PGI really? SIX TONS for one AC/2.. seriously? You added the heat penalty which is good I like that.. but this is freaking ridiculous! Six tons and they only do TWO damage, sure you could chain fire them but that's why you added the heat penalty.. right? What is the reasoning for this? I run solely Hunchbacks but now I can't even add 1 AC/2 they aren't even viable for mediums anymore! Without sacrificing a ton of armor or almost all of your weapons. Please discuss this, because this is just absurd and ********.

I, um. I hate to burst your bubble, but an AC2 has always been 6 tons. Even in tabletop. PGI never ever at all changes the weight of items in this game, they refuse to do it. Also, given that it does better damage/second than an AC5, I'm not quite sure why you're so upset?

Thank you for you constructive and articulate input.

And no, ghost heat wasn't implemented to prevent chain firing. It was implemented to prevent alpha strikes form boating. Maybe you should read up on the feature and mechanic?

You sacrifice tonnage and slots to take ballistics instead of beam alternatives. You also have the maximum range in teh game with that weapon which means you cna literally sit out at max range and can't be shot. Working as intended.

I was saving the "They've always been 6 tons form day 1" reply until he rage replied guys!!! Dammnit! You totally stole my forum fun for the day

Wait what?!?!?!? They're nerfin MLs to one ton??????????? They'll be completely useless! I demand that PGI look into this and adjust MLs to their previous one ton weight! This is an outrage! They are going to nerf MLs to one from the previous one ton!!!! Good job PGI, way to ruin the game

Didn't they also say LOL WORKING AS INTENDED and use some absurd reasoning to say that chain firing ac/2s = they must be trolling, because "fun" is a strange and alien concept to them, like "love" to a 1950s Sci-Fi movie Extraterrestrial?

Yes, AC2's are six tons now; just as they were before, and just as they will be.

Word on the street has it that they may reduce medium lasers to only one crit too.

OMG, this is the funniest **** I have seen all day! Bahahaha! I'm half convinced the OP was trolling, but even if he was this was bloody HILARIOUS. Oh no guys! I heard PGI is going to nerf the Atlas down to 100 tons! Time to uninstall the game .
