Originally by: Meehan Difference is you only need so much ammo to replenish ALL your guns. An Apoc pilot will now need a full rack of another set of crystals to have enough for a single reload... now you do the maths.
Umm... how much cargo space will a second set of crystals take up?
How much cargo space will 4k large hybrid take up?
Look mum, its a 50:1 space difference and you still have an 8:1 advantage in shots fired.
Lets trade if you think its unfair. Your crystals will take 50m3 at the cost of 4k large hybrid ammo, and 4000 rounds of large hybrid ammo will take 1m3 at the cost of one crystal.
It'll be a fun learning experience for you. ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: Avon The problem is, when your ship finally pops, you may only lose a small volume of ammo, but it would be a huge isk loss.
And if 8m (a generous price) for a second set of crystals (which you would only reasonably need if you were NPCing) is a huge isk loss, you really need to rethink your whole 'affording a battleship' thing.
Smaller crystals are cheap enough to be a non-issue. ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: Avon 8mil is a lot to lose in just ammo.
As a drone user looking at the prices for tech2 drones, my sympathy is both overwhelming and sincere. ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: Rafein since it balances lasers vs. the other guns and missiles.
lasers use a **** load of capacitor explain to me how that is balanced! When missile and progectile users use no cap, im all for these changes however make lasers use similar
Actually, lasers barely use more cap then hybrid (or less in some cases).
Oh, and your ships generally have much better base cap too.
Explain how that is balanced? ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: sonofollo Looking at sisi looks like u will get 4000 shots out of each laser cystal (weapons) before they become worn out and need replacing good idea CCP lets have a skill that boosts shots per level by 2-5% though
A good idea for those of us trying to sell laser cystals they will raise demand good call CCP
This only applies to crystals which deteriorate by use alread, like faction crystals and mining crystals. This does not apply to your run of the mill crystals.
The only change done was that they now show how much "hp" they have left until they get destroyed.
And I assume tech2 crystals will decay also. Originally by: Nyxus Now we have all the negatives that balanced out with having to carry ammo PLUS THE HIGHEST PER SHOT COST AND THE HIGHEST USEAGE AS WELL??
Even if tech1 crystals decayed (they dont) this would still be a blatent lie. Look for the per-shot cost calculations. ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: Nyxus Make them repairable and no one will complain anymore.
Nyxus
I bet you wouldnt, because it would COMPLETELY NEGATE THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE CHANGE.
And if you get to repair your crystals, I want to 'repair' my faction ammo when I dock back up to full stacks. Wait - that would be retarded? Shocking. ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: Therin Dracul Sure, just as soon as I can select ANY( instead of the most common 2) damage type, and fire without using capacitor at all.
Sounds like a plan. Lets toss out 10% of your DoT, give you a nice 10s reloading time, and make crystals take... oh, i dont know - 50m3 each.
Yeah. That sounds like fun, right? ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |

Originally by: Tharrn Everyone complaining about uber-lasers: read that post and comprehend it.
And the only change is that you will not have an infinate amount of tech2/faction ammo. Which is something that would upset what is currently a fairly balanced battlefield. ------------------------------------------------ Derailing threads with logic since 1992 |
