That's the problem.  Energy weapons give the best firepower/space ratio, but
they produce too much heat.  If autocannons were smaller (but very heavy)
large 'mechs could use them.  As it stands you have to carry energy weapons
for when your autocannon runs out of ammo, and if you want to actually fire
them you have to carry heat sinks as well.  If the autocannons were smaller,
you could carry enough of them to punch as hard as a pure energy 'mech and
still have enough ammo to finish a mission.
