Was that intentional or did Clans lose that bonus or something? I noticed that it was suspiciously absent from the TC stats...

The XML files show laser range for both faction TCs, but it's not having any effect in-game for some reason. PGI is either overriding it somehow or it's a bug.

Hm, its not in the PTS notes either (as in the table with the stats, there is no row for beam weapon range)

We had a thread on this earlier. It sounded like this may have been an oops moment.

[Kaethir]

it doesn't show up in the game when you load a TC for either side...

Ya its not on both. It looks to me as a nerf to clans

if true, its the final nail in the coffin for the TC1 final slot filler. CAP is now a significantly better choice.

If the laser range is gone, the only use for TCs is now (PPC) velocity, and for that you need to run a bigger one really.

Yeah, and even the PPC velocity for the IS TCs is lower (or at least lower than what is on live) at 3% per size.

Its not 3% per level, its 3 for the first and 5 for each thereafter.. oddly. Maybe IS being able to use up that last slot is OP, BAP being 2 slots? lol

All of the IS auxiliary equipment has penalties relative to their Clan counterparts. Even MASC, which isn't supposed to be worse. I am not sure they really appreciate the weight and slot constraints that even the good IS builds are under to be as good as they are. There's nothing left to devote to these value-add items, let alone ones that are worse.
