I've downloaded the NetEpic Gold correction Document and I've sent it to players from my group and all of them where stunned by non linked plasma weapons...After 2 mails exchanged we agreed that they should be limited to 1 max per titan.
We simply did the math and a warlord with 3 non linked plasma destructor and 1 fire control center costs:
500 + 225+225+225+75 = 1250 points
1250 points for 12 shots at 100cm that hit on 2+/-6.
Some may say that it costs 1250 points but this warlord could destroy so many things in a single activation each turn that it seems way to overpowered!
Limit to 1 max per titan may be a solution.
About Sentinels in Tech Guard, I don't remember they have existed in any version. E:A lists creators added them to get an easy and cheap activation for their list.
Hi!
That is more a problem of net epic's old point system than it is the weapon itself. Under Magnus' point cost formula such a titan is staggeringly expensive, but under the net epic pricing scheme its just "costly", but perhaps not costly enough.
Your restriction seems good enough (1 per titan), given the limitations of the old cost system.
I suspect a lot of the "newer" stuff proposed will only be balanced under the new formula and "problematic" when adjusted to the old way of pricing things.
