For real?

[Carrioncrows]

But why?

The flamer in itself is a fearsome and demoralizing weapon to anyone that has one equipped.

Great news - never understood why a mech weapon had to be fixed - especially a flamer...

I'll get to replace it with an ER Small Laser I guess... (gotta use that 0.5 tons somehow).

It's true, he hasn't confirmed we'll be able to USE the hardpoint...just that we'll gain a half ton (Ammo builds would be happy, less so laser builds)

[Burktross]

A step in the right direction, but I feel the Puma needs a tidge more quirk love.

new Meta will be 1ER-LL, 4SRM6(25 Shots each),
and with some striped leg armor TC1,

[Sigilum Sanctum]

5 ER Medium lasers here we come. Maybe now ill actually have to be wary of these little b*stards.

[Nothing Whatsoever]

Too bad the Flamers are not getting improved or better yet fixed, in the process.



Give them a cooldown, a short beam (burn) duration, set to 1 DPS, 1.5 HPS, keep it's 90 M range, and then tweak it's added heat to target to the beam duration.

Should make them useful and removes their exponential heat to the mech firing the flamer.

[Lootee]

Are you sure? With 1 more energy hard point available they might have to give it +30% energy weapon duration quirks.

[Damocles]

quiet acknowledgment of the failure to fix or make Flamers viable?

Heck with that. C-MPL over quad SRM launchers, and/or Head Tag for LRM support when I'm feeling trollish. Now all it needs is more twist arc so it can use that anemic 107kph in more directions and it may actually kick up out of T5.

Woot, extra heatsink!
