This game has been all about lasers, missiles and gauss for weeks. It's about time ACs had their 15 minutes of fame.
It's been about missiles and gauss. Lasers are an afterthought for most people simply because they can't fit anything else with the tonnage restraints. Most posts I see anymore are about missiles and ballistic weapons. Lasers have been lost in the wind because they're not efficient weapons. In fact energy weapons in general are crap, and have been since the start. I'm glad the hit box has been fixed and given the AC/2's ROF the damage should have remained where it was. I am happy that ballistics other than the guass are being used now, but to say lasers have been a focused weapon is insane. Most mechs you see boating lasers is because they can't support the weight of other weapons. or don't have the hardpoints.
