Its stated on forum that clan LAP doesnt occupy any slots, but in game it does require a slot. Also no specs are available that I can find to help me determine its role

The forum statement was wrong. It was always supposed to take up 1 slot.

Its role is to fit a Probe on your mech if you really really want to save 0.5 tons. Not very useful.

Thats disappointing. The no slot aspect seemed pretty cool. Half a ton is a bit more ammo or a stronger shield arm or whatever. I can see it being useful to any mech that primarily doesn't want to get radar jammed and isolated by an ecm mech (while enjoying some targeting boosts), or on a light mech where every ton (or half ton) as well as faster than average targeting info is critical. Not ground-breaking but options are nice. I think that in reality, LAP will essentially amount to another ecm nerf as more mechs will have active probes equipped.
