I guess this is a thing now.
No ghost heat penalty (April 2021).

Update:
Micro Pulse Laser (Clan):

• Damage decreased to 2.8 (from 3.0)
• Heat penalty minimum level set to 13 - Fire 12 with no heat penalty

Notes: The combination of damage and range increase as well as removal from the heat penalty system in April turned C-Micro pulse lasers into a potent back-up/complimentary weapon on a large variety of 'Mechs. While the changes achieved the intended goal of making them into viable weapon options for a wide range of 'Mechs, some were able to push the balance boundaries through sheer number of energy hardpoints, which allowed them to bring high alpha damage, high dps, low heat, and high speed to the table at the same time. To address this, this patch includes a slight damage reduction to the micro-pulse lasers, as well as re-activation of the heat penalty system (at 13). These changes...

Big hitting backstabber.

Remember to limit the weapon groups to 5 HSL maximum.

DO NOT ALPHA.

This should kill most heavies and below with a full Rear CT burn.

1.7 seconds can be a long time.

Do not brawl. You are an assassin. Hit and run.

Bring cool shots for emergencies.

You may have to chain fire after the initial burst to finish a mech.
Don't shutdown.]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2019 01:41:18 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-pokey-1lpl-6erul-xl180.16234/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-pokey-1lpl-6erul-xl180.16234/ invalid@example.com (renzor51) renzor51

Just saving this here in case anyone gets the idea about bring back another map challenge event.

Got my game on Viridian with 50 minutes left in the event.

The map challenge did not increase my joy with the game.]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2018 20:03:08 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-mugger-5xchsl-10xcerul-cxl180.14982/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-mugger-5xchsl-10xcerul-cxl180.14982/ invalid@example.com (Remover of Obstacles) Remover of Obstacles

Just a leg hugging one button alpha machine.

If you want, you could upgrade the micros to pulse lasers at the cost of heat sinks and a bit of armor.]]> 5 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 14:07:06 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-chomp-4xchml-10xcerul-cxl180.14979/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-chomp-4xchml-10xcerul-cxl180.14979/ invalid@example.com (Remover of Obstacles) Remover of Obstacles

Take a bite and run. Alpha lights need to eat on the go.

Thanks to PGI, this should have no ghost heat. (4 x 8 + 10 x 1.15 = 32 + 11.5 = 43.5 heat per alpha)

Big-ish opener and 10x ERuL to finish things off and carve up other lights well waiting for the Heavies to come off cool down or to bleed off enough heat.

Design Notes: We feel there has been enough time away from various internal touch points regarding the Micro Lasers that we want to provide them with some buffs to ease of use. We are breaking them off from the other Clan Small and...

Someone had to post this. It's stupid, but it actually works surprisingly well. You have 3 groups, and with good burn control generate no ghost heat. The alpha strike WILL kill you.

Came up with this well in advance, but b33f was running it a lot last night. He somehow had a couple 1k+ games, but was mostly suiciding for instakills, because tiny dire star memes.

Respect these, they're out there like mad right now and they can and will oneshot you.]]> 12 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 09:13:06 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-the-perfect-organism-12x-cerul-2x-cermls-cap-xl180.13682/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-the-perfect-organism-12x-cerul-2x-cermls-cap-xl180.13682/ invalid@example.com (Spheroid) Spheroid ]]> Thu, 25 Jan 2018 02:48:30 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-stretch-fish-1xcerppc-2xcersl-cxl170.13672/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pir-2-stretch-fish-1xcerppc-2xcersl-cxl170.13672/ invalid@example.com (Dagonus) Dagonus

Stupid hot, but 60 damage isn't to be ignored.

Run cool shots my friends.


Look Mom, no arms!
