You talk about cherry picking and you just cherry picked part of my comment you found wrong, no any mech with a energy slot can carry a light ppc you just have to find room.

First, I quoted your comment in full.

Second, my reply was truthful.

AAAND neither of those are lights...

Yes indeed like I said in same post that you totally ignored.
"Light mechs just don't have enough tonnage to be effective lurmer and narcer."
That is why I gave options that CAN do that play style --> indirect fire without asking/relying on team for locks.

personally, as someone who just does random drops, i want to use it just to flag targets for group info, but for what 3? tons plus a ton of ammo. nope. thats a good weapon for a light/medium. it would have to be like .5 tons plus 1ton ammo and last like a full minute. id run that for fun rarely without any score bonus. score bonus for tagging, id run it slightly more often but not much. idk how that would play out on tier 1 group drops, but is anybody really using it much now in any setup?

IS NARC system weighs 3 tons and takes up 2 equipment slots.

Clan NARC system weighs 2 tons and takes up 1 equipment slot.

NARC launcher weighing 0.5 ton with NARC Beacon lasting 1 minute would be really strong.

In group drops, it can be devastating.

One second you are narced, the next second you are hit with two hundred LRMs. And in the next few seconds again ... and again. If you do not have some hard cover or friendly ECM nearby, usually you are screwed.

I do not use it too often in the normal Quick Play gameplay. In higher Tiers you can not be even sure that any other friendly player will deploy with LRMs.

Narcing your own targets is possible, but it is less than ideal solution.
