so...

When is it?

when google fiber is a server. like, the fibre is the server and it's directly connected to the back of everyones computer.

The devs probably got discouraged when they saw how rarely the Locust ever gets used.

[Deathlike]

Never. In fact, Russ mentioned that himself.

MASC would break the Flea... as the current speed cap is ~170kph.

Or heads.

I like the locust.

There are plenty of people that still want it.

Flea will suck I want the Firemoth!

People used to say the same thing about the Warhammer and the Marauder.

Actually I think FupDup used that image in a discussion about the Unseen long ago.

I don't ever recall posting a dead horse gif on this forum until this thread, at least I don't think?

PS: The unseen aren't a very good example because they are VASTLY more iconic and nostalgic than the Flea ever has been or ever will be, and in some cases they fill roles that aren't filled yet (or at least, are marginally different at doing the same role).

Maybe not you then, but others...

Some of the unseen are arguably worse mechs than the Flea.

I also like the locust. And I'd like to zip around in the flea, too.

But I'm just calling it as I see it.

The unseen "bug" lights do at least have a few more differences compared to the Lolcust than the Flea does. Flea is basically a Lolcust with a 170 engine cap...

Don't say MASC, because the Shadow Cat has proven to us that MWO's MASC is amazing for slow and clunky mechs like the Executioner while sucking on mechs that are already fast and agile by default. The Flea would not gain a single thing from MASC, and it would be more productive to use that 1 ton on an extra heatsink.

Russ has stated several times that the flea s not remotely a priority and as far as he is concerned, probably never.

Which makes sense....it's just a worse, slower, Locust.

Blasphemy...

Still not much hope for the Wasp and Stinger, if the Flea is not a priority.

....really? News to me. I'd take a Stinger or Wasp over a Flea....... I guess one could make a case for the Ostscout?

[Belorion]

Didn't they do well with the Urbie?

Both match the speed of most Flea variants, and add JJs.

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

Urbie is vastly more famous and has more differences compared to other lights (especially vs IS lights) than the Flea does.
