And that is why I try to evaluate mechs on, I don't care about the meta, as the meta can and will change sooner or later. I also don't care about number of hard points, I care about hard point positions and tonnage for weapons and equipment, while being able to maintain a decent speed with good armour, even bad hit boxes can be mitigated by good piloting. That all being said, not everyone is meant to be good in every mech. I'm good with Dragons, but suck with Storm Crows, I'm beastly with Warhammers, but average with Timber Wolves

Understandable. That said, until "one big gun" approach works with the context of MWO, number of hardpoints is just as important as podspace. Take the SHC. She can poke all day long, but if you want a mech that can mix it up or hit very hard upfront than you are better off in an Ice Ferret - and the IFR has even less free tonnage available but more E slots. Something with the SHC's pod space and IFR's hardpoints would be ideal for a lower end medium. Hardpoints to utilize various weapons in good quantities and the tonnage to fit those weapons.

Edit: I spotted a Tina lurking!

Sadly enough, yes, the Phantom is restricted to laser vomit, makes me sad too, but, what light clan mech doesn't have laser vomit as a standard? *cough Cheeto cough*

She is very irritating to people.

Sorry, I meant to type "I don't care about types of hard points, I care about number of hard points, position of hard points...."

Down with Meta!

Sort of a mix what I'm good with to me, I'm good in Orion IICs, Timbers, Jenner IICs, Warhammers, and suprisingly, the Dire Wolf at times.

Yea... she really should check on the inmates every so often, no telling what me might do to the asylum if they let us run around unchecked...

Lol I've tried that before, I've had at one point an Atlas pilot flip out at me from the opposite side. Satisfying at the most at times

And that's why Volunteer Mods are here for, and why I'm one

OFC I can be wrong at times, but most of the time it's understandable, considering what happens at times here...

Great job with the art! I'd remove the non-Pouncer art, though, just to reduce clutter. >_>

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that Scout Derek didn't suggest the OP use the spoiler tags to hide the clutter.
