Since theory crafting (Lgd) mechs using the ones released as a guide is a thing now how about this one?

Locust Tormentor



PPC RANGE (ALL VARIETIES) +15%
PPC COOLDOWN (ALL VARIETIES) -35%
PPC VELOCITY (ALL VARIETIES) +40%
PPC HEAT (ALL VARIETIES) -10%
ACCELERATION +15%
DECELERATION +15%
TURN RATE +15%
TOP SPEED -7.5%
+1 Jump Jet <--Outlier Quirk/Feature

Rescaled armor quirks to make it fit.

I'd buy it for $15 twice just so I could hop back in one if I get vaporized too early in a match.



edit: Just wanted to add that PGI may use this idea freely for any reason.

I release all intellectual rights if any existed and declare this idea public domain.

Also the hardpoints are simply for my personal fit if it was made available.

No reason to not add more energy or missile or ballistics hardpoints or turn the specific quirks generic so any combo of weapons is viable.

Adding two energy to the ct along with one missile in each torso and at least two ballistics in each arm would be nice if the quirks were generic along with some ammo quirks.

Make it the ultimate general purpose locust.

And we should have 100 new topic per day: LIGHTS ARE OP! NERF OR BAN THEM! ESPECIALLY TORMENTOR!

Hmmm... Why not a mock-up Locust 2c then?

[PsionicMantis]

give me a flea with masc and jump jets, call it the gnat

If anyone dies to this mech (unless they are already opened up and cherry red) then they need to uninstall.. Yeah its got the dps but at 11 damage a pop its basically an annoyance much like the scattershot with its puny dakka alpha. Hence the name tormentor. You can do this with the pirates bane minus the jj and targeted quirks and its fun but you have to work very hard for any meaningful damage. The one upside to this build is that if you can aim you can counter other lights fairly easy.

Also what is the lct-2c? Can't find any entries for it?

My original idea was a legendary flea with masc and ecm and a single jj but no way in hell would cauldron with its wallflower mentality on balance to ever allow a strong flea loose to harass their precious direwalls and other blue lazor vomits. They already regret the buffs they gave the existing fleas.

Oooh IIC not 2c. Gotcha. Welp not interested in a clan locust even though the thought of boating heavy mediums is kinda warm and fuzzy feeling. Clan urbie however..

[Curccu]

You ECM addict...

Locust IIC 9 would be nice... like LCT-1V but with... well bit more speed.

That looks good! Only problem I see is that it's not an Incubus.

But they do release legends two at the time?

[LordNothing]

new light mechs would be welcome.

It's a matter of survival. I rarely play my non ecm lights anymore because as soon as the red dorito shows up you get smashed by every macro botter in the match. I evade after detection with ecm and very little damage is accrued. Same situation with the same class light but non ecm and almost instant ct core or legging. The macro stuff is getting out of hand in the top tiers.

[Meep Meep]

Just a bump for those that might not have seen this suggestion and to clarify some legal ip considerations.

Really wanting a decent legendary light.

[PocketYoda]

Would people actually pay money for that...



I know i wouldn't.



Urbanmech IIC now thats a different story.

It would be a better mech than some of the legendary so far especially the nerfed scattershot which no one is running now it seems.

You can try this out on the pirates bane if you want to give it a spin. Its very very fun.

lct-pb

I've also taken a shine to this fit. Quite troll.

lct-pb

As to the urby 2c yeah thats a long wanted mech but I want a line of them not a one shot legendary.

Too niche, show the LTC-m1/3S some love 1V-3V also has a better weapon platform than PB

Heh the pb is heavily over quirked now and much better than the other locust at what locust do if you are solo dropping.

At least compared to a counterpart mech like the fle20 which is sorely in need of a heat dissipation quirk at the minimum.

[LordNothing]

require light legend. do it now!

[SafeScanner]

Honestly PB's heat dissapation should be gone

The Flea-20 is fine it does its job plus it can masc if it gets hot

What i don't believe is any stealth mechs of any class should be capable of is extended combat under stealth it should have 3 choices run
1.Run
2.Destealth and fight
3.Remain stealthed hit the override and hope for the best

LCT1E would give a PB a run for its money when solo dropped

lct1e already does. Ecm/stealth is the only thing that give pb the leg up. Lct-1e usually wins in 1 vs 1 against the pb. I constantly switch between builds and mix up the lasers on 1e. My two most common are the 6x er-smls or spls. Any one sees that mech/build should be very warry of it. I got ace of spades with that mech/build.

I signed when I saw they made the lct-3s a special variant. It is one of the most meh lct out of the seven. Not enough tons to make a decent srm boar or even a single mrm 10/20.

3s-m1 can load x2 mrm 10 its just not as fast/armored but its got range
