I'd really like to run four of these on a Quickdraw 4G or H, but I can't/won't because of that ghost heat. Short of getting rid of the GH I'd like limited hard point mechs like the Phract and Dragons, Qucikdraws, Vindis, etc, to have "no GH quirks" for lower damage weapons at the very least. I mean come on it would be 20 points.

Fire them in pairs instead of all at once... Problem solved.

No. I'll just take 2 ER or even regular PPCs instead for the same alpha and no ghost heat. I'd rather use all my hard points but for whatever reason PGI doesn't want that due to the arbitrary need for GH on this particular 4-weapon 20 point alpha. Its stupid. It as Chris Lowery has put it: "forces players into a build" dictated by the game mechanics in order to be most effective. That isn't player choice, rather it is dictated by the ever so well thought out ghost heat mechanic. Fine, they want me to play the old 2 weapons, that's what I'll do.

Ghost heat does suck on these, even the dual light gauss and dual light ppc ghost heat is terra bad.
