The Lightning is good for what it should do!
Fast, useful electronics and a weaponry that can strike quite hard.
Ok, the armor is somewhat thin but it is a striker and scout and not a stand up fighter! |

Quit whining about the armor, guys. The Lightning is quite thick-skinned compared to the FWL's new Hermes models, mechs that draw the same sort of missions. Scouting, recon, harassment while heavier units handle head-on confrontation.
This machine isn't meant to get shot at and it's got the speed to run for it when necessary. The weapons package is heavy enough to damage other lights and the C3 lets team mates kick serious butt. Lacking CASE looks bad, but with light mechs (and IS XL engines) it's not very important anyway. Downed raiders can't be salvaged unless you're going to stay around, and then it's not a raid anymore.
My only complaint is the lack of hand actuators. I prefer my raider mechs with hands so they can grab the occasional valuable spare part or whatever you need to pick up.
I'll have to dock you a point for the missing hands. |

Thin armour, uncased ammo, XL engine. Expensive and very very vulnerable to the time honoured way of dealign with scouts.
In the open field this scout would excel until someone got lucky and killed it in one shot. In the kind of find the enemy scouting that you frequently have to deal with... its very very poor as it'll die and be an expensive loss.
It doesn't have a heat problem which means it can try and snipe enemy light mechs with its ER Mediums, which is either a good safe idea or really chancy depending on who your fighitng.

This mech has excellent speed but the armour protection is lacking and the uncased ammo worsens the situation. It has a decent weapon load and the electronics package makes it useful as a scout. But the thin armour and uncased ammo make this a vulnerable machine. |
