Yes, Oerjan is correct. I said it was more massive, then gave it the
same
MASS. Originally, the Heavy Laser was to have a higher MASS and lower
point
cost than the Battle Laser, but then I abandoned the points as a
balancing
factor and just went with MASS. Since it does twice the damage but has
half
the fire rate, I couldn't see giving it anything other than the same
MASS. I
guess they're just big, bulky, have limited arc, and have more exposed
externally mounted components.
So, anyway, the rule stands even if it contradicts my descriptive text.
