Is there going to be a Bombast laser or something like it?

Bombast Laser:

Quote

Developed by the Lyran Alliance in 3064, the Bombast Laser was designed to be the ultimate word in laser weapons. During the design process, its engineers had to reduce weight of the weapon. This sacrifice came from the power supply, which made the weapon slow charging.

To make up for this, the engineers added the ability for the warrior to adjust the yield of damage inflicted by the weapon. The power management, however, proved to be impractical and distracting in the field for its users. The weapon reached prototype production by 3064.

Its unusual pre-fire glow from building up its power became popular showy weapon on Solaris VII.

As it's canonically introduced - in prototype form - in 3064, it probably won't be in at launch...?

You are welcome! Fans of the BT / Mechwarrior universe are very passionate as well as very well versed in the canon and universe itself. Most, with very few exceptions, are very willing to help out, answer questions and spread the word of battletech.

I would suggest checking out Sarna.net as a great resource for all things Battletech (in general), MWOWiki.org for all things Mechwarrior: Online related.

There are other great resources but these places would give you a ton of data in a very centralized location.

Thank you for the resources!
