I didn't take the time to post--but you nailed my thought on the head. Two Clan-grade ER PPC (produced in FedSuns already for the new Marauder lines) backed up by one regular IS Gauss Rifle and one SB Gauss would be just sick. The extra heat would be slightly problematic, but I doubt anyone would complain about the extra firepower. Perhaps drop a medium laser for an extra HS. I don't want to derail thread, so I'll go ahead and say the DVS-11 is back on track.
Hey, not bad for a dude who’s actually never designed a Mech and is still trying to figure out the construction rules! 😆 (My current fantasy project is doing “3025 Now”, redesigning all the original 3025 stock Mechs but using all off the Ilkhan era tech available, like the stock was would have something like a light PPC, and MML 3, reflective armor, and maybe advance structure, improve jump nets, partial wing, etc. Take all that with a grain of salt, though, because, like I said, I’ve got the ideas, but no idea what I’m doing 😆).
Back on the Devastator: I was saying IS ER PPCs, not even going as nasty as the Clan ER PPCs.
To steer further back on topic, I love the new art and plastic sculpt of the Devastator, too, and can’t wait until mine arrive.
