COM-MWO; 25t, 7/11 SFE, 5.5t/88 armor, 10 SHS, 2x ML (LA, RA), SRM4 w/1t ammo (CT), 678 BV.

Bump the speed, increase the laser punch, keep the crit seeking of the SRM, and have 25 reloads. COM on.

Except this isn;t TT so you need energy points in both arms which you definitely don't have on the base model.

COM-1B - During the Succession Wars, Lyran engineers revisited the 1A and upgraded it to create the 1B. The 1B wielded a Large Laser and an SRM-2 in addition to the Medium Laser. To make space for these changes, the engineers had to remove the SRM-6 launcher. BV (2.0) = 616[5]

That version might be able to but not sure if the 2 energy points are in the arms.

Based on what we've seen so far (official stuff), it looks like the number of hardpoints is often at least 1 more than the weapons already in that location. If they keep to that, the two MLs could go in the one arm.

My guess is that the hardpoints won't be strictly what is in the base loadout. I.e. a little versatility. And if so, I suppose you could put both the lasers in one arm. Depends on how the hardpoint system really works.

Yeah, for example, the CAT. Will it just have missle hardpoints in the arms? Or will it have "limited" other hardpoints? I.e. have the critspace for LRM15/LRM20's, but have the energy/ballistic hardpoint capacity for a medium laser or two, or a MG or two.. Obviously you won't swap out the LRM's for an AC/10 or AC/20. But limited (say 1-2 crits worth of Ballistic/Energy/whatever) hardpoint space? Who knows.
