Linny had no levels in flamethrower, which meant that this was never going to work well. I guess it was fine for what it was, and, to be honest, no one uses Linny on a normal playthrough anyway.

The good doctor's second attempt. The idea here was to use Double Assault to bring Linny's damage output up to acceptable levels. It didn't work.

MVP of Mission 56

Here was a slightly better effort that involved using Linny's missile levels to form a quasi-effective inside/outside game. Still, it was Linny, so its MVP was more like a fluke than anything meaningful.

So, Successful Student dumped a bunch of super-parts into Linny's last wanzer and hoped for the best. Here's a test, I've now posted something like 100 designs, so let's see if you could guess what happened:

A. It succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

B. It did okay.

C. How is this LP not over?

D. It went terribly, terribly wrong.

E. No, seriously, when is this fucking LP going to end?
