ER Binary Laser cannon

[AJC46]

IS tech base
Experimental tech

A evolution of sorts to the experimental binary laser system also known by it's nickname "Blazer"

it uses 2 ER large cores instead of 2 standard large cores as such it has more range but generates extreme heat that makes the standard "Blazer" look cool.

with the extreme amount of heat generated by the weapon only mechs ASF and large craft can hold the amount of heat sinks needed to safely fire even one copy of this weapon.

12 Damage
IS ER large laser range
Generates 24 heat
10 tons
4 crit space

shouldn't it be 9 tons? It would be interesting to use. A nice heavy hitter at long range for sure... but needing the 9 tons to mount it and 2 more tons worth of double heat sinks just to fire it, lol. Crazy. But neato :)

Mmm, nice idea.   Hmm, how about glueing together 2 regular MLas and raising heat a bit...
Neat, a halfrange, 2t almost-PPC...   Perfect for light mechs.    :)

[Hptm. Streiger]

what makes the ER-Binary interesting is the heat...with 24heats you need 3 additional heat sinks to run and use this laser...even with 9 tons it is outclassed by the HPPC only aspect you have 1 more range and no minimal range.
Not sure if i ever want to use this ER binary laser cannon

With the tonnage decrease, the stats on this are workable, but that heat is a bear to deal with.
What we really need is a chemical Blazer to mount on Vees, heat free.  >:D

Read through my Non-Canon Cannons thread, I have one in there. :D

Anyway, the ER Blazer doesn't really do it for me. As Streiger said, in most other respects it's outdone by the Heavy PPC (9 less heat and 3 more damage).
