 Re: Patch notesJeffL wrote: Of course, small weapons are either shorter range or do less damage, but thems the breaks. Right, and we don't use them because we already have reduced range and less damage than most classes. So to effectively exploit our speed, we need high range, high DPS weapons. Which are, in turn, large. It's a bit paradoxical, though I see where you're coming from. None of the other classes really pose such a problem. Maybe I'll just stay hopeful that the SD change will be a positive one. _________________ while (!asleep(sheep++)) {} |

Re: Patch notes Magcannons are large because of the Range and Tracking.
Jiji and anything like it is large because of Etherealness and Tracking. RoP is just plain broken. Pulses are large from the extreme DPS you can get and the fact they have superior DPE. Cap-Style Lasers....umm, full tracking, long range, heavy hitting power...yeah, no reason why they should be big. Most of the small lasers have a number of difficulties: Low DPS Low DPE Low or no Tracking Short Range Not Ethereal No special effects Laser damage _________________ Salt Assault drew this conclusion from the latest devblog.

Re: Patch notes wzaerreazw wrote: Yeah I get that, but I'm just struggling to understand why every tech 20 beam/magcannon weapon must be size 150+, excluding the Unholy Laser... Which is Laser Damage so it's not useful for much other than PvP. And ofc SD's only use these types of weapons because of their tracking. I noticed earlier that you said you were planning on re-balancing SD's; does this include lifting some of the hull limitations? because quite honestly every time I can't scoop something like a Tardis it just pisses me off. Then I look at the size 150+ weapons and I'm like "arrrg!" Eh, whatever, I get frustrated easily. Sorry for bugging you. I don't really know what you're complaining about. Excomm is small and one of the best dging weapons I know of. Even with the range nerf on the DS overloader, you can aug perfectly well to get acceptable range with it. If you dg with merc/venu mag, you shouldn't expect to be able to scoop much. Also, I've never heard of a decent PvAI SD that had 1000 free space for a Tardis. As Jeff said, them's the breaks. _________________ Hi, I'm Anil, a long-time player turned developer.
