Both mechs have a very very limited weapons loadout and will easily be torn apart with all the weapons we currently have and their slow nature wont help 1 bit.
IMHO i think the Stinger and Wasp should have access to 90-100% Medium laser CoolDown so that it functions like a Tag and slowly builds up heat like a flamer, this should allow them to stay relevant and give them a chance vs a larger mech.

I think they should get the 'Can we please stop baiting lawsuits' quirk.

Alternatively, more armor quirks than the Locust and a whole crap load of hardpoint inflation.

PGI should make hero mechs called HG slayer or something and then allow the community to pick either of them as a "Yay harmony gold is dead"
or they should do a lawsuit fund and all people who helped pay get a ANTI hg variant

I've been after these for years are they due or is it just wishful thinking?

They need a Robotech color scheme and an f--u HG cockpit item and then they need lct-1v(p) level laser quirks before it was nerfed. They come into the game I'll go either collector pack or ultimate depending on funds. Pretty sure the art dept will make them kick @s$ in the concept area. Then it'll be up to the 3d modler (s) and animators to make them great.

There are variants with MASC and ECM. A couple of them have paired missile hardpoints, and a couple of them have 4-5 energy hard points. I think they'd compete well with the Commando or Locust.

That's the only thing that really helps them stand out from the Locust anyway, besides the humanoid design schemes

[Metus regem]

Well for starters, engine cap of 175 as a minimum. From there I'd give them a durability quirk and hard point inflation... well not the WSP-1W, she doesn't need it with 8E stock...

[Novakaine]

Wasp and Stinger LAMS.

As long as certain matters are not resolved yet: wishful thinking, unfortunably.

They can't do either of those things and won't.

A light IS Mech as easy to kill as the Piranha and even slower? It will never work in MWO

Exactly. IS lights particularly depend on being extremely fast to live long enough to do any damage. IS xl vs the lfe debate goes on then you have to factor in the mandatory external heat sinks of which you must have three on the xl 190. 20 tons IS mechs such as the locust have at best just seven tons for every thing.

Hard point count,type and location can also determine how useful a light mech is. Other than trolling with an lfe or std engine for the hell of it I have no other use of the spider 5v due to it's only two laser hard points being in the ct. Sadly we all know ten damage or more from a spider is op in pgi's view.

The same thing happened to clans' jenner hero. I've seen it once or twice and it vanished from play in qp. Guess six mgs combined with all the the jenners' other problems hit home for the unfortunate few who bought the mech.

[nelzie]

The only quirk that a Stinger or Wasp needs is the LAM quirk.

They can use the Re-seen Designs.
