Yeah.. sorry, but NO.

Sadly, this game is made in such a way that boating is the ONLY option for some mechs.. Some mechs have varied hardpoints, but what's saaaay, a Nova gonna do? Or a Mad Dog? Or an Executioner?

Even if you just make it so you have peanalites for boating the exact same, like 2 x LRM10s, and not punish 1 LRM 5 + 1 LRM15, you're still gonna make mechs asymmetric, which will piss many people off (me first, I hate asymmetric mechs), and it will mess with cooldown times..

So yeah.. sorry, this game just isn't made that way..

Its not meant to stop boating alltogether, its just meant to handicap mix builds and mechs with really bad hardpoint combos or hardpoint starved.

I have an idea, how about we do what tt did and get rid of hardpoints completely...

MW3 was like that and it was a complete mess. A fun mess perhaps (because the singleplayer AI can't exploit it), but a horribly broken one at that.

Because then every mech becomes a potential 16x Machinegun cancer boat.

I was rather thinking about medium laser hedgehog.

IIRC the MW3 meta was lagshield superspeed Striders with 16 ER Small Lasers?

I never played the multiplayer but the gyro overload from Ultras was remarkably OP from what I remember.
