regarding the targeting laser nerf:
LCT-1E, 6 small lasers, 190XL.
you run into the rear of some mech, 150 meters range, try a passing shot.
typical time between two buildings - laughably less then a second.
you cant take a second approach, because you usually need to shake off people.
nerfs damage to below acceptable for an already very dead chassis...

that light lives by the lasers, same the LCT-3M.

anyone elses opinion on playability of locust post 2nd nerfage-rage ?

that guy that changes the values should drive the locust and should be forced to play it for 200+matches  with competitive enemys without teammates he will soon realise himself pretty fast how useless that chassie anyway is.
the payouts are most of the time anyway a joke

Currently fast lights with small laser systems really suffer from the changes.

They don't. Especially not those running IS SPLs. They had to get so close before, and even if they didn't they still got over-close, that it changes nothing.

Running an FS9-A with 8x SPL on PTS3 is like taking candy from babies.

The change does do traumatic things to any Light running Medium lasers, though. They run hot, they burn long, and they have that range nerf to make none of it even remotely worth it.
