===Skirmisher === Skirmishers are considered to be 'Mechs suitably adapted to a fluid combat environment. They tend to have versatile builds with a reasonable balance of speed, range, firepower, and often to a lesser extent: durability. While often seen harassing the enemy or escorting lighter mechs, they are usually capable of directly engaging well enough to inflict appreciable damage. This allows them to engage almost whenever and wherever there is a need or opportunity. Their flexibility allows a battlefield commander considerable leeway when compensating for both tactical situations and local topography. While their flexibility can allow new players to contribute without being locked into a role, the lack of a clear and specific role can make it difficult to master, since the pilot must be just as flexible as the mech they're piloting.
