Good.

[FupDup]

It's a Locust 2.0, more or less. This game usually isn't very kind to mechs on the lower end of the tonnage spectrum, particularly 20 tonners...

[Brody319]

its a bad locust!

[TercieI]

I really like LCTs, I just can't see how another 20-tonner would really be any different.

[Ecrof]

The Locust is my favorite mech, the Flea will have less cockpit bars.

Rip in pepperonis 'lil guy.

Its not dead...the problem is its one of the mechs with MASC that breaks the game/engine because it goes too fast...yeah, imagine... The Dasher (Fire Moth) is the other problem light that also breaks it.

PGI has said they may be willing to implement other mechs with MASC that don't cause the issue, but those specific 2 and others like them are 'on hold' for now until they can solve the issue. Personally I think we could just 'ignore' masc like C3 Units and use them 'as is' because of the engine range mechanic we use. The Fire Moth even goes 162 kph stock and would hit 180 kph with speed tweak.

WAIT...GUYS...What speed broke the game/engine? Cause a 180kph Fire Moth?! WITHOUT MASC?! If that doesn't break the game I think it would be fine to release mechs without MASC. It would go 238 kph with Speed Tweak + MASC. THATS INSANE... NO BAD MASC, BAD.

Would've had less, would've.

It was said during last town hall that the Flea is dead.

No, it was said that they hadn't fixed the speedcap issue. They never said that it was dead, just that it was sidelined.

uh it would go 178. which is only 7 kph faster than the commando's top speed. would be pushing the limits, but not breaking it.

Muh bad, I can do maths...

Okay I don't know why, I was under the impression MASC made it break the speed cap too, didn't realize the speed it actually went.

I don't know why he said that honestly...Russ needs to not be a ****, and the way the Urbanmech went, plenty of people want the Flea too. It carries 2MPL, 2 SL, and 1 Flamer stock. Other than the FLE-14 the first few variants also are viable as well. Ideally it would be the smallest IS light model in the game so far too, meaning great, small hitboxes. It would be an amazing scout mech.

They should fix MASC and bring out the Flea. MOAR MECHS FOR MECHAJESUS (Urbanmech)!

[Brody319]

behold the Flea

But think about it, the ingame model would be smaller than the Locust even. O_O

Probaly a bit taller actually. The body shape of the flea is more vertical, and the locust is more horizontal (jenner-like).

you wanna trust PGI to scale it properly?

[MauttyKoray]

Have you seen the Panther and Enforcer? It will either me amazing or pure crap. Depends on which 3D mech modeler or how close to the deadline it is I'm assuming... So no, its a 50/50...

It looks so amazing.
