I don't understand what you said in your previous post.

The weapon systems I have seen and my group has used that replicate a
pulsar stuck in one mode are all mass*4 and include the option to fire
as a PDF. These seem to work OK and are not over the top.

Massed gattling batteries can be nasty but you have to be able to close
to within 12MU. This is hard if the enemy is able to move away from you.

  so, it seems that opinion is that even a pulsar 'stuck' in one mode
but still allowed its PDS ability is a MASSX5 weapon, or MASSX4?

  Also, so the weaponms your referring to as well John (NIFT I assume?)
but I wanted to keep any conversions I do as close to 'canon' FT as I
could :)  Even though such a thing is a bit of a loose definition in and
of itself!

    Um. I'm not entirely sure what you mean with "mode" here.

    The Pulser PDS ability is an integral part of the "profile" of
*each* of 
    the different configurations (C, M and L), so if all you do is
forbid the 
    weapon from being reconfigured it will retain the PDS ability and
its 
    points cost won't change at all (because the points cost only
measures the 
    weapon's value *during* tactical battles, and Pulsers can only be 
    reconfigured *between* battles).

    If you remove the PDS ability, the Pulser cost drops to 4x Mass
(regardless 
    of whether or not it can be reconfigured between battles).

    I hope this helps...

    I've found weapon systems that duplicate the effects you have
described.

    The Gat! ling blaster is 12" range and6 beam dice or 1 PDS shot. Its
mass times 4

    The Twin Particle Array duplicates the pulsar in M mode and again
its mass times 4.

    They get quite expensive but I have seen mass 50 cruisers mounting 5
multi arc arrays ans can dish out a fair number of dice at 24 inches.
