yup, sadly Russ says we wont be getting the Flea,
so seeing how all IICs are unique not just Copy paste,
i thought we could use Alex's art as the Concept for the LCT-IIC,
Perhaps i should redo it in Pinata Camo like the other IICs?

he said not soon/ next.

There is a lot of possibilities that the flea may be added- one commonly suggested idea is that the flea is slower then most 20, 25, and maybe 30 tonners but it makes up for that in the ability that MASC boosts it a bit higher to say 175 to 180 kph? or at least the 169.8 the locust is stuck at.

well no actually what Russ said was "The Flea is dead to me"(Town Hall Summary!(31)
there is a very good chance MWO will never get the Flea, this LCT-IIC could save the Concept Art,

soon after that: "yea.. right now it isn't a priority at this time" <- before wave 2 occurred. Guess what else wasn't a priority at the time? Marauder, IIC mechs, etc...

[Odanan]

There are 3 Light mechs that are priority right now: Wasp, Stinger and Valkyrie.
I believe Flea will come right before those.

was this confirmed?

I mean-I would love to have those mechs however I was unaware they are already looking at the ol' unseen lights...
We need a lot more 20, 25, and 30 ton mechs.

@Nightshade24
dont get me wrong id love to see the Flea come out in MWO, id buy the pack,
its just because of MASC it would ether have to have a Very Small Engine Size,
i would rather have the LCT-IIC use the Flea Art than not have the Art used at all,
sorry if i seemed Defiant,

we won't use the Flea art for the Locust IIC.

PGI isn't lazy (well "that" lazy). They would rather completely make new art and do it that way.

On top of that the Flea art is NOT compatible with the variants the Locust IIC has. Would be the same as "why can't we just use the catapult and make it a Timberwolf?". Anyway the Flea art is not fully developed yet so it is not like we are reusing resources. It's just the concept art is done and the artist isn't struggling with art. I mean he is like 9 months ahead of the modellers and stuff, he already probably made art for some resistance IV mechs even though we do not even have a single confirmed resistance III mech. (possibly).

Polish a **** and it's still a ****. Nicely drawn though.
