With the improvements on the MG and the Flamer, i was just wondering what you chaps think of the idea of Flamers and Machineguns being 'non-specific' in their Hardpoints setting?

ie: a Flamer isnt an Energy weapon and can therefore be slotted in a Ballistics hardpoint. I would have to suggest not allowing them into Missile slots incase we get some Rambo Catapults wanting to be a MG boat but so long as MG/Flamers didnt get an 'uber boost' then i suppose its not out of the question.

I think with this, you could easily fill in the gaps on a loadout. If you've only got 1 ton of space left, and a spare Ballistics Hardpoint, you cant do anything useful with it, but with the above suggestion, you would be able to take a Flamer in its place thus adding to your tactical ability/loadout.

This might be a bit against canon, so if your a hardcore BattleTecher, sorry if this is against the law, lol.

What do we think?
