we have 3 Assault mechs, and only the Atlas has ballistic slots, and 2 of them can only have 2 slots. I hope next assault will have ballistic weapons. Highlander?

Hopefully they include the 733C variant with the Ballistic in the arm;)

Well, the Jagermech is supposedly coming next patch (not today, the next one). That thing is supposed to be the mother of all ballistics mechs but it's a heavy, not an assault.

You can bank on the Highlander having variants with 1 and 2 ballistics slots, though I'm less confident we'll see a variant with 3 or 4 of them, but hopefully the devs understand what's going to drive the desire for this chassis in this game will be 3 or 4 ballisitc slots. A 3 gauss jump sniper would be something folks are going to want, as will be a dakka dakka mech that demonstrates a whole lot more staying power than the Cataphract.

Highlander should be the next assualt due to no other assualts being announced yet.

there can be only ...two...?

It would be interesting seeing how an assault that can mount 2xAC20 or 2xGauss would change things up. I know I'd get one We're also pretty much guaranteed poptart highlanders, and a ?xGauss ?xPPC monstrosity would definitely be a solid inducement to keep your head down.

It seems to me, though, that they seem to be leaning towards putting the better weapon hardpoints on the mechs that have to make sacrifices to use them, (KC20's 50 kph speed, Stalker's heat issues, etc.) which IMO is a solid choice.

Yes please.
Make the 733C come true.
Or even better a Hero Highlander based on it which keeps the AC/20 in its arm.
