6 tons of pod space with full armor right?

6.5.

Still pretty low either way.

Definitely liking the looks of this mech. Hit boxes will probably be solid & a skilled pilot will probably be able to tank a fair amount of damage if necessary. One of these coupled w/ an IFR could make an effective scouting/anti-scout team.

Looking forward to it!

Well, like to see Haruko try fit the pilot in this guy................. he'd be standing INSIDE the reactor to fit.

That said, that tiny, skinny body, and massive arms(when weapon equipped) is just what it needed to have a chance.

Rear torso might be an issue. Either way, can't wait for my NARCLynx to arrive.

About the same as a maxi commando?

Strip the ECM arm and get 7 tons; LPL/ERPPC+ERML.
One way to try it. I'm not sure I want to use short range weapons on it... but I've got some SRM and SL/ML builds as well.

One build I might try is ERLL + 3 ERSL, and find some use of that last 1 ton. Since the heat will be bad anyways I might opt in for a TC instead of an extra Dub.

2 LRM5 + 3 ERML is also possible, as long as nobody has AMS...

I would certainly say too risky for only 10 cLRMs. Even 30 is a risk, a pair or AMS will nearly remove them all.


Now, for Jesus Box builds, you are down to 5.5 tons. ERLL, ERML and...stripped head+TC1? Not really hot, so a ERSL and a heatsink doesn't seem worth it.


2 SRM4s, ERML and a Jesus Box with some ammo would be the short range one, or 3 ERMLs and SRM2s...good RoF but that does hurt the alpha potential. Also very hot with the 3 external DHS.

Day of the Raven v2. ECM Locust and ECM Lynx's running around all day

[Ultimax]

Good scaling, mech itself has a good look to it.

Could use another E hardpoint or two.

[InspectorG]

If it runs well i will get one.
Needs to be very agile at that speed.

[STEF_]

Listen to me.
This is going to be a great light.
6 tons is super fine.
I'v mastered the ferret in 3/4 days with its 8 tons.
It's going to be huge.
Just bought a commando and I'm having super fun. It works!

[Sylvian Le Fabre]

It is 6,5 Tonns. Very Important if you start doing SRM6 + 1/2 Ammo Builds (2Tons) + ErLarge (4t) e.g.

At least it runs (with Speedtweak) 124,74 km/h - 6,5 PodSpace

compared to the Spider (XL 215, 127,7) 10 DHS, Max JJ (5), BAP - 7,34t PodSpace (So i think 7,5 is ok to say)
compared to the Commando: XL 175, 10 DHS, BAP, NO Jumpjets (+3t more pod stuff) 8tons free.

My opinion as well. I don't expect it to do well, but hey, it's a 25 tonner. Not an ideal weight.

Should be a pretty good jumper, likely over 60M with mechlab stats.

Our TDK jocks would like a word with you. (Mind you I make no claims, good or bad, about commandos... I know I suck in em). Of course, they are all pretty certifiably looney, so....................

[CDLord HHGD]

I like everything but those arms..... They seem too bulky.

I think I'll make this replace my PPC poptart Cute Fox. Much better profile, although we'll see how that upper torso fares.

Not the most significant speed difference, and both lose limbs to dual Gauss.

Looks ******* awesome, and it is the correct size! yay! it stands a chance!


He reminds me of Killgore from "my life as a teenage robot"
