which single piece of 3050 clan weaponry would you invest your nation's RnD and industrial infrastructure funds into mass producing? Why?
I was going to ask these two polls as a single question but the polls are limited and couldn't fit 18 items. So you get to invest in two items. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

While many will choose the ERPPC or ER Lasers, I think the CLRM has the greatest potential positive effect on Inner Sphere forces if mass produced. Half the weight with no minimum range. Every missile boat just got better. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

I did LRMs for the reasons you provided. No minimum range is HUGE!! _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator

Pulse lasers are tempting because they have such a great range and damage advantage over SL/IS ones.
ER lasers and PPCs are tempting because of the range and damage advantages.
But LRM’s take the cake here for the reasons already given.

Pulse lasers.
Because Clan large pulse lasers act like they have a 14 hex short range.
Which roughly translates to, ton for ton they do about the same damage as Clan lrms.
Also I use a lot of medium pulse lasers. Upgrading to Clan tech just wildly improves my capabilities.
