bracket builds can work so long as you have full overlap in some point of your range where you can fight optimally. that gives you the capabilities of b but the flexibility of a. this is most effective if your shortest range weapon is more than 400ish meters optimal. 400-600 is a good place for that full (or mostly full) overlap to be. just be careful when you are trading outside your optimal bracket, do it with friends and only in situations where you are not out gunned.

Yup, because when you get into red laser range, the ERPPCs work just fine.

i find the nature of ppc boats is that once you add the maximum number of ppcs you can use without ghost heat, there is little point of adding more. you can pack in the heat sinks at that point. if there are hardpoints and slots left over, and there always are if you are using dhs, i see no harm in slapping on some small lasers. when you can use them it maximizes your dps and dph, and when you are not in range to use them you are pushing your ppcs to the redline.

Always option B because even if you have a dedicated long range setup it will work just fine at any shorter range past the 90m ppc min range for certain ppc and IS lrm and clan atm. The laservomit dire as an example will smoke you at 100m just the same as 1000m.
