Would really like to see the stats of weapons. Until you buy it and use it, you have no idea how far the weapon can reach and do the damage it is designed for. Also would be cool to see how much heat each one will generate when fired. that way you can plan which ones are better to group together as you are installing them on your mech.

The other day I changed some stuff around on my Stalker. It had 4 medium lasers and I upgraded two of the mediums with two medium pulse lasers. Didn't know that the range of the pulse lasers was shorter then the regular medium lasers till I was in the battle field. I probley would have not bought the pulse lasers if I knew this ahead of time cause I fire all 4 lasers at the same time. So depending on my distance, 2 lasers are doing damage and the other 2 probley aren't doing half of what they could at shorter ranges. It wasn't a big deal, I still fire all four no matter what distance I am but I think this would make buying weapons and setting your mech up more challenging, interesting and calculating to people.

I would also like to see some weapons that can do damage to multiple mechs at once. like a missle that fires like LRM missles do but hit an area not a targeted mech. Kind of like a mortor. I think players would have fun with this and like to use them. Just one thought about something like this is I would limit how much ammo someone could epuipt. That way it isn't exploited and also limit which classes can use them. Not a bunch of damage but the closer to the explosion area the more the mech will take damage kind of thing. Also have a kind of long minumium shot range. Also have it do damage to friendly mechs so you need some skill to use them or you will hurt your friendlies and also minimize exploit. Obviously if you have a bunch of friendlies in a area with a bunch of enemy mechs a person wouldn't use it. Well hopefully anyway. I have seen some pretty trigger happy players that don't care whos in front of them when they fire lol.

We've been told the MechLab will be getting an overhaul at some point. Hopefully better info is part of that.

LRMs are great at accidentally TKing your buddies when they try to facehug your target.

TY Dixie Normiss. That is a awesome link. It will be great to have those values on the mech lab for the weapons. Just the heat and damage alone. I learned alot looking at the chart that shows DPS and heat values. Thanks again
