Not quite. Why is a laser the same as a PPC for instance?

Only as a base concept. Every detail that MIGHT have made that system work has been greatly altered in PGI's system.
Also I chuckle at the idea that brawling is now circle-strafing while chain firing single MLs.

Now? That's more or less what it's been for every online MW play. Remember MW3 and 4?

Haven't tried it yet, but I bet it's not exactly like HB set out, because only Russ knows how to program this game.

I'm not talking about exact implementation, just how it generally works ('Mechs have an energy pool and weapons which have specific energy draw values draw energy from this pool).

This sounds good.

That Orion was the first enemy mech I encountered, and I saw them for maybe 2 and a half seconds. My Warhammer has the heaviest armour possible. One glance, boom. One and a half tons of armour blown clean through. I was only lucky it didn't have a lancemate next door to slice my side torso off.
Comparative skill and loadouts aside, that's not BattleTech. That's a twitch shooter with no regenerating health. Anything which increases TTK and makes running battles, brawling, and tanky, heavy, mech-like combat possible I'm all for trying right now, because watching AC Kodiak's rip opponents to shreds in seconds, or Ebon Jag's peek out from behind cover to laser vomit for huge damage before taking cover again, is starting to get old. Just hope this new mechanic works better than Ghost Heat.
Although I can't help but think how mech less faffing about just having cones of fire would have been by now. So many mechanics to try and manage the effects of being able to place shots with pixel precision.

A 30 point heat scale system is what alot of people been asking for but instead we're getting a energy pool of 30 points to work with then heat spikes higher past 30 points and the energy pool regens at a pace of 20 point per second, I think that's what the update said.
If it increases TTK then I'm all ears, snails and puppy dog tails.

I'm sensing a lot of exaggeration in this post. What was the Onions loadout?

The problem with a set heat scale is that it completely and totally restricts the player and that isn't something that PGI wants to do. This is why we never had hard point sizes or stock engine limits. It is the sole reason why every mech is either an omni mech or a pseudo omni mech. Therefore, putting in a hard cap on heat would mean that players would constantly shut down which would, in turn, cause the player base to rage, and thus drop player population numbers. Can't have a game without players.

Well, we don't have stock engine limits but engine limits are based on stock engine sizes so it still sort of applies. A slow mech in TT is still a slow mech here for the most part.
