Focus on numbers

In Li Song Mechlab you can configure your BattleMech and get all the important statistics before you buy your equipment. Don’t leave anything to chance – Be prepared.

Li Song Mechlab (LSML) is an EFT inspired 'Mech loadout creation and analysis tool for PGI's Mechwarrior: Online game.

The core design goal of LSML is to give you the numbers you need to make the best loadouts for MWO, and doing it effortlessly. We live by #nobullshitjustrawdata.

LSML differs from other similar tools such as Smurfy by the amount and accuracy of information it gives you.

LSML is an offline application which means that you will always have access to it even when you don't have Internet access. It will automatically read game data from your MWO install (if you have one) to give you up-to-date information from the latest patch.

Takes into account
