In the Marauder LBX thread Cray mentioned LPPCs. I think they could be made to work rather well, especially with capacitors!
This machine is the concept of the ancient Awesome, but with five LPPC's instead of three regular ones. All of them have capacitors.. a charged alpha strike could do 50 damage, pretty decent. (puts you at about 20 on the heat scale though, so that should only be done from a safe spot or in desperation; at least there is no ammunition to worry about.) Normally the pilot should alternate 3 and 2 charged shots, unless looking to get a crit on an exposed location, in which case you'd alpha everything but NOT charge the capacitors.
The rest of the mech is solid in my opinion. A Light Fusion engine is more survivable than the Inner Sphere XLs for certain. Other weight savings come from the Endo Steel, XL Gyro, Small Cockpit. To get the big-rating engine for as much free-space heat sinks as practical, I made it rather fast, 5/8. Armor is a couple tons short of maximum.. the only thing I can think of to change might be to sacrifice a flank MP to get Hardened Armor, for better crit resistance.
Thoughts?

...I was re-reading the page for the Awesome on the wiki. There is already a design like this lol.. the AWS-11M rocks 8 LPPC's, half with capacitors. It's mixed tech though, uses Clan heat sinks.

Big difference is weight and overall tech level.
Years, and years ago on either the LotB, or HMP forums somebody played with the idea of "pocket assaults". Basically, take a 50-60 tonner, use Hardened Armor and mimic something like an Awesome. Might be an interesting concept.

I honestly believe isn't not very efficient having a PPC capacitor for every light PPC in terms of heat dissipation and damage potential over several turns. The PPC capacitor has two big drawbacks, being it takes a turn to charge without the PPC firing and 5 points of heat while charging/when charged per turn or when fired.
I like the design, but I think it might be more effective replacing some of the capacitors with 2-3 standard medium lasers, as this gives you some close range protection, as well as breathing room in terms of heat management. Or heck replace 3 with another Light PPC...this design has decent heat control with 18 heat sinks to make do with 4 Light PPC's + 2 Light PPC + capacitors alternating over or alpha striking for several turns.
