Ha ha JK, its not.

Incompetent pilots will think it is though...

It won't play like your standard I.S. light, but it is a bit comparable to a Spider. Anyone out there have any unique / fun builds yet?

[Tesunie]

Just to add to the point, the Spider was considered DOA when it was released...

[Monkey Lover]

Got to be the cutest little mech i have seen yet. Its like a little bulldog.

[Mcgral18]

Perhaps Sub Optimal is a nice way to put it.

[Mordin Ashe]

ML is much bulkier than Spider so it won't have the one thing that makes Spider so great - forgiving hitboxes.

Tbh though, I am liking it better than the Ice Ferret I guess.

I like it.

Keeping weapons on it is the problem. I can't believe I am recommending people face tank in a 25 ton mech.

C variant. 2 hard points max, same arm. I'm going to love killing these in my firestarter. I'm faster, heavier armor and better weapons. GG Lynx.

[RetroActive]

YEAH!! Right on schedule!!!

[Adiuvo]

It's certainly not useful or good.

"I like it and do OK in it" =/= it's actually any good.

[Tristan Winter]

I saw what you did there.

As soon as I read the thread title, I saw it.

You had me man.

I was going to be all snarky and say "*Sigh* another day, another mech, another fool saying its DOA before playing it"

Well played, well played.

Nope, it's rubbish. Avoid at all costs.

They are not very good for now.... With the C you only get 2 hard points in the right arm if you want ecm in the left. Instant weapon loss. The arms fall off if you look at them.
Although they do jump well and are useful in the new map I guess.

They look like Minnie bodybuilder wannabe's. LoL

Except you cannot use that in CW...so it kind of sucks not having a match for IS equivalent light mechs.

[Trevor Belmont]

That's fine. I do PUG most of the time anywho.

It could still have great hitboxes, spider is thin so rounds pass through gaps.

Ahh good this is what I was expecting to see.

If it has godlike hitboxes like the Spider did when it was released it should be formidable.

[Remarius]

Well it jumps well..... but never thought I'd find a clan mech worse than the Ice Ferret...

If you don't use ECM as a crutch its workable however.
