Another mech.
Yippie.

Oh look, it's one that can add to the aspect of the game that some players are whining about (MG BOATING SPAM OP!) and that the devs are whining about (TOO MUCH BOATING = TOO LOW OF TTK!). Let not forget the near universal complaint about hit reg. which iI am certain this mech will add to the chorus of complaints.

Sigh.

I'm not sure who is who's worst enemy anymore.

[N0ni]

We can still have an Argus, Chimera, etc. The year only really just begun.

So yeah. With a 170XL, endo, FF and 4 std heat sinks, you're left with 7.5T and 13 slots to work with (after stripping the head to 5). Hmmm. It's not a lot. It is 1T more than a max engine locust though.

You could do 8 machine guns, 3 tons of ammo, and a small laser

Its basically a worse mist lynx that can go faster in short bursts

8B one cannot equip MASC. Though you can bet it will get better quirks and MUCH better hitboxes.

It's like everyone wants to this game do die or something. Self-sabotage at its best.

I guess that depends how much tonnage the MASC takes up. Will it be a couple of tons, like the Blanner, or is it based on mech tonnage?

Opps no MASC on that variant, best you can do is 6 MG with MASC.

Another mech the nostalgia lore fiends will play for five matches before flocking to the forums to declaring it's DOA-ness, before they go back to playing something else.

You lot with 20k+ posts shouldn't get too excited. If they close this forum down you'll have to go out in the sunlight for the first time in 5 years.

The hero looks like it's perpetuation of cancer.

1 energy hardpoint on the head, 1 energy in each side torso, 6 MGs in the arms.

It just means Hatamoto-Chi is at least 1 month further down the pipe. No money was given.

Why would I leave my safe space? Everything outside triggers me.

Of course everything about MWO triggers me too

IS MASC MK I is only for 20 tonners, 1 slot, 1 ton
It's like a TC that scales up with tonnage

[jss78]

I'm mildly disappointed they didn't include the 15-ton FLE-14. I guess it's understandable as it's a bit much asking anyone to pay for it, and it'd likely require some extra modelling.

Next autumn's bottom-level loyalty 'mech?

20 tonners probably dont belong in the game as is

a 15 tonner would be laughably bad

[Gas Guzzler]

I was hoping for a Sunder. Oh well.

I don't really have feelings for it and I think it will be pretty weak. They're going to balance it against a locust, the 17 has an extra energy vs lct 1e, so it's going to suffer somewhere else. 8 ballistic variant same story, except you're gonna have a struggle squeezing 8 double weight mg's in anyway. Now if we were balancing it against how the locusts used to be, I'd be excited. But with current balance it's gonna get squished.

Knowing our Balancing Overlord™, I am genuinely expecting the Flea to have quirks similar to the Piranha's.

FINALLY! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[Y E O N N E]

Goddamnit. It's sm0l and it's chicken, so I have to...

Also, if the 8x MG version doesn't at least get the armor quirks from the LCT-1V, it is not really going to work.
