Trashtalk on Lancer: Swallowtail 

Swallowtail: [Scans kids] Weakness detected: Processed sugars.

Swallow tail predicts future where kids enjoy the taste of cinnamon swirls in every bite.

Kids, listen: these… SSC-branded, engineered-for-taste cereal are not… good. THEY’RE GRRREAT!!!

Finally, the perfect mech for me!

Barbarossa + Swollowtail Markerlight = "You see that battleship? I don't want to anymore."

Scry and die: mech addition.

With the ability to mount four Oracle LMG-I's and with the GMS Integrated Weapon Core Bonus for a fifth Oracle LMG-I, you can lob a full Gunslinger die's worth of accurate indirect shells upon unshielded enemies every turn. Then turn around and snipe out that armored enemy on either Gunslinger reaction fire, or on the first shot with Gunslinger 1's +1 Accuracy on first Attack Roll. Pair it with Crack Shot for more accuracy and damage (and to keep you rooted for Swallowtail's invisibility).

Three of those Oracle LMGs using the aux/aux mount and the GMS integrated mount and then the gravity gun from Iskander. Gives you a bit of battlefield control, pulling enemies out of cover and immediately marking them for big allied followup damage.

Absolutely.

If one were to fire at them with an Arcing weapons, though, that would make them not benefit from cover, right? Since Scout Drone gives you perfect vision AND Arcing does not require LOS.

SONO CHI NO SADAME

I know it's super late and you probably found out already, but might as well. It's essentially a 'chassis' of your mech, on which the rest of the weapons and the systems are installed. Every frame has its own base stats and 'pool' of System Points (that you spend to install systems and some weapons, though most weapons cost no SP) that are also amplified by your pilot stats and various bonuses; it also has 'mounts', which are basically slots on which you can install weapons, and it has core traits, which is something a frame will have no matter what else you install on it. Now, as you've probably peeped from the video, the Swallowtail frame itself is unlocked on Swallowtail Licence II. Lancer is highly modular, you see: you can mix and match weapons and systems from every mech you have appropriate licences for, as long as you can afford the space and/or System Points. You can take one licence level every time you level up (usually after every properly successful mission), and every mech has three tiers of licence that each takes one licence level to unlock; its 'frame' unlocks on the second licence tier. If you don't have any mech frames unlocked (if you only start the campaign, or all the licences you took are only up to level I), you'll have to fit what systems and weapons you have available on the one you have from the start, the trusty Everest.

@@Levyafan I must commend you for taking the time to give such an in-depth reply to such an old comment, thank you very much!
