Friends,

Are you looking for a clan light mech, but can't abide by the snobbish pretension of the omnimech's on their high horse looking down at the common clanner! Then I give you our salvation. The INCUBUS! It's fast its well armed it has a variant with a missile hard point. It is all things to all clanners. It is 30 tons of pure awesome!

But what about the hard point swapping?

It's a standard mech with engine awesome

I've heard the clan light mechs can't pass the muster

4 mg's make it a criting buster

I thought that mech was called a vixen?

SHUT UP FREEBIRTH!

Incubus, INCUBUS, INCUBUS!

[Lucian Nostra]

Incubus you say!



I could get onboard with this 151 kph stock before speed tweak with MGs and lasers.. yes

Would never work Piranha already has endo and an XL engine and only packs 1 ton ammo for those 12 MGs. You'd be dry in a few bursts

Decent choice but I would rather have the Horned Owl. Basically all the same benefits but with 5 extra tons.

Sorry the next clan Light mech will be the Fire Moth now that Masc is fully implemented into the game.

The Fire Moth is a light Clan OmniMech intended for scouting and infantry support/transport, and is often deployed by Clan Ghost Bear. With a running speed of 162.0 km/h, accelerating up to 216.0 km/h with the MASC system installed on the 'Mech's chassis, the Fire Moth is easily one of the fastest designs ever created, the reason the Inner Sphere gave it the codename of Dasher.^[3][5][6]

The Fire Moth was originally designed by Clan Cloud Cobra scientists as an infantry support OmniMech. The high-placed arms were positioned in order for a pair of infantry "pods" underslung on the arms of the prototype Fire Moth. Designed to ease transporting Elementals into battle, the "pods" were discarded after the first field test, but the arms were never adjusted when the OmniMech debuted in 2874.^[3][5][6][1]

Clan Ghost Bear came into possession of the Fire Moth when Clan Cloud Cobra traded the design for five years of trade considerations. Both the Ghost Bears and Clan Hell's Horses make extensive use of the Fire Moth for reconnaissance, dueling and infantry support. Because the Fire Moth is poorly armed and armored, and infantry support is a lack-luster assignment, the Fire Moth is frequently assigned to warriors who are older and lack bloodnames before they reach solahma units. These warriors tend to be extremely aggressive.^[

Speed cap says hi.

A better candidate for next Clan light Omni is the Fire Falcon, which is basically a 25-ton OmniLocust.

[LastKhan]

Fire moth looks derpy and 2fast4game.

[Sounder Till I Die]

The Fire Moth won't be in game until they allow mech fist bumping

I will not stand for you affiliating muh bugs with that frog. Frogs and bugs don't play nice.

It's more of a 25-ton OmniRaven with moar lasers.

Are you afraid of what this frog will do to your precious bug?

I guess it's closer to the Raven in terms of speed, but in terms of hardpoints it feels more Lolcusty than Raveny.

Hard-point-wise, it actually strikes me as more of a Jenner.

A Piranha with 180 engine (156.7kph) with Endo + Ferro can have 10 tons of weight and 33 slots free. 3 tons will go to DHS to make the mech rideable, which means 7 tons of weight and 27 slots available. Clan MGs cost mere 0.25 ton and 1 slot each so 12 CMGs will take 3 tons and 12 slots.
Which means the Piranha can have up to four tons of MG ammo (8000 rounds), enough to do major work. All thanks to wonders of Clan technology, something impossible to replicate with IS tech.

sooo no armor? or removing the lasers and half a ton of it's 4 tons of armor to do this?

No lasers, and shaving off some armor from the arms--since all the CMGs are in the torso. Far deadlier and enjoyable ride than the Incubus, for sure.

Fire Falcon, Horned Owl, Piranha or Incubus would be epic.

[Sounder Till I Die]

WAIT WHAT WHAT WHAT? Don't get me wrong a dozen machine guns would be hilarious but with nothing backing them up it would not be deadlier than the Incubus.
Now if it was a dozen flamers we would be talking...

A 20 ton mech that can put out 9.6 DPS without ever heating is damn deadly I say.
