==Comment on balance==
 
Same range, similar damage, colder than, and 1/5th the weight of an IS large laser? Battletech is not a balanced game by any measure, regardless of the cost difference.{{Unsigned|216.211.14.58}}
 
:Game balance is not really a wiki issue though, if anything I am purposefully trying to steer the wiki away from having anything to do with rules at all. It is kinda hard to rephrase stats and rules, and to directly copy the text is Plagiarism--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 10:44, 19 June 2020 (EDT)

::This table has the Magna Mk whatever span ID around it, so maybe that will work. This way we get the advantage of the table layout and still provide fluff details.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]]<sup>([[User_talk:Mbear|talk]])</sup> 10:38, 27 September 2019 (EDT)

:::I am specifically trying not to put such info into tables as the weapons articles are already very number and rules heavy compared to the rest of the wiki. I want to try and encourage fluff to be written as you can buy a copy of the rules pretty easily if you want hard numbers.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 11:15, 27 September 2019 (EDT)
 
::::OK. That's fair. I just find all the tables redundant, but I'm willing to go along. --[[User:Mbear|Mbear]]<sup>([[User_talk:Mbear|talk]])</sup> 11:03, 10 October 2019 (EDT)
