So before the Max EN changes, i've invested on 2xPC8 as a late game build for my Jugg. However the plan is basically cancelled by the fact that Jugg can equip 2xCB12 once fully upgraded. So that's the reason why I thought how about what if we have an option to equip a 3rd weapon. It is still limited by the Max EN capacity but now you can safely invest in a TL6 and equip it on a medium mech for a 2xTL6+SB12 build. This also opens up for combinations like 10+10+12 or 8+8+16 on heavy mech. Offcourse you can still build 2xRG Panther but 2xLA8+RG will also be an option. What do ya think?

The balance has revolved around 2 weapons from the get-go. Do that, and there are so many combinations that can work that you are almost guaranteed at least one to be game breaking. There may be a way to do it, but I would limit it to a specific bot or maybe the Support or Scout classes... not the classes with high energy. Even that would probably be too much, though.

Yes offcourse we have this risk of having OP builds but I think it's limited by the fact that we can only have 2 copies of any equipment and we already have 2xRG so that's that. My concern on thia idea is as a grind game you can't really invest that much on a TL6 knowing that even light mechs will overgrow it at 1 point. Being able to equip 3 weapons will allow us to invest on lower EN weapon without the taught that we have to replace them someday.

Both the 4 and 6 variant apply overheat fast enough to guarantee pretty much any weapon set deals 50% more damage. For reference, 2x carb 10 + TL4 would be the functional equivalent of carb 30 when OH is proc'd. LA10+ Railgun+ TL6 would be the functional equivalent of LA 15+ RG 24. |

Ok so looks like my idea will bring more problem than solutions. I just hate seing new player that have to invest on lower EN weapon that will not be Optimal later in the game when the mech outgrow them. Like all 6EN and below weapon will get outgrown even by light mechs.
