I think a lot of people here were waiting for this one...

Of course, it's for MWO and not Battletech, but in succes.
I made this signature banner way back in 2012 for the MWO forums:

Good to see it finally made it into the game (if nothing else because it means it may make it into this game as well).

Kinda like Pandora's Box, I never thought to see PGI bring us another 20-ton BattleMech... now my hopes for the Wasp and Stinger are rekindled!

I won't be pre-ordering for MWO*, but I'm really happy to see the Flea. We can't touch the Stinger/Wasp, but this is another 20-tonner we can use. Also it shows PGI hasn't forgotten about <3050 'mechs.

(* I really dislike the 'mechpack system. The base pack gives nothing I couldn't get for free a few months later, and I need to buy the base pack to get the hero. I'm happy to buy the hero when it's available individually.)

Oooh. So adorable!

Mr. Iglesias has found an awesome balance modernising and cherishing that goofy box on legs.

Can't wait to play the 8x LMG build and killsteal all those opened cans :p

Mmm. A slower, flimsier locust. Such a dream.

The extra medium laser is nice, but extra point blank weapons on a slower chassis don't appeal.

That's not an unreasonable take at first glance Exemplar, and fairly spot on in the context of this game. However, anything that can fill out the low end of the weight bracket for this game should be welcomed with open arms, imo.

The thing is, with engine locking it is extremely important to have different engine ratings in each weight. The ability to add jump jets at will coupled with the Flea's hardpoints means that we would be able to re-create both the Stinger and Wasp in performance (even if we didn't have unique graphics for them).

The Flea is a great fit for this game. With there being no wasp, stinger, any 20 tonner helps. Shame it was released too late for this Dev cycle .


There's always post release!

Good luck on your campaign. If you are successful, it could be included when the Raven is brought into the game.
