Same here. My "performance" is irredeemable.

That is so ******* good!!!!!

I've missed Locusts so much I bought the Pirate's Bane with today's sale. (along with a Huggin )

I've got to say (barring the Urbanmech) this is my best performing light so far. I've done great with the 1E, 3S, and the 3M but I seem to be doing much better in the PB. I was skeptical at first, but the ECM really does go a long way to boost the Locust's longevity.

I really hope at some point we get a Locust IIC

That's a Locust at any given moment in its life.

Also, that gif never gets old.

I should not have laughed as hard as I did.

Madkat, would you please post that in the Mechwarrior Meme Thread?

Done.

Anyone kind of nervous for the mech balancing? I sure hope they don't kill the Locust's maneuverability, or make it bigger or something. It's not the best mech for winning games but it is the most fun to play. Perhaps just a small subset of the player base actually plays these things, and they will go mostly untouched..

The balancing is mainly focused on quirks. No re-scaling, or even messing with hitboxes.

ah, I just noticed the public test is up, I guess I should go check it out

[IraqiWalker]

So I got back into the 1E, to try and get full master on it (I know. I'm ashamed)

First drop. I basically died playing miserably.

Second drop is in the screen cap. I faced an enemy locust with MLs, and he wasn't happy that I killed him. (He overheated so I got behind him, and popped a full 6 SPL alpha into his rear CT). I told him he should have chain fired, and he kept calling me to 1v1 him.
By the way, the XP I'm getting is for my first win of the day in that mech, so it's doubled.

First rule of light dogfighting: Don´t overheat ^^

Double XP weekend! (so double double your first win). good chance to elite or master all those Locusts you've been neglecting

Good, now I can master the 3V

It's nice isn't it.

Now we just need more Locusts to master.

Initial thoughts: The underrated LCT-1V doesn't do anything that the SDR-5K doesn't do better.

The lamented 1V does Large Lasers and flat mobility better.
I own 2, one with 4MG, 1MPL and one with 2MG, 1ERLL.
The ERLL quirks make it fire like a Medium Laser.

The 5K can find sniping nests and jump, but doesn't turn as well.
I have and enjoy both though.

Anyone using the Locust in the event?

It's not too difficult to get 300 points in the 1E. 400 though, that's pretty hard. SO many Dires out there now. I'll probably have to use assaults or heavies to get those 400s.
