3 seconds is a ROF bonus?
give me a break
to me, if its twice the size, holds twice as much, it should be able to fire twice as fast. that thing should unload light missiles.
and all missile boats of cruiser and bc size that can fire them (and has missile bonuses) should get a bonus for light missiles just the same.
15 second rof vs a 12 sec rof?
oooo thats a lot.
seriously. drop the rof of light missile launcher to about 10 seconds and give all cruisers who get heavy missile bonuses light missile bonuses too so they can use these for anti tackle support. |

the ROF is set by the launcher. how fast it can cool off in between shots without melting.
its a cruiser, it should do cruiser damage with a smaller weapon systems. it should shred smaller targets up too 8k m/s or so.
range it limited by the missile. but damage...its a cruiser weapon.
thats what bothers me about the "dual xxx" turrets. they are taking 2 small weapons or 2 medium weapons and mounting them on the same turret, moving it with cruiser or bs motors (faster tracking) and mounting them on a ship.
on a cruiser, the dual weapons should have the same or better tracking than the small weapon does on a frig. it also should have double ROF since its a "dual weapon system" (2 guns mounted on a platform).
give it 2x the rof which symbolizes one weapon firing, then the other, then back and forth and back...
same range, same damage as small, just better tracking and 2x ROF. as it stand, they have cruiser tracking and a lil bit of rof bonus. it doesnt compare.
example. look at the ma duce (50 cal machine gun). ive seen double mounted (same weapon, just 2 mounted on a platform).
double ROF. ive also seen quad mounted and they spit the rounds out. same range, same damage (only 4 of them).
thats what these systems are and their stats should represent that.
i may not have the range or a 5" cannon, but anything that comes within a mile is shredded.
and we should have gun ships with bonuses to light guns or dual mounted (as they should be, firing small ammo like light missiles). like the vaggy gets the range bonus, what if we put the double small weapons on it. it would have the range of frig (plus fall off bonus), 2x rof and shred small stuff better.
there is such an imbalance now. |
