Rhaythe - lets do 2 builds - one with a PPC, one with a large pulse. That covers every single locust chassis - thoughts?
Even the ballistic locust has a CT energy that'll hold a large pulse.

boo on the slaser! but... what about a single flamer as a backup weapon?

I'd take that.
With no armour it's actually semi-effective even if you can hold it on target.

I dunno - I almost feel like we're opening it up too much - we could make it all LPL's - that way every single locust can run it? too bad you can't fit a ppc into the CT.... Every mech on the field being identical (armorless, same speed) makes it funnier... If it's 2 builds only, we could say A or B only, so the xl190 PPC one, or the AC5 one, those are the only two options, something like that?

OR - PPC mech with zero armor, or unarmed locusts with full armor that way they can be guided missiles!

No guns isn't really guided missile, more just 'target'. xD

No comment on the no armour / 1 weapon only rule idea?

Granted, but then, that center torso weapon can't be shot off like the arm-mounted weapons. I think for the first go-round, we should restrict to the two builds in the original post. If this proves entertaining enough to have a second go-round, we can adjust. We don't have to get everything perfect the first time around. Let's keep it all on an even footing for the first match.

ok - I'm just worried a lot of people wont be able to participate, since they sold all but the ballistic locust

too complex. What I originally wanted was 12v12 unarmored unarmed locusts just crashing into each other, but I don't think enough people were interested. Rhaythe throwing a ppc on there generated a bit more interest.

Rhaythe - standard ppc only, right? So the users have to worry about range?

I was figuring ER-PPCs to avoid minimum range mix-ups. But hey, whatever the masses worthy. I'm good either way here.

ok cool - I'll probably go ppc for the extra challenge of trying to dictate range

[BlazeOn]

Signed up on your form Fiero. I'll be there to welcome all to our WBH TS Server with open arms and PPC's to the face.

This because I sold off my Locusts minus the one that can not be sold ! Which is the 4B 1E (in the CT) one.

That rhymes.

[Rhaythe]

The masses have spoken. You guys wanted Locust 1V's, so we'll have Locust 1Vs! I'll adjust the original post with that build.

I really hope I can get back from college in time.

My Locust 3M is ready.

PPC Locusts are now the "Hot" mechs of the day on Smurfy's:

Special thanks to the Windbourne Highlanders for hosting this event on TeamSpeak. I look forward to seeing everyone online tonight!

(Now to get my two year-old to go to sleep...)

[TercieI]

Was so looking forward to this, but the worst headache I've had in years is sending me to bed early. Please do it again sometime, k?
