I am guessing it would be a monster PPC + Gauss machine. The ON1-K model would have devastated with an alpha of four PPCs. Loaded with heatsinks, I can still get a heat efficiency of 1.3 with the PPCs of today. Back then, that would probably be around 1.4 to 1.5. The others can easily make do with PPC + Gauss, with up to three PPCs in alpha. I can easily see how this would work with other energy weapons, large lasers, ERs, large pulses back in the days of the old alpha. For now I am testing configs based around 4 LLAS, including ERs or Large Pulses, and setting them in groups of two.

What would be the difference to what the Stalker did all that time?

The low slung energy hardpoints in its arms would have made it one of the more balanced ppc boats, as it would have been required to expose itself to return fire

I used to (shamelessly) put 6 PPC's on my stalker.

Oh the fun.
