Here's the problem: slower Lights = dead Lights.
Their only defense is speed, otherwise they're useless wastes of tonnage.
I wasn't suggesting they'd be slow. My 3L goes about 140 which gets me out of most scrapes so I don't feel a cap at slightly above 150 would be unreasonable. They could get a bit more armor instead. An alternative would be to let them keep the 170 max speed but make a slight reduction to turning rate.
I've had AC20 rounds pass through mechs running in a straight line towards me. I like the Raven but sometimes it feels like I am playing Quake or Jedi Outcast with mech skins instead of piloting a 25-35 ton warmachine.
