As the table provided in the official post has errors, I've added all the values to one table together with my suggestions.

IS weapons have green colored group (column A)
Clan weapons have blue colored group
All buffs have blue font
All nerfs have red font




You can use the pre-set filterviews for
- Live weapons
- Suggested weapons
- Suggested weapons by dps
- Suggested weapons by dps/ton

You will see that the suggested weapon stats are better aligned between clan/is and all classes and sizes than on live.



How I decided what to change:
Medium laser as baseline in general to be around 1.5dph and 1dps/ton


DPS/Ton from best to worst:
CHSL > CERmicro > CERSL > SL > CmicroPL > ERSL > CSPL
CHML > CMPL = MPL = CERML = ML > ERML
CHLL > LPPC > CERPPC > CLPL > SNPPC > CERLL > LPL > LL > ERLL > ERPPC > PPC > HPPC

Clan lasers to have a bit more dmg with other stats as trade-off with similar/better dps/ton and smilar dps

Pulse lasers for short cd weapon focusing on higher dps and dph but a bit lower on dps/ton (besides mediums which have same)

ER lasers to have a bit more range for a bit more cd/beam/heat (as of now).
Changed Med/Large ERs to have only 150% max range over optimal range (for both sides)

Heavy lasers to be about 125-150% higher on dmg and dps than ERs, but have a longer cd/duration

Reduced heat on most lasers to compensate for the difficulty increase (longer beam)

take down the ERPPC heat to 11 and reduce it's velocity

My biggest beef with the PTS1.1 changes is the pulse laser duration.
While I can understand that with very long ER/Heavy laser duration, the Pulse lasers would imideately be more popular, I think a pulse laser should be max 1.0s ever. Rather 0.6 - 0.8 in general.

As others already suggested also, the idea of using very short cd/beam for pulse lasers to make them energy dakka sounds tempting for me.
Sure, you might get more facetime with the higher RoF, but it might be useful for some fast brawling/skirmishing roles.
