I've always been of the opinion that PPCs are
not meant to be fast firing, spammy weapons. They've always been Hot, Hard hitting, and long range, meant to be pinpoint, and not meant to be used gratuitously. If I want to spam fire, I would gravitate towards ACs and Pulse Lasers. As such, I'm not big on buffing the cooldown of the LPPC, or any PPC for that matter.
I do agree though, that several PPCs, including the LPPC need a little bit of help when compared to the plethora of lasers out there. The Light PPC would would be fine with a simple damage buff, (Probably to 6 or so, with a corresponding rise in heat) which would make the weapon a Lighter weight, but harder hitting for the tonnage Standard PPC. To keep it from replacing the PPC in masse, keep the ghost heat limits low, to force stagger fire if you're boating more than 3 of them.
As for my opinions on the other PPCs, the Snub could use an improvement in the heat department, (Making it actually useful for its intended short range) and the Standard PPC could use a 1ish point Damage buff. The clan one, and HPPC are actually OK right now, IMO.
