I keep thinking about running a Firestarter with my slock Ace Pilot, but late in the game the OpFor has so many actions in the last phase that you're guaranteed to get swamped by LRMs even if you shut down your target and manage to avoid LoS with everything else. Early in the game the OpFor has so many lights that you're not getting back out of there without getting pounced on unless you have master tactician or vigilance. Also it's a one trick pony that you can only use 6 times. One slip up slags the Mech and lands your pilot in the hospital for months or, if it isn't your main, the grave.
