Having tried a dozen or so matches in the PTS, I like the majority of the changes, however I would specifically like to bring attention to the laser locking mechanic. It's a cool mechanic, and an enjoyable one too (more tactical and a bit more of a learning curve) but I think it's counterintuitive to what I perceive to goal to be, which is increasing TTK.

Why? because with the ECM targeting changes, it's leading me to shy away from laser weapons altogether. Shying away from laser weapons means choosing weapons without range restrictions: PPCs mainly, but my other choices for range are front-loaded pinpoint too (gauss, AC), Maybe the devs want to shy the game away from the range meta and towards brawling, but I don't think nerfing lasers in this way is the best way to achieve this.
