I have fond memories of loading up on medium pulse lasers in MW2 and spamming them until the enemy explodes or you shut down. Either of which could happen in the space of a few seconds. These builds are kind of an homage to those old MW2 builds... First, the "pure" medium pulse laser version: Second, a slightly more balanced version including a large pulse laser: Finally, the more practical version: The LPLas + MLas in the arm obviously make sense with their shared cooldown and range. Five medium pulse lasers is probably enough. I suppose...
I like your more balanced version the best of these. However, I am disinclined to try MPLs on a mech that can't break 70.
Yeah, these might be best placed in the "novelty build" basket. I was just looking to mount as many pulse lasers and heat sinks as possible, while wearing my rose-tinted MW2 glasses. Hence, the 8Q. Possibly losing an energy slot for extra speed on the 9M would make for a more realistic option. Otherwise, the Battlemaster-1G has 7 energy hardpoints and should go 70 kph on the stock engine with Speed Tweak. Some cursory planning suggests 1 x LPLas, 6 x MPLas, 21 DHS and full armour with the 340 Std (64.8/71.3 kph) should be viable, as would the same weapons on a 400 XL (76.2/83.9 kph) with 22 DHS and near-max armour...
