has anyone seen details on the Jenner's available hardpoints from any of the videos or screenshots?

nothing has been released on the jenner. Just hunchback and like 1 pic of a catapult I think. But it obviously has laser hardpoints in the arms/side torso things

nope but just by logic it should have energy hard points in the arms and missile hard point in the Center Torso

It's not like you need anything other than an energy hardpoint on the arm to make a "panther".

I don't see it as much of a challenge.

Now getting a commando modded up to be a viable threat with a ppc on it's arm, that's a challenge.

The PNT-9R Panther was, and likely will always be, my favorite light 'mech.

The first time I ever played Battletech, I was set into a Panther and told to scout up along the west side of a mountain ridge, through thick forest with trees taller than my mech.

I got a purely electronic ping on an enemy mech, with a weapons lock... so I fired my PPC at it... then waited for return fire - which never came.

I edged closer... still nothing. Just the same electronic reading on the enemy mech with active reactor, powered on.

I kept edging closer, and finally got visual on a Crusader... in pristine condition - except for the head. I'd hit the head with my PPC shot, getting that 1 point of damage through to internals, and critted the cockpit out.

Yeah, for sure it will have atleast 2x Beam in each arm and 1x Missile in CT but in the hunchback it has more hardpoints than weapons. If that is the case with the Jenner you could have say 1x PPC and 5x Small Lasers. Or even ditch the SRM-4 and have 6x Med Lasers. Just hoping for specifics so I can plan out my builds before release.
