Getting his investors together to smite that junker off the store page.

I would pay good money to pilot a giant non-canon lieutenant Uhura battlemech that could bitchslap pilots right out of their cockpit. Might as well increase the salt tenfold.

Interesting that the Piranha is actually reduced in speed and it's maximum engine rating is locked on the stock engine. 145.8 instead of 151 kph. That's a maximum speed of 156.7 kph speed tweaked. IIRC it's the same speed as the Jenner IIC.

It's probably an inept way to try to keep it balanced (and let's face it, it won't help) against the other 20 tonner - Locust, which will have a slightly bigger Max Engine of 190.

I am actually terrified of the day this thing comes out. I'm already frustrated by all the MG Cheetahs and Mist Lynxes, and now THIS thing... Gonna have to back-load armor, i guess Posted Image

Oh, i don't think it's going to be OP (no light mechs are, even if i do complain like a wuss)

Just annoying. The biggest issue i have with it (and the rest of the Clan MG lightboats) is that IS doesn't have anything comparable, with our Lights having 3-4 ballistic hardpoints at the maximum (as opposed to 8-12) and machine guns that are functionally identical but weight TWICE as much.

No JJ, no ECM, no defensive quirks (since clan tech), the Prime probably getting energy heat and range quirks, no ballistic, maybe a Night Owl like external heat transfer quirk or some such. That thing won't be OP. Just stop stripping armor from legs and back and you won't have anything to fear.

With everyone crying about 12 machine guns, people seem to forget the -2 with 15 energy... even with ER Micro Lasers it's a 36 damage alpha in 2 weapon groups... Guard your legs for the anklebiter. Posted Image

Assault light-punting would solve many problems. Maybe if we equipped Supernovas with steel tipped boots or something.

It's called collateral damage, it is often unavoidable... How ever it'd sure make the Death Star achievement easy to get....
