I tried it on a battlemaster with 16 DHS and that was more than just viable. I can even alpha without overheating and after that you can dish out a solid left right combo with 30 PPFLD damage.

And that means you can do the same with 6 LPL which will run even cooler.

Indeed. 86 points less in heat penalty on 6xPPC. Looking at the IS numbers most of the scary boats get a buff... The exception being SRM boats.

The fact that PGI did not consider the 6PPC stalker when designing this public test shows their lack of understanding for this game. This is the very mech and weapon system that lead to Ghost Heat 1.0 in the first place and under current test conditions its totally viable.

Dual AC20, Medium laser boats, large laser boats, PPC boats and so on all get a buff. For some reason SRMs boats are on of the few thing to get a nerf and its a big one.

Weapon Boats that get a Buff:
2xAC20s was 11.52 extra heat on GH1 now only 5 on GH2.0
4xLL was 8.40 etra heat on GH1 now only 5 on GH2.0
6xLL was 37.80 extra heat on GH1.0 now only 15 on GH2.0
3xPPCs was 11.97 extra heat on GH1 now zero extra heat on GH2.0
6xPPCs was 101.75 (Holly Crap!) extra heat on GH1. Now only 15! Seriously???
9xMedium Laser was 13.60 extra heat on GH1 now only 7.5 on GH2.0
4xLRM10s was 5.38 extra heat on GH1 now zero on GH2.0

Weapon boats that get a Nerf:
6xSRM6 was 4.2 extra heat on GH1.0 now 12.0 extra heat
4xUltra5 was exempt from GH1.0 now 5 extra heat

If we completely remove the .5 divider
Then
SRMs reduced in energy draw to point two five
LRMs reduced in energy draw to point two five
PPCs increased in energy draw to 1.5
Rifle return to charge up mechanic and drop the 2 rifle limit

I think that would get us pretty close to the GH1.0 numbers

Considering the old hex PPC Stalker was one of the main reasons for the implementation of Ghost Heat 1.0 this is definitely something that should be taken care of. I think not a lot of players want to see those monsters reign again.
