I want one...two, three or maybe four because Rough Ryder make tiny, small, medium (standard) and large Stockman models...and then there are the funky Sowbelly too. they're cheap, but are they functional and trustworthy? you can get two or three for the price of one from Buck. or do you prefer Case models or ones from more niche / Gucci brands?
do you favour any over the other or a certain combination? or how about on specific mech with a specific load out? do you add any other tech that will help make it harder to detect and hit you, like ECM?
edit - so ECM is popular, but so far no mention of Stealth Armor, Null Signature Systems, VOID Signature Systems or Chameleon Light Polarization Shields.
also, looking at Clan ECM and AP's vs. the Beagle and Guardian used by the IS, is the only difference weight as at a glance in the game the specs appear identical?
my wife is petite...5'5" and about 120lbs. she's in her 50's and has balance issues due to MS, so a trike is needed. she's also got psoriatic arthritis, so weight is a concern, so being easy to roll around would be good too. it will be used for shopping and errands, so being able to tow a small trailer or carry a load around 100lbs in a rear basket is needed too.
I know prices can be super lower and insanely high, but I'm hoping there will be solid options to consider for around $3000.
if there is anything with two front wheels instead of rear, I would love to hear about them; though I don't expect them to be in my budget, but still, I would like to look at them! one that is not a recumbent or a Veemo. :)
