Just increase their speed and raise ghost heat limit to 3 (or better yet remove ghost heat for everything and put a real system in place).
If you lowered heat to 8.5, raised speed and raised limit to 3 I could do very bad things with them...
Oh, and swearing profusely helps your argument.

Whether PPC suck unquirked or not... Systematically I will take PPD over DOT any day regardless of the DPS.
In particular with lighter mechs and paper tigers like the RFL, snap shots and recover is a necessity for survival.

PPCs are eventually going to get cool enough to where they're more viable. Russ already went on the record on the town hall, before the patch where they put in the 9.5/14 heat changes, that this was an incremental change designed to test the impact before going further. So, I think that we can bet on/hope for further changes in the future. I'm just more worried about them boosting the velocity and lowering the quirks to the point where there isn't any benefit to being a designed PPC mech. At that point, we're back to where we were back in the day. As it stands, this game is worse off because of the lack of a heat deterrent and the ability to boat whatever we choose. I don't want to go back to the days of 4x or 6x PPC carriers. Large Laser boats are bad enough; PPC boats are infinitely worse. This is why I'm more in favor of additional heat changes instead of messing with the speed. The truth is, if you can't hit targets consistently at 1200 m/s, the problem isn't the weapon.

strongest quirks for ppcs with 1800m/s velocity (nearly the same as gauss) and 7 heat ppcs. Wait, I'm searching the right picture for you...
Proving me right and thinking a facepalm is in order,...
Wait let me look for a picture for you,...

The PPC, the only weapon system in the game that you have to conform your entire build to just to run them.
2 LPL's run just as cool as 1 ERPPC, but yet I need 2 less DHS just to run 2 LPL's.
