Didn't they do well with the Urbie?

Flea has never had the groundswell grassroots movement pushing for it that the Urbie did.

Also, while it did good enough to get made, as an olive branch, it didn't, as far as I can tell, sell so well as to get PGI to think it was the best idea since sliced bread.

More importantly? They are Macross Unseen, so people will buy them whether good or not.

That may be true... I would still like to see it in game. If they do it like the Marauder and or Urbie then they aren't out anything as people would be voting with their $$

I would agree.

What you need, is to get the forum movement going, and enough people buggin Russ on Twitter to make him finally consider it.

It only took me 2.5 years of so doing to get the Urbie made.

So, I would say, time to get cracking!

No Flea for you - duplicate chicken-walkers need not apply!

You will get Hornet and you will like it!

Or maybe they will make us pay $ for a Wasp...

Hornet? An 81 kph 20 tonner?

Egads.

Using the default PGI formula, the max engine would be a 140. Mist Lynx speed with inferior tech...

With that microscopic engine, dear god just imagine all the Poordubs, I'm having nightmares just thinking about it, it would be a miracle if that thing could even install Endo-Steel.

Firemoth would be nice; but the same technical issues as the Flea.

[Belorion]

I don't see any of the Ost mechs ever getting in the game. I have no doubt that FD would do a good job with them (actually I liked Bishops version)

But they also don't have a huge following.

Aww c'mon, the stock load uses endo-steel! But that is exactly what makes it so feasible - it would be very unlike the Locust (heck, some good armor/structure quirks and all those JJ's on a tiny mech, could be like a 2/3 ACH! I'm thinking 4 small lasers and an SRM4 with 4 JJ's - and of cours a triple AMS variant

Doesn't the stock build use SHS, though?

Anyways, I did Smurfy it on the Lolcust and managed to fit Endo with 16 critslots left over. Still pretty pooptastic. :\
