Hi,

is it possible to put weapons into specific hardpoints? For example my hunchback should have the two top energy hardpoints in the hunch with ERLL and the smaller lasers put into the 4 slots beneat.
If PGI could implement a system where we could choose the placement exactly this would be fine.

There's no direct way to control it, but you can sometimes juke the system by changing the order in which you put weapons on the component.

I don't own a 4P so I can't tell you in which order the hunch gets filled, but if it went from bottom to top, you could try installing the smalls first and then the larges. Unfortunately they all look the same, so you'd need to hit the testing ground to check whether the larges ended up in the right places.

Also bothered me from day 1.

You can trick it by packing 4 small lasers in sequence, 1LL/sl/sl/sl/sl/1LL or something like that. but sure would be easier if you didn't have to spend 2 tons just to get the right hardpoint.

Maybe PGI has problems with some mechs like banshee. They don't want us to put for example a very strong erppc into the highest hardpoints because of balancing.
Therefor they could limit some hardpoints to weapons from a specific size.
For example:
0-1 slot weapons are size 1
2-3 slot weapons are size 2
...

So they could balance some mechs to not get op. U already can't put big guns in the head mounted hardpoints.

Just noticed this on the EBJ-A. Had to slot (and keep) a small laser in first (which set it to the lower torso mount) in order for both PPCs to use the high mounts.

WTB choice!

Yup, had to do the exact same thing
