for us sadistic lovers of the most dangerous mech on the battlefield.
Something with an ECM slot and like an old school police light on the top.
joking about the light.

But why stop there? I say its hardpoints should be 8 ballistics.

Missile with 1 tube for a NARC, 1 Energy for a TAG and 4-6 MGs.

8 Mgs would be quite pleasant. 6 MGs is what I had hoped for from the Phoenix Locust to give it something over the superior Spider which is better in every feasible way.

The best we'd get will probably be a Franken'mech with:
CT MdLaser/TAG
RA: 2 MG
LA: LRM5/Streak2
1V base with a 1S arm.

I vote for 3 ballistic slots per arm, and 1 energy slot in the CT. You know, like the picture of the Locust that clearly has 3 weapons on each arm, not one?
Of course I asked for the same thing with the Blackjack hero. I wanted it to have 2 energy and a ballistic in each arm as well, again to have a mech that actually matches the old Duane Loose drawing of the mech as it was originally.

I was thinking 2 energy + 3 AMS could be pretty funny. The Locust is probably the only 'mech that could mount that much AMS and not be completely broken.
A MG boat sounds almost as fun though, not to mention more realistic.

I've made posts about it before.
I actually love the light idea.
The LCT-33⅓ boasting an AC2 or 5.
Maybe a NARC slot.
Probably the usual 1E in the torso.
So 1-2B, 1-2E, 1-2M? (Maybe 1-2B, 1E, 1M, ECM, AMS)
Decked out in Police Squad colours, with a police light on top that activates when going over 90% of your top speed.

I can see 3 ballistic slots per "wing" and 2 energy in the CT. No ECM though, I'd rather see that added to a CB variant instead. Keep the max engine rating because speed is the only thing the little guy has....

There's a Clan Light coming that may have 3+AMS

nail on the head with that naked gun photo...
maybe 1 E on the arms, 1 E in the center, ECM, narc, something to make a light support or scout/fire control. ECM with BAP. I could have fun with 2 SPL, those other things and a TAG.
I just keep thinking behind enemy lines LRM targeting support..

If it's Naked-Gun-y, it needs at least 1 Ballistics slot.
