Topic: Medium lasers on Baphomet
I mentioned in another thread I was starting to do this, but wanted a little more help from the 'numbers' guys.
I'm only looking at the 'short' range med lasers; since the small lasers have a range of 150 and the med 175, they should more or less be effective in an alpha strike, and it would require a second amp to get a 300m + locking range that I would rather use for a tuner.
I guess I wouldn't be opposed to looking at a (2) HCL Med laser setup though, for sniping.
The obvious issue here it why, since I can sit a mech, would I want to spend all that EP on reactor stuff to get those on a Baph... well, I guess it is something that is keeping me intersted in playing, and hey, maybe those reactor points will come in handy when Arty comes out...
Any thoughts on if this will actually be useful, or am I just doing it for fun?
So far I've noticed that, when I actually hit with the Med. it does 50 ish dmg but has a slower rate of fire than the small, which does about 22 dmg and hits most of the time, and 44 ish with crit.
