================================================================================================
Overview:
The Green Locust is a Mech designed to be a multi-function Mech. Trainer, Raider, and
Sentry. Though expensive, the Mech has proven itself a valuable asset.
Capabilities:
The Green Locust enjoys both Pulse Lasers, and a Targeting Computer, enabling this Mech to
hit more often, and hit where it's pilot wants.
Deployment:
Only two of these Mechs are currently being fielded, one is on Luthien (in storage), and the
other is having its advanced field Trials on Solaris VII, where controlled combat conditions
can be implemented.

Well, both of these were lost in a very quick battle vs GBs. My unit won, but lost too many mechs. These things were great till they started getting hit... then (*Flushing sound*).

Comment:
Pulses with a targeting computer combined with very high speed allow it to close at will for backshots or just for harrassment.
But, it has to get very close to do it's work- half of it's firepower has a max range of 3! Odd, since it has the heat sinks for 2 ER mediums- more damage than the SPL's and better accuracy at all but point-blank range. It also lacks hands for physical attacks (you don't want to miss a kick and fall down in this!) or for carrying loot during raids. And, like all 20-tonners, it can't absorb any real damage. Any large weapon will shred this on the first hit, and the Green Locust _has_ to come into short range to us it's hyper-accurate arsenal.

This Mech isn't multipurpose! No electronics for scouting (and too expensive to loose one (scouting and training can be dangerous)), short-ranged weapons and XL engine make it vulnerable. This in conjunction with lack of any clear purpose (that doesn't make it multi-role) makes it below average.

Fast... yes. Good hit ratio... yes. Survivability? nope. Fluff making sense? nope.
I love fast mechs, but this one just costs too much for the likely hood of it getting pasted if it ever sees combat. It is also WAY too expensive for a trainer.

Nahh, one, the fluff is far too streteched and second, the mech probably won't even be able to hold its own against training bots.
BUT, for a light mech, a TC tied to pulse lasers and high speed DO allow some degree of harrassment to slow enemies (which would be the only use for this design).
