Warriors experiment with loadouts constantly. The Stanstandard configurations are just the most popular or the developers preffered configurations. But a warrior should have the ability to reconfigure there Omni to fit there preferences. Want a more heat efficient Dire Wolf? A warrior could design and use one if desired and the omnipods were available.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

Heat efficiency is cowardice and would not be accepted in my Star.

I'll just release you lest you taint my honor.

It's not increasing heat efficiency, its trading DPS for DOT :thumbsup:

If I can blast an opponent into ruin in one salvo. I can cool down later and lose less armor in the process. Rinse and repeat till the Trial is won

That's some wishful thinking right there... kinda perfect for a Clan warrior, really.

Well, then have I got a mech for you!  It can core an Omega in a single alpha strike!  With 8 ER PPCs on your Dire Wolf, you won't have to worry about making a second shot, because even if the target survives, you won't be able to do anything about it.  At 120 heat, don't bother slapping that OVERRIDE button, it's just there to make the inspectors happy.  We disabled it so that's one less thing you have to think about.

So, shall I go start the paper work so you can take this bad dog home today? :D

 . . . you now make me want to try that out.  I mean the question is, does blasting a mech with 120 damage offset the hypothetical Dire Wolf sitting there for 3 or 4 turns until it can pass a start up check . . . which is sort of feasible under the Clan trial system.  I mean if they cripple their opponent and no one else is free to engage them . . .

The original Supernova sort of does this . . . just not quite as far.

It's certainly a very Clan thing to do, but I don't like the overall odds. If I were given to wagers, I would bet that the more common outcome is that you take out a side torso.  While your opponent might be down to half of their weapons and are facing a PSR, but when they get up, they will have 3-4 turns shooting at an immobile target.

Look I like to live the Clan Way dangerously so you better swap half of those ERPPCs out for some Heavy Large Lasers (for max of 132)and I will say it is 'Bargained Well and Done.' possibly even 'Well Done' for myself.

If you're less "Lightening Factory on Legs," and more of "Disco of Death" kind of person then we can accommodate you with no less than 12 large heavy lasers! 192 points of damage.  That damage/gross weight ratio of 1.92!  And it will only cost you 218 heat points,And a small TH penalty.

Sounds like the logical end of the Black Hawk H.
