I don't have bad experiences with 20-30 tonners really

Id hope not, the 20 tonners at least are hilariously undersized.

There is more volume in a King Crabs lower leg and foot than the entire Flea, a lot more. Id guess if the crab weighed 100 tons and assuming a roughly equal density, the flea is .. 4? tons. Certainly not 20.

Yeah - going by volume, you should be able to carry a couple of spare Flea's inside your King Crab torso's and use them as consumables!

Legendary King Crab with 2x autonomous FLE-17 drones with 180 second lifespan for me please!

The last quirk pass was literally showing this mech the middle finger giving it better jump capacity...yet, it is only able to mount 2 jump jets.

It got better JJs specifically because it can only mount two of them, it's so that you can still have useful jumping ability with just two.

While I agree(under duress!) that the 20 tonners got the better part of the resize I also agree that others got shafted like the raven and jenner. They are just too damn big for what they do and that large size makes them easy meat for todays high alpha ppfld meta.

It's a bit of fun, rvn-h
Gotta play it like a Stalker with nose on point toward bad guys.

That's why you see literally none because it only "seems" that way

I don't own one so i cannot really say.. that load out seems viable.

Firestarters got really shafted lol but tbh all lights should be Firestarter size.

only raven i like to play is my 4x with a uac20. its kind of the "surprise, youre dead" raven. try as i might the loadout does not transfer well to the huggin due to the lack of ballistic ammo quirks. the 2x gets double ballistic ammo for free, hugginn only gets extra machine gun ammo. maybe have at least 50% more ballistic ammo quirks to make dual 2s/5s loadouts more viable.

at least consider having a muninn variant (could be legendary) to maybe be either a stupid machine gun inflation variant or maybe a dual heavy ballistics platform. outlier quirks can be ammo and cooldown (dual rapid fire 2s for example).

I've seen a Rac-5 variant as well.. Face times a little lackluster though..

the rac kind of works on a raven, since exposing your flank is a huge error. if you don't fight head on you die pretty fast. of course youre still in a raven and if you take a hit it will hurt.

Yeah, the Huggin sucks since the major nerf. Back with the 40% SRM4 cool down you could chain fire the two continuously and even scare a heavy. It simply is outclassed by almost anything else you can take.

Maybe give it a speed boost; 7.5% speed like some other mechs so it can either go faster or save the engine weight for a heavier weapon.

and more ammo quirks, there's not an energy hardpoint on the thing.

[Weeny Machine]

...or just give it the frikkin 40% SRM4 quirks back. It was OP it its days...before improved hitreg. resizing etc. Nowdays, it would still need quite some uptime on a target and also close range
