I try to make room for BAP on all of my builds. The faster target analysis is huge for me in my lights because I play hit & run mostly so I like to know what I am hitting before I run. :)

I'm trying to start a new trend: at the beginning of the match, tell the pugs some variation on "Your goal: perform better than the Locust!"

and then of course get matches where my Locust has either the top damage or match score.

Whaddaya think? xD

I had one Atlas tell me he was going to, but he never even saw me once before he died. Gotta go fast! :lol:

If I tried this I would die a fiery death 45 seconds into the match with 3 damage :)

BnZ is probably the best for the locust otherwise it is a tag and ER Large as your other option because brawling is just not an option in real pug matches. This is because of, well ... you know ... cookie. Everyone turns and chaases the cookie!!! And this happens a lot with the locust. So BnZ works best because you know you are going to need to run away, sadly though like all mechs you normally get ***** in the butt by a gauss, ppc, or ac20 chasing you down as you zoom away.

i didn't really notice much of a difference with my 1E. I didn't change the loadout but that 230m range on SL (with range module) is pretty enticing now for boating them. I mean, thats nearly stock ML range. Makes me think of the C-SL when it was 200m and 5 damage.

I think someone posted earlier that you can do 6 SL with 190XL and DHS, without any wasted tonnage, as long as you don't have ferro with your endo.

You can also use a 190 STD with DHS (with ferro and endo), but it's not as heat efficient as the non-ferro one with XL. I still like running 6 ML on it so I might just buy the 190 STD

This game. I just...I don't even have words. It's like every SRM4x2 volley I fired just MURDERED SOMEONE. I eventually died because I ran at a cored Stormcrow and didn't realize he had an C-LBX20 mounted. Oops. :x
