, CAP, ammo, and a TAG/flamer/laser of your choice.

Summoner's still better unless it's a dropdeck or group queue tonnage thing, but I think the Adder's funnier than the Crow.

Assuming topic relevant....
Using a 70T Summoner... in Scouting....

Could go with a Streak Adder?

Why not run a Locust with us? Be part of the swarm.

I have a Decal in mind:

Local 666
Swarmers Union

Pentagram with 666 in it and a bug.

Nono, try Plague Local No. 8.

Locusts were 8th of the 10 plagues on Egypt, and the collective noun for Locusts is "a plague" of locusts. It works on multiple levels

Where's 3xnihilo? He'll back me up (I hope).

Plague Local No. 8...seconded.

Not opposed. Makes sense.

But the good old Satanic 'we are legion' implies swarms as well as other imagery. Beelzebub, lord of Flies. Famine.


But whatever we use, this NEEDS to be a thing.

I would love to get summoners, but I'm a F2P player, and PGI has been a bit stingy over the past year.

Streakcrows are the best I can do, with **** ping on anything except Oceanic, or perhaps streak...Griffins...

Nevertheless, once I get my last two HBK-IICs (HBK <3), I am probably going to buy lolcusts.

Edit: Streak adders are good and all, but pulse laser adders are just crezzy.

More Locust action...

One team has locusts, the other, not....

I must admit that the size isn't what make the locust so good right now... It's the minimap

[Bud Crue]

Think it maybe time to close this thread. The Locusts are no longer "underrated". Rather, they may in fact be our "dreaded and fearsome teeny-tiny overlords".

[DarthHias]

This thread will never be closed

Also all the s*ckers from the #lightsop crowd are already crying rivers of salt. I hate them with every Kilo of my XL190.

I've been using those to grease the joints of my Locust. It's making for a smooth machine, and no squeaks.

Concept for Local 8 Locust Union of Plagues


By no means finished, im just avoiding packing and moving out of my apartment.

So,

We have overall 'salty tears' shape.

Pyramid up top - Illuminati style with 'L' for Locust.

20 tons established 6-2016(hidden joke, established as in 'made man' or 'finally viable') this last patch.

The 'shadow' of the pyramid is a pentagon referencing pentagram = evil. Shadow is bigger than pyramid referencing its greatness.

'Local 8' as in the 8th plague of Egypt.

'ordo unius legionis' is google translate for roughly 'Tier 1 is leagion' or 'Legion is tier 1'. my Latin sucks.

And at the base, 'SALT' and 'RAGE' the building blocks of the Union


Input, please.

Also, ive had a stint as a designer but type was never my forte. So if anyone more skilled wants to have a go at it, go ahead.
This is for the community. This is for solidarity against all the poo poo sour butthurts who got too comfortable in their fatmechs.
This is to have something to rock on your sleeve come decal-day...or whatever we gonna call it.

Enjoi !!!

Just got to say I got my philanthropist finally on monday with all the minimap confusion going on. LCT-IV with ER Lg L and 2 MGs. 180 XL engine. Lots of poking on the new frozen city map from far away. Didn't die and shocked to see it. Was thinking I would get it with my LRM locust, but closest I ever got was 11 assists.

Abaddon/Apolyion is called the king of the locust, oddly enough a creature that "has no king"...
