Let me rephrase. We'll see lights, but they'll be few in number. We have very few left that won't be DOA - legitimately DOA because of size, engine cap or hard points. I appreciate wanting more light mechs but what GOOD ones are left that won't need a lot of quirks?
I'm genuinely curious, btw. This isn't a rhetorical question.
I am actually uncertain as well, there are a few interesting options like the
Mongoose, then there are other 25 ton mechs still possible to do, but, the event showed that 25 ton mechs are actually the worst in the game, sadly. Another option is the replacement to the Mist Lynx, the
Fire Falcon. Back to the IS there is the
Nexus which is an interesting option as well, focused on lasers, even has an ECM version that requires no new tech. Then there is the clan
Locust IIC which the Locust does well so the IIC should do reasonably well but it has hard points for days in the laser department. There are a lot of 25 ton mechs to pick from and that is all I named here and those are just 2 clan and 2 inner sphere options. This is nothing to speak of the other 3 weights in the light class.
