It's so great because lights just come running up to me thinking that I'm just an LRM-boat; then when they try to run, I can still hit them!

I'd like to thank everyone who has so exaggerated streakcats that most players unconsciously categorize mechs into one of the standard loadouts and think they don't have to look at their target information screen.

ECM wont be the end of the streak cat. I can guarantee you that right now.

[Codejack]

We'll see; I'm not convinced that ECM will be particularly effective against SRMs; it has always been range-limiting, and BAP should at least partially offset it.

In any case, when the lag is fixed, no one will care.

Just you wait for the Hero Cata A1 that mounts ECM AND 2 lasers as well as 6 missiles!
