The problem everyone thinks they see is wrong; It would not be the end of the game as we know it if you could run around with laser boats kitchen-sinking non-stop … if the lasers would stop converging down to one armor location on the target.

It took me a while to figure out why all the lasers behave like pulses (and how all the ACs behave like rifles), but I see it now. The problem becomes how a pile of lasers, like on the Swayback, can offset the need to hold focus on a target location.

I get how arm guns must be allowed to converge on a target, but I now believe all the torso mounts have to go from a "firm" mount to a "hard" one. It should be possible for some of the torso lasers on a Swayback to miss-high, or some hit the arm and others hit the torso of a target; The torso PPCs of a Awesome should do the same thing, one hitting a targets head, the other missing clean …

I have no idea how hard this would be to implement, but I urge Teh Devs®™ to think it through once or twice.
