Ah, I made a grave error in judgement a year ago......I was utterly frustrated with the little bugs after I bought the phoenix pack.......so much so that I couldn't even stand getting them through basics. But back then I didn't even know a quirk system was planned.......so now Im stuck with the phoenix locust (which admittedly I will probably always hate, its the machine gun one......ugh why couldn't they have made the energy boat one the phoenix variant? Ugh.) and I can't even run fast in it. Needless to say, I need to re-buy and finish out my Locusts, but I keep getting distracted by all the pokemon they keep releasing and buying other things. So I'll bite, and I will be very grateful to you if I am deemed worthy. I actually kinda NEED the thing.

You should be able to afford a locust every 1-3 days, then an XL190 every 2-4 days.

I'm up to 8 now.
I would enjoy a second 3V for stock shenanigans. (or AC2's)

Oh sure why not.

I'm going to borrow that breakdown info for the top if you don't mind

I started as an assault pilot, few years ago. My first mech was a Stalker. Through these years I step by step slowly went down in tonnage (phracts, bolts, hunchies) and now, in 2015, I started thinking about mastering few lights, both clan & IS.

Few days ago I even tried a trial Raven and it was tons of fun, so I'm looking forward to start piloting some lights (just need to finish mastering clan CW drop deck, it's damn expensive).

And if I win this free Locust, I will definitely keep it in my hangar. And it wont be collecting dust, just like my 1st mech.

[Saikyou]

i demand a locust sacrifice!

Go for it.

The main thing that bothers me, is the +Armour points, as you still get to add / distribute the usual amounts in mechlab.

So on things like CT / ST, how does it distribute the +8/+5pts of armour?
Is it all front?
Is it split evenly?
Is it simply the first X points from either direction?

[Escef]

I've had Locusts since Project Phoenix hit and I still haven't mastered any of them out... Fully elited... 3, I think. Dunno why Locusts are so difficult for me, I do just fine in Commandos.

Anyway, yeah, I'll totally take a free Locust if someone wants to throw one my way.

[Khwaj]

it's nice when people do things like this for the community, good on you.

[Soulsbane]

Ah hell, I'm in.

[NUK3]

Oh yesssss more locust please!

I would like to see LCT-6M Locust.

This baby is probably the fastest 'Mech ever made in the BattleTech universe. Do you think that 170 km/h is fast? LCT-6M moves 300 km/h.

And with a pair of Er Medium Lasers and one ER Small Laser.

Nothing like clearing the the game table from end to end in one turn. Virtually nothing hits it when it's going max speed.

Until someone gets an insane luck roll with a tag laser, and then....

[Sparver]

Thank you for the chance. I love my lights and would like to try the Locust.

[Sorbic]

[Night Thastus]

Woot! I'd love a Locust. Fast little buggers, and pack a *tiny* punch too!
Real nice you're giving these away!

[Taelon Zero]

FOR THE SWARM!!!

[polarman]

[Dimento Graven]
