As a solution to boating weapons, perhaps the various weapons calibers could consume differing numbers of hard points. The thought is that larger weapons not only have more size and weight but require more mechanical connections to the internal mechanisms. In this way small and medium caliber lasers consume one hardpoint, while all large class and PPCs consume two hardpoints. All SRMs, SSRMs, and LRMs to class 10 would consume 1 hardpoint, and all LRM 15s and LRM 20s would consume 2 hardpoints. All class 2 and 5 autocannons would consume one hardpoint, all class 10 autocannons and gauss rifles would consume 2 hardpoints, and all class 20 autocannons would consume 3 hard points. To determine the hardpoints available on a given mech, we could use the stock configuration as a guide.
