Comment:
Solid scout, but it suffers the same problem as many other lights. It can't take two med laser or one PPC hit to leg. That is a major problem for machine that should be able to return with info (and I still forget about minefields). MASC has it's uses and BAP is also handy so this 'Mech is clearly a good scout, but it's vulnerable to ambushes more than I would like. Not bad, but it could be better. The BAP needs to get close and I would like the 'Mech to survive it.

A fine recon mech mod out of the -99.
Now it has the excellent sensors to do its job.
The weaponry is enough to have something to shoot if the enemy comes to close but too little to attack.
So scout pilots will collect datas and retreat if being attacked instead of trying to gun them down!

Trading the Small Laser for another half ton of armour is the only suggestion I'd have for this mech.
Its a good solid scout. Just make sure you are always moving fast and making sure you report in often to your commanding officer.
I kind of like it when I see scout mechs that lack a decent weapons suite, because then my scout pilots know they're suppost to do and don't get in mech fights.

Comment:
An all around decent scout. Used properly this unit will find and designate the enemy, then use its speed to withdraw, or stay out of long range and shadow. Armor is only a little shy of max, and few canon mechs have max armor. The weapons should be ER, but are not to keep cost of the unit down, same with the XL engine and Endo ideas in other reviews, they would make this unit very expensive. As it is, this is a cheap reliable scout.

Comment:
A fair scout, but I wish it had a little more armor on it. The BAP will let you find hidden units, alright, but theres a good chance that its going to be too much for the MCY to handle. Even the Masc may not get this thing out of harms way fast enough. The weapons load is too light to take on anything heavier than about 30 or 35 tons. Pretty much, this thing will find the badguys, and then get cut to pieces. Not the best way to use a scout.
