Playing devils advocate here, but if 'max alpha' is going to be 30 points.. why would i ever use anything except PPFLD (3xPPC, 2xPPC+2xAC5, etc)? I can bring 30 point PPFLD alphas all day long, and the only reason id use lasers currently is to get much higher than that... (because burntimes are a big disadvantage)


Yep.

That or you bring 3-4 UAC5s or 4-5 AC5s when DPS is desired over peakaboo.

You could also bring a Banshee 3M or a Stalker with 6 PPCS and fire 3-3. Exposure time ends up being about an LPLs worth.

Sacrilege. Banshee-3Ms are laser mechs, PPCs force themselves to the low belly mounts, ruining whats good about the mech.

Aye, that's true I forgot about that.

well in some cases, Pinpoint may be better but you will have to wait 4seconds to do that,
some High Alpha builds may not Change too Much, just how their used, for Example,

assuming Cap of 35,
EBJ 6SPL 2LPL Filled with DHS, Alpha = 62(Power Draw makes this a Last Ditch Effort)
but Firing them as 2 Weapon Groups at 1/2sec Intervals, Increases TTK if nothing more than 1/2 a Second,
6SPL(36) not a problem as 1Point over isnt too much, and 2LPL(26) under and still useful,
so this Build may not Change other than waiting 1/2a second to fire your LPLs,

PP and Twisting may be good, but DPS builds will Devour up close,
so it will be Sniping with 30-35 PP, and Brawling with DPS,

also 35 still allows room for Lights to be used As Scrapers Hit and Run,
