Yeah clans are like a year away, but I kinda can't help but think how awesome a clan UAC/10 is gonna be on my hunchie or cent.

So I'm just kinda wondering what clan weapons would everyone else run on their IS mechs?

[hammerreborn]

All of them?

Why would you use anything else?

[Deathlike]

Sharks with lasers on their freaking heads...

Oh, I mean Clan ER Large Lasers on the heads of those mechs (Hunchy, Awesome) and Clan ER PPC in the Spider's CT.

I kinda mean what one sparks your interest the most.

[Davers]

Hunchback 4P with 9 Clan ER Medium lasers please.
Oh, and UAC/20 on my Hunchback 4G.

And Clan LRMs on anything with LRMs.

Pretty much everything I can upgrade I would.

The Clan UAC/20.
I have seen it in my dreams... My savior, cutting through the clouds above to deliver me from the tribulations of a sniper-heavy metagame.

Actually, while there are certainly far more potent alternatives, the thing i keep wishing for again and again while idling in the mechlab is a simple ER ML. The only way to get med to long range capability right now is with heavy weapons (or LRM, but, well, with the state they're in now... *shrugs*).

[Inappropriate1191]

Atlases. I'll be upgrading everything.

Clan XL engines and DHS are most essential to this plan, without them, well... I may stick with IS energy weapons, but ballistics and missiles? No reason to use IS versions.

Atlas D would have 4 large lasers, 2 ultra AC 5, and clan missiles to fill out what's left.
Atlas DDC would find its lasers upgraded to Clan PPC (The great equalizers. Even light mechs can carry assault-ripping power with those), UAC 20, possibly backed by UAC or AC/2, with full LRM kit.
Atlas RS would be the monster. 4 clan PPC, UAC/10, clan streak 6s. Who cares if it overheats every five seconds?

Hear me. Obey me. Fear me.
All die before me.

[Theodor Kling]

Mostly missiles, although clan energy weapons are also real nice to have. What I realy long for is a ATMs, or failing that a MML. But those are far,far away in the timeline
Same goesfor SLRM

[The Mech behind you]

Clan Pulse Lasers ..oh and Clan DHS

[Kiiyor]

ER MLAS. Sweet, ridiculously unbalanced lazor awesomeness.

Clan UAC5. 10. 20!

But most of all, ERPPCs. Imagine a Stalker with 6 gauss rifles, no ammo required.

Did anyone else just clench?

At the idea of yet another PPC boat being a free kill, nope. Thats a 90 heat alpha. You didn't think they would allow Clans to have an 11 heat 15 damage weapon did you?

The only weapon I'd use from Clans (other then obviously tonnage efficient weapons like the Gauss, LRMs, and Missiles) would be the Large Pulse Laser. 600m range for 10 damage 10 heat.

[MustrumRidcully]

Clan Gauss Rifle, Ultra AC/20, I can easily see using. Those weapons will likely not be screwed over majorly by the heat system. And I can finally pack 2 Gauss Rifles on my Atlas!

ER Medium Lasers will probably be better than IS Large Lasers.

[Adridos]

Only a total ***** would ever use the IS junk again...

[l33tworks]

You guys are dreaming if you think clan weapons will work they way they have in the past. Do you really think they will let you Clan LRM 100 someone in the face with full guaranteed to hit lock ? (5xLRM 20 stalker 5M),

[Karl Streiger]

True Lyrans go with the LB 20X....oh ups.... i've changed sides...i mean i will go with the ER-PPC

[ReissTC]

Other than 'any' (I'm a fan of the idea that Clan weapons take module slots to use + hardpoints, whose was that again?), I'd specifically like to have Clan ER Medium Lasers. Just something to complement the current LL nicely.

CLRM15 (assuming they have LRMs even close to halfway being viable)
CSSRM6
CERPPC (Really, 15 damage for 6 tons? How can you say no?!)
CLBX20
CUAC20
CGauss Rifle (same thing IS has, but 3 tons lighter!)

cER-PPCs no min, 6 tons, 2 crits 15 damage. Put that in your Stalker and smoke it.
