Steiner finally has viable scouts, Atlas-DC with ECM!

Steiner scouting is decidedly lethal

I would think they would have put it on the crappy Jenner with 3 module slots instead.

Huzzah! Thank you Dev team!

Either way the Jenner was not supposed to have it to begin with...but I really think that at least 2 ravens should have it.

even with the jenner-k, arguably the weakest of the jenners, giving it essential immunity to ssrm's is still totally worth sacrificing the 1 missile slot of the D. just take bigger lasers.

i'm glad they decided not to give any jenners ecm. when they finally fix the netcode and add collisions back in, then it might be worth reconsidering, but until then, i say keep it away from any jenner variants. having one worthless jenner is better than having 9 worthless light mechs (and severely crippled everything-except-atlasddc)

The RVN-3L similar enough to the JR7-K if you ask me. Swaps an energy hardpoint for a missile. The Jenner is probably superior because of JJs, but only because you can get away with using only one of them at the moment. Once JJs are fully implemented, I'd say they're fairly even. This doesn't really change any of the worthless light mechs, as the weakest Raven and Commando variants are still unchanged. I think we'll see most people change to the ECM-capable Ciccada and Raven, and then we'll have whining about those on the forums.
