Or should I just pass on the Black Lanner.

Too bad. Would be an interesting scout mech. Faster than a Stormcrow, but less weapons.
Probably couldn't brawl with Bushwackers, etc. anyway.

Go on. Insinuate the Shadow Cat is not good in a brawl. Let me just grab my tea, first.... Has more podspace than the Lanner, and being 10 tons lighter is naturally a smaller target with massive amounts of jump jet ups to outmaneuver the enemy.

the shadowcat actually gets more podspace than the black lanner. as well as being smaller and more agile.
I mean im not saying the shadowcat is great or anything. just that the black lanner is probably worse.

Translation: Harder to hit, easier to outmaneuver the enemy, and brings a heavier payload more suitable to a swirling brawl at the speeds the mech moves at.
3/4 of the MWO playerbase thinks the Shadow Cat is a bad mech in scouting. I can only imagine what will be their thoughts on the Black Lanner, given its inherent limitations. Not that you can even use the Black Lanner in scouting, but if you could.... Ehhh.

And I don't even bother with the ECM in scouting. Once the inevitable brawl happens, that fourth ASRM6 is worth its weight in californium. My personal ride carries four ASRM6 and 2 ERSLas as backups, for example. Certain pieces of equipment like ECM are of limited value unless you intend to avoid combat entirely in scouting. Lanner with maxed armor, minus a few points in the head, puts it at 11.5 tons of free pod space. 10.5 if you insist on that ECM. Most of the guns are in the arms, so that makes it rather difficult to save tonnage by shaving those. :\

I love my Shadowcat and it can really pack a punch so you can do great things in it. But it is a little bit low on armor so if you are not great in it then you should probably not bring it to scouting. But hey people can be great in all sorts of mechs. I was speaking more generally. For the masses a Nova would probably be a better choice.
Although I'm pretty tempted now to call it a crap mech only to troll you

If it was...nobody would buy it for scouting other than a handful of people. They'd use crows again.
