Finally got enough saved to buy a mech. I have been fooling around with the faster mechs and realizing that I am enjoying it, so I got a Cicada 3C. In retrospect I might have got something else, but I thought I could add a SRM to it at some point, not realizing that Missile and Ballistic hardpoints were different.

About customization, I think I am a little confused. I have one energy hardpoint, and 4 ballistic. Assuming I free up weight somehow, I could add an AC/5 to replace my MGs, but I couldnt get an AC/10 since it takes too many slots, is that right?

How about Structure, Armor or Heat Sink improvements? For example it says I need 3 times the space for double heat sinks, but what does that mean? I need 3 slots for one? So I have 11 heat sinks now, so it would use 33 slots instead of 11? So it would just fill all those empty slots in my arms until 22 were filled up? Does it matter where these go?
