I am happy with this weapon!

[jozkhan]

you havent been legged and taken out from beyond your own range yet then?

[KKillian]

Not as many times as I've torn open a back with em!

Ya, I think SPLs are actually pretty great. They could probably use a heat-buff but if I have to mix SLs with some other laser it's much better to use SPLs than MLs.

Take a look at smurfy for stats. For 100% more weight and 50% more heat per shot, you have a weapon with identical cooldown and range and which has a duration that's only 33.33% percent shorter. This means that under ideal circumstances you have a DPS that's only 9% more than the small laser. That's not worthwhile.

Less damage, less range, more heat, same weight..... Joke thread or am I missing something?

edit - compared to ML

I supposed I did kind of ignore than, its hard to really quantify the advantage it can give.

I forgot to mention I can steaily chain fire them nonstop for quite a while on cold maps =) I really do enjoy this weapon.

Just as one screenshot of the end of game scoreboard doesn't prove anything, having one person complain about something does not mean that it is powerful. In my time in game and on the forums I've heard complaints about every weapons system being OP. That doesn't mean they're all balanced.

You can do that with small lasers as well, just better. They have exactly the same cycle time and small lasers have equal damage and less heat per shot. The one advantage SPLs have over SLs is a shorter burn time, and that difference is quite modest.

I kinda feel like SPL are the most pointless weapon in the game but I guess if you manage to have success with it more power to you.

Meh. I think, at the very least, machine guns are substantially less worth while. I also think LBX's are a worse usage of tonnage. However, I definitely think all three systems need help. I think the OP has the same opinion as me. Small lasers may not be the best, but they have their value.

Is a build that literally cannot exist.

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

I have been considering a SPL Jenner build for a while.

I had pretty much decided against it, until I was spectating KKillian last night and hear the cool sound it makes.

Also, since I average just a bit more than 3 points of damage per hit with Medium Lasers, they might be worth a shot, if I can hold fire until within effective range (that alone might be worth the extra heat).

I think the F in name is for Founders... so it's the Jenner-D that should be mentioned.

4xSPL + 2xSRM-6+Art is still an impossible build for any Jenner.

After you install an engine. there are only 2 available slots in the Center Torso (where the missile hardpoints are for the JR7-D) ... SRM-2, SRM-4, SSRM-2, and LRM 5 each take up one slot (add Artemis, and they take 2) ... SRM-6 and LRM 10 each take up two slots.

[Deathlike]

My entire point was that guy wasn't correct or entirely clear. When you see an (F), it implies Founders... and the Founder's Jenner is a Jenner-D.

Please reread my implied statement.
