ECM carriers (and most other mechs) will probably be able to put down Koshis fairly quickly, so this probably won't be that much of an issue. If it is, then I guess I wouldn't be particularly sad to see less Jesus Box usage in the short term.

ECM takes an entire arm placement and it only has arm placements.

I imagine that most of the "sensible" hardpoint layouts will be either 3 energy + 2 missile hardpoints or 4 energy. Jesus Box doesn't seem to be worth it on this mech.

It has a joke about how the koshi has a CAP in the head. The black thing is an ECM suite.

The Koshi has the potential to be the Clan version of the spider. With 3 times the firepower. Alot depends on how broken the hitboxes will be.

Normally fast Lights with 140kph speed gives me a pause, but I just happen to be eliting the laser vomit Timbie, which can disable a sprinting Firestarter's leg in one sweep. Quite silly really, to be able to do that.

While I agree taking ecm will make it too gimped in firepower I did play around with the B right arm (2m 1E) with ecm on a mist lynx idea by taking only a cerll and 2 cssrm2 with a ton of ammo on a ice ferret. It was a decent punch if your main goal is to escort friendly mechs with ecm and then bap the enemy ecm up close or you know just go poke things from a distance with your erll

aint everyones playstyle but it should be ok if it aint over extended.

Who cares about the ECM-arm? Moar lazors and rockits!

ECM isn't particularly useful unless you're planning on playing it like a PPC Spider.

Perhaps an ERPPC poptart, with a Jesus Box.

Just hope the RNG gods don't pop your head.

Not fast enough and too hot to be compared to the Spider. It might be something, but I admit I don't have high hopes. 6 JJs should be fun, at least.

THIS is a change I can support. Allow the ECM to be a Torso mount Hard Point... IF there is room for the 2 crits. ;)

ECM is in a good place now with BAP actually being useful against it.

And I'll keep laughing at the usual suspects DoA announcements, as I use the ECM version as a superior/NARC delivery unit, with a good blend of size, decent speed, jumpjets narc and ECM. Will make a very good spotter for team drops.

Players here think way to 2 dimensional. 1) IS IT 170 KPH!?!?!?!?! 2) CAN IT PACK AS MUCH PUNCH AS A MEDIUM!?!?!?!!?

If not, then obviously it can't be good.....because there are no other measurements. (Yet all the QQ about LRMs)

Sure, It won't have a lot of use probably in High Elo or Comp matches.

So.....5% of the Population?

I think one had two slots, the other was full.

I think. It would be a nice buff.


I'm still not sure about the ECM and AP relation when in counter mode. Does it counter at 180M or 360M?

Will it only use the hardwired AP if the Jesus Box is broken or not equipped?

I imagine you won't be hearing "omg we don't have ECM" much for the next couple days. It looks like a fun little mech, even if I'm not great with lights whatsoever. I haven't really even looked up any builds or what the hardpoints are going to be.
