Curious to see what ya'll like and how you think. So I would like to see how each of you would make a raider lance. There are no weight limits of BV limits. But the Lance you are making is designed to either, hot drop, come in on a Leopard, or race behind lines to kill or swipe stuff. It has to do all since you do not know when and what you will be called on to accomplish. Make once lance Lvl 1, and the other Lvl 2.
AWAD- And no I am not talking about those bums from Oakland

Well for the Clan I would have a Nova Star of Black Hawks.
Black Hawks have good speed with good weapons and with the elementals can easily destroy things and/or grab things.
Inner Sphere I would pick 4 Wasp LAMs, they are they best in hit and run. If I am right they are level 2.

A raider lance? As in "go there and do some damage to enemy support functions"? As in "we are expendable and fully expect to get destroyed"? First choice would be to send out any Assassin mechs I happen to have, just to get rid of the stupid things. 
But if I don't have Assassins...
level 1 raiders:
2 x Locust LCT-1V
2 x Locust LCT-1E
These guys will cause untold havoc before they're hunted down. The enemy will also have to use a large force in order to corner them. The lack of jump jets isn't as serious as it seems since the few enemies that can catch the Locusts because of jumping can't actually kill them.
level 2 raiders:
4 x Spider SDR-7M
Just because they're very fast and jump-capable, relatively cheap and actually well used for this function. They should be able to kill anything that can corner them.

I lIke the Spider Idea.

My vote would have to go with Nightmare's two choices. Both cheap mechs. With luck they will go in and cause trouble and get back out. If they don't get out, then it does not hurt your budget as much to replace them.

Uggghhhhh Clan Raiders? In a Lance?
OK that is a double Whammy to both you and Ruger. Clanners as raiders? Not thier style, unless have really changed. Plus their organization is a Star not Lance.
AWAD- No Clanner raiders that do not have honor rules would be brutal.

Love the Locusts, you are a man after my heart. Fast and cheap..... but can not pick anything up. Also that terrain issue may be bigger than you think. As behind the lines havoc maker, fine. So even I, the man who says REAL MEN drive Locusts, has to disparage there use in this format.
AWAD- Still have yet to put my ideas up yet.
