Suddenly, I'm wiping the floor with everyone. So, I swapped it out for MK2 pulse turrets, and switched to the long-range, high damage, slow recharge broadside (I forget the name). I've decided that the limited-ammo Swarm Launcher turret doesn't really fit with my play style - I tend to plow through all five side missions at a time and I've been running out of ammo for that thing one or two missions in. Looks like I'll be making a life long enemy of the black jack thugs (which is fine, since they don't seem to have any outposts in system anyway). I'm still putzing around in the first system. How is that relevant to this thread? Well, I picked this up over the steam winter sale, and it's looking pretty radical. After plowing through Mechwarrior 2, MW2: Mercs, MW3, MW4: Vengeance, I got stuck on a combination of MW3 Pirate's Moon, MW4 Black Knight and Mech Commander.
