Thanks PGI for this little piece of love . . .
The perfect little Pirate skiff . . .

2xML, 2xSL, 2xMG is what I'm running with reasonable success at the moment. I found that stock just wasn't good enough considering that ECM seems basically useless once in brawl range. I would drop the MGs but just cant bring myself too. I just love the look of them sticking out front

I give you the Lightning Bug!

Cdlord. Meh.

Swap to DHS, drop FF, drop armor in the arms to 7 each and you can fit on your 10 required DHS with the same loadout and double your heat efficiency.

CD you are going to burn in that build! It would even be a bad build on TT. The Panther's worst feature was it was not sinked for the ER PPC!

I've having a hard time thinking up builds. But then again, I don't plan on buying one anyways, because Lolcusts.

PIRATES' BANE

I didn't use MGs because having only 2 is fairly pointless, especially when your tonnage is so constrained as it is. I wanted an ERLL to maximize the advantages of the Magic Jesus Box and to reduce the likelihood of the mech being splattered. However, one acceptable loadout without an ERLL might be this:

PIRATES' BANE

MGs used because it's a derp mech already, so might as well derp it more.


If only PGI had the bright idea to use MG rate of fire boosting quirks instead of MG range, because the cone of fire makes more range barely useful anyways.

20% RoF increase from 10 bullets per second to 12 bullets per second would be SO much more valuable, and we already have the code to do it! The code is already used by the AMS overload module. The same syntax would be used, just applied to a mech quirk instead of a module. But that wouldn't be as lazy as a pointless range nudge for a gun with a CoF.

I haven't played or even bought it yet. I am conceptualizing. I have grown fond of the ERPPC, but I usually go for max armor and max engine first. Since it's ECM, that's another. Probably build it into a fast escort, 4xSLs, 2xMGs.... Time will tell.

Between the Pirates' Bane and the Mist Lynx, I got my work cut our for me finding a build that works for me. And yes, some of my builds can be called bad.... Until you see me in one. Then people are sad. Sad because people have no F'ing clue how it works for me...

[TercieI]

I'm running 4ML/ECM. I like it. Will try SPL, too. 2MGs is useless and requires too much face time.

[QuantumButler]

If you must have an ERPPC you could do this too http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ccea96ced455498

A good bit faster than the XL100

If you dropped ECM you could get up to a 170 in there but that defeats the point of this mech.

Fun little mech aside from the blinding MGs!

Mixed blessing that we could actually install flamers on pyrophobic Lori's mech. I'm sure she'd love that~

[Porcorosso101]

I initially had no skill with PB, it was my first ever light...so i lost, lost, lost! the initial set up was too short ranged, i swopped to ERLL, it was ok for a while but not enough dps and not great for drive by shooting....then i swoped to 4MLs and learnt how go max speed and shoot non stop...2 games = 5 kills = 700,000cbs = 6000xp.

Is it a premium wkend?, as im getting double everything

Locust PB i LOVE YOU!
