Good stuff. I like the armor and symmetry. The snubbie precedent has been set by a couple canon Pixie LAMs and this doubles down.
Don’t think there are any Clan (improved or regular) heavy large or medium lasers on the canon LAMs. That would probably be the most efficient way to boost 10+ point hole-punching on LAMs without much loss of range vice snubbies.
For example, a couple heavy medium lasers can throw 10-point hits out to the same 9-hex range as your snubbies while saving ten tons. Some of that can be plowed back into a targeting computer to partially offset the loss of accuracy at heavy medium laser’s medium and long range. You’ll still have eight tons to plow into speed, armor, or other weapons/equipment.
A heavy large laser is also an option that saves eight tons (six with the TC) vice the snubbies, while preserving all their range and most of their damage and also concentrating that damage in a single 16-point hit.
Of course, you have to be comfortable with mixed tech for this.
Again, good stuff.
