Hey peps
I was trying a loadout at smurfy and it came back to me an idea that i've had for a long long time. Now with the new heat scale it just made it more obvious to me, so i decided to go ahead and make a post about it.

I was looking at the Highlanders (732) and i was going to equip 3 Large lasers, but with the new heat scale that would be bad. So i thought Large pulse, but it just takes more tonnage and has a different recycle and range. So, it would be great if i could chainfire in a way that i would fire 2 Large lasers and 0.5s later the third, but all in one button.
Basically the idea is to assign to different groups the same button and chainfire per group, instead of per button. Now, i'm not gonna say i disagree about the arbitrary number of large lasers here, but that might also help other builds/chassis (eg VTR-9K).

wouldn't that be super cool ?

Group1: LL#1
Group2: LL#2
Group3: LPL
Group4: LL#1, LL#2, LPL

Enable chain fire for group 4.

Was that really so hard?

I thought i made myself clear... let me explain it to you: group 1: LL 1 and 2; group 2: LL 3. Press the button once and hold; First, fire group 1 and 0.5s fire group 2. Now, is it really so hard to understand the difference ?
I don't want to use an extra button. I don't want to use a different weapon. I wanna avoid heat penalty.

I like the idea, but I would like it to be an item that can be destroyed. Weapon Link (like Case) - .5 tons, one crit space,, and is placed in relation to the weapons to group them. This provides a down and up side to this feature.
