We haven't had a new light mech in awhile now, you know?
Last new light mech was the Jenner-IIC, which came out in december.
In the meanwhile. we got some heavies, and an assault and 2 mediums are in the works.
But not a single light mech! (no the Viper is not a light mech, don't try it)

So, i'll throw out just a few cool light mechs just to make you want to ask for them.
Feel free to add your own favourites.

Locust IIC (Clan 25 tonner)

If you do not enjoy the symphony of twelve Clan machine guns singing in unison, then you are a sad person and I do not wish to talk to you any further.

Shame it goes 210 kph so it's not feasible. It would have been cool having something even smaller than a locust.

Now this needs to become a reality


Though I'd buy the Locust IIC or the Fire Falcon as well

The Jackel would be fun. Also Bishop did some epic artwork on it.

I'd also go for the Javelin, 30t missile boat with energy & ecm variants.

And of course, +1 to the Piranha.

Not buying Viper, and I'm thinking of cancelling my Kodiak

Still waiting for that game engine coding fix that will pave the way for the arrival of my beloved Fire Moth.

Depending on how much "design" they could reuse from mech to mech, that's probably not a bad idea.
Although i would expect it to priced a bit higher, due to the high amount of camo patterns they would need to create for multiple heros.

Stinger/Wasp/Valkyrie should be the priority.

Locust IIc has energyitis problems. Same with prianha being ballisticitis.

I propose a solution.

Piranha variants with

6E6B

12B.

Piranha's variant 2 and 3 have 10-15 energy hardpoints. Too bad ER Micro lasers are not yet produced in current timeline. PGI can just make their own (P) versions anyway.

Stinger, wasp, or Valkyrie are the next most likely lights, but Russ said something about avoiding them for a while. Probably because the 20$ package format isn't a good fit for lights.
