120 Damage for twenty heat and two tons! Did I mention they fire AFTER the melee phase? That means they crit more easily as well. That means you could load up 4 small lasers for only a couple of tons.

For 5 heat on a +++ weapon you get 30 damage and 50% crit. Upgraded small lasers are the most heat efficient and pound for pound the hardest hitting weapons in the game. These include machine guns, flamers, and small lasers. It's also a hugely damaging attack, strips gaurded and ignores cover, applies a massive amount of stability damage, alllows your mech to cool, and fires the ever-so-hoped-for anti-personnel weapons. Switching to a melee attack is a good alternative to being forced to fire only one or two weapons to keep your mech from shutting down and cooking your pilot. When your tank/brawler is heat critical, you should be looking for someone to punch in the face. Heat should build every round, forcing you to be as effecient and effective as possible in allocating damage resources. A heat neutral mech is a poorly designed mech. Unless you are building a dedicated energy platform, they take away tonnage that could be allocated for heavier weapons. Generally speaking, the fewer heat sinks, the better. These topics are some of the least known but best ways to improve your gameplay and mech loadouts right out of the gate. 'Yours is the superior intellect.' Joachim in Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan While I may not agree with everything he states, I highly recommend it to any budding mechwarrior trying to learn his/her craft. If you are looking for a more definative and complete guide, I will direct you to Kurisu's 'A General Gameplay Guide'. I will only cover some of the basics of gameplay and moderately advanced tactics and strategies. This guide was created so that I can share some of what I've learned in hopes of sparing others from making the same mistakes I did. Needless to say, it's been a crash course since then. I admit now that I didn't take it as seriously as I should have. Heck, I even played the card game! But I didn't really know what to expect when I started playing Battletech a few weeks ago. Some of the offerings since then have been great, some significantly less so, but I've always enjoyed the rich lore of the expanded universe. In fact, I remember playing the original game out of the box on a hex map.
