Yes I noticed - you can probably dig up a thread of locust screenies from a bunch of us when the locust first came out. I don't remember whom the first was to break 1k damage in a locust but it's happened for man players. I'm just letting you know - you've popped them into a couple threads, and the way forumites are... you'll become a meme if you're not careful - some guys and I did an event called "the scourging of the locusts" , we took armorless locusts with erppc's and had some grand old battles - my personal favorite locust match is 796 damage and 5 kills in a locust armed with 5 flamers all painted up in neon colors. I love locusts and use them for training any time I've been driving my other lights like I'm invincible. The 5 flamer thing was actually a training aid to cure me of my perceived invincibility - it totally works
Yes, I have put them in two threads, all shots I put in show that Lights and IS mechs are in fact still very good options, given the right pilot behind them. Good god man, I don't claim that the Locust is untouchable, nor am I the best pilot behind one. The shots I posted wasn't to brag, it was to show that they are still a very real threat to any pilots that over look them.
I am really not a pop tart, snipe kinda guy. I don't use any consumables, never have yet, and doubt I ever will. I like to get up close and personal in my Locust, so no ERppc for me. Yes I get posting screen shots of my scores might make me a target.... its all good, It will make me a better pilot if I can live through being hunted
Ha, try a 12 flamer Nova and then talk to me about a reality check to ones pilot skills. lol
You claim you got 796 and 5 kills with all flamers in your Locust....(screen shot please) prove it... LOL. I am not sure why you would tell me to get some better numbers.... 662 damage, 8 assist and 1 kill, 93 match score, only being beat out by an awesome with a match score of 118 on my team and a victory for our side, all while I was in my Locust with 5 small lasers is very decent to me. :-)
