Like I see http://www.sarna.net.../ER_Small_Laser http://www.sarna.net...ER_Medium_Laser and http://www.sarna.net/wiki/ER_Flamer if this was going by lore in the first place we wouldn't have ER Large Laser yet. So I am asking why not have these ones?

I'm sure they will eventually but I'd MUCH rather see UI2.0 and CW done long before we get this kinda stuff.

The ER Large Laser has a re-introduction date of 3037, current year in game is 3050. Try again.

I was trying to figure out why he thought they shouldn't be in yet. ER Mediums and smalls for IS are 3058, ER Large was 3037: http://www.sarna.net.../Er_large_laser

I guess I misread but then there is the issue that apparently the clans already exist. I made a major oops I understand but I will still like to see ER weapons in the future.

Huh? Not following you here? What do the clans have to do with anything?

Maybe cause the clans already have ER variants of their lasers? I don't know for definite but I thought they did at the time of the invasion.

I was going to lock the topic then someone found my point that could be an issue of balance if clans can only have that type of laser during the invasion.

Well I think the whole point of the Clan invasion was that their Mech's were better, cooler, faster, stronger and had longer range weapons than anything in the Inner Sphere. That's why the opening weeks and months of the invasion went so well for them. If PGI still have any desire to keep to lore when the clans drop then I think those facts need to stay relatively untouched (which is why balance is going to be such a nightmare).

That and they hit from the periphery, so the troops they hit were poorly equipped, poorly trained, green, and/or long past their prime. These were troops used to fending off even worse equipped bands of pirates/bandits, not top off the line Clan Omnimechs.
