Now that the weapons no longer have the one turn cool-down of battletech, I think it would be cool to see some varied weapons that change the cool-downs.

For example

An AC/5 has a standard cool-down of 1.5 seconds. but maybe the techs can remove/replace some of the loading mechanisms to save weight but the weapon wouldn't shoot as far and/or takes longer to recycle.

Heavy Lasers don't enter the timeline until later but something like it is very doable.

The best part of this is the DEVs at PGI don't even have to create any models or textures or sounds or anything. all this can be done with some simple coding and testing. Also, I think this would open the door to some new unique load-outs.

Why invent new weapons when there's still guns in the BT lore that are yet to be implemented?

[DarkDevilDancer]

MRM's, HAG40's, heavy lasers etc plenty of weapons they can add after clans are in.

And I'm still waiting for a re-balance of pulse lasers.

I find when I install them the PUGs follow me.

I think they should add a bunch of redundant weapons even if they are less effective as the standard one's out right now. Just to give us stuff to play with. Like differ sounds and looks.

I want an Ac/20 with the Rof of a machine gun, just saying...

In fact it's something viable within lore. Just imagine the 1st impression.


See jager firing a MG like bullets.... - hmm troll build
Notice it's 2x Ac/20 high rof effect....- Oh ****!!

Even sadder when they're the only one.

I just want the arrow Iv in, can have a 4th cat using it for some serious indirect fire!

And people thought LRM indirect fire was bad... wait till the arrows come out

This. Variation among manufacturer models would also create a better market and more immersion in BT. If this is your graphic, Carrioncrows, then nice job man.

[Voivode]

I like the suggestion of using multiple manufacturers for slight variations allowing a wider array of builds. Seems like a good thing to do as long as they don't make one manufacturer way better than the others (don't care if that's lore, it makes a bad game) so they each have their ups and downs.
