@ the moderators: i posted this threat at the lobby as well - please remove one of these treats if i located them wrong.

Dragon has about 30 tons available with ECM and speed set at 91kph, so I have a bit of experience here, and though not all my configs are puretech, I'll limit myself to those that are. I'm guessing you are outfitting a Dragon, Thanny, BK, or Avatar.

Brawler - LBX20, LBX10, 3 medium lasers

Mid-range - Heavy Gauss (*2 ammo), 2ISLL (or 1ISLL and 1LXPL), 1 sink or IFF

Strafe-runner - 2RAC2 (*2 ammo each), 2LXPL (or 1ISLL and 1LXPL), 2 sinks

Mid/Long range - Gauss rifle, LXPL, RAC2(*2 ammo)

Long range - 2ISPPC, Gauss rifle

Bombardier - 2 Arrow Thunderbolts (*2 ammo each)

Mix - 2ISLL, Light Gauss, ISPPC

These are obviously just a few suggestions out of the many possibilities, 30 tons really gives you a lot of options depending on what role you want to play.

fill those slots witha ppc or guass rifle and spend the rest on speed or sinks....thats just me anyways, i cant have enough speed

2 LBX20

Hmm, 30 tons. It's hard to imagine without a chassis...

LRM20
PPC
2x LAC5

Light Gauss
2x PPC
RL +1 ton

Gauss +1 ton
MRM20
ISRM +1 ton
2x Medium Lasers

All these are suitable for a 3 button grouping.

Or 2 cLBX20, and a LXPL (add a heat sink)

Or 2 cLBX20, and a couple medium X-pls (rest to HS, just to make sure you don't overheat from extended laser use).

He said IS puretech

Puretech shmure-tech...be a 'Merc! Use anything and everything you can get yer filthy liddle hands on

And that is why Gnosis will never be able to understand Puretech folks.

oh please
show some imagination next time

Except where almost 80% of my designs ARE puretech...I play(ed) (haven't had time lately) NBT a ton

2 LGauss + jj's
2 AC20
3 LXP
3 LRM15 and ammo
2 LRM20 + 2LL or 2LXP
2 RAC5 + LP
2 LL + HGauss
AC20 + AC10 + Meds

2 RAC2 + 2 LXP
2 PPC + LRM20
1 Arrow TB + 1LRM10 + meds
3 LL + AC10
LBX30 + meds

Woot didn't read carefully, its supposed to be mixed range/weapons.

2 HVAC10 -> will be out of ammo fast, hope it was 14 tons + ammo though or at least 60 ammo at start ... hehehehe MekTek request

My Wyvern config - PT version :

2 Light Gauss
2 IS Flamers
1 Inferno SRM

Fits fine in the Loki (with Clan Flamers, opentech) or Warhammer, though I usually have 2 Inferno's instead of one.

er... umm...

I'll work with the thanny, since no one has really touched it

2 Flamer
1 CLBX20 (no one will know *wink wink*)
1 ArrowIV+1

MRM40+2
CLBX20+1
2 CFlamer

3 CLBX10

2 LAC5
CLBX20+1
2 CFlamer

CGuass
LGuass
2 CFlamer

you get the idea
