That would be redundant.

But awesome.

As a huge fan of the Omni-Starter, I want this to be a thing.
I'm not sure how long you've been around on the forums, though you have a thousand posts. Never take anything JKlantern says seriously unless it's about food.

I created an improvised config out of the Prime where I replaced the two Large Lasers with a single Plasma Rifle, two tons of ammo and a Medium Pulse Laser. The idea was to get a similar heat profile while having a backup should something happen to the Plasma.

I'm just surprised that there's no Plasma Rifle config of the Omni-Firestarter

I actually have a Custom Pod load w/ one in my current mercs campaign group.

I call it the "P" configuration.

Plasma, 3 Mediums, and ECM+C3S+TAG to spot & destroy.

Is there a way to search the MUL for all plasma rifle equipped mechs?
Not exactly, but you can find some of them by searching for the AS heat trait, which I believe is HT.  That will find any Plasma Rifle, Cannon, or bundle of flamer death.

You can also create a log in at this fan developed site and search for Plasma Rifles here:

The reason I don't mention it first is it won't sort cannon designs from customs.  So if you can't spot the customs, refer to the MUL to weed them out.

The last person to suggest that probably ended up being dumped into subarctic conditions without survival gear, I suspect.

I'm not sure if we should bring this to the devs or to Randall Munroe!

I think Randal Munroe already answered a very similar question: Relativistic Baseball. Basically, a bunch of Bad Things Happen.

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.
