The Cerberus kinetic bonus is not a relic in the same way that the Sacrilege recharge bonus or the Ishtar drone bay bonus were. We talked a lot about the role of damage specific bonuses with the CSM, as they raised the same concerns. Its obvious that the bonus is a bit of a handicap from the perspective of the Cerberus pilot, but we like the gameplay it adds and so we would only want to remove it if the Cerb was really needing more power, which isn't the case.
Knowing what kind of damage your opponent is likely to do is just as interesting as knowing which kind of damage your opponent is likely to be weak to. It lets creates interesting decisions for both the Cerb pilot and the Cerb's opponents and we like that.
Doesn't it take away decisions from the Cerb pilot and add them to the opponent with a net of zero added gameplay? In light of the LR weapon buff not applying to missiles, I disagree that it isn't going to be in need of dps in 1.1. |

Learn how explosion velocity works and how it is really low on HM's preventing "perfectly applied dps" @ 105k on a non-stationary target. |

I think we are reaching a good place here =)
NOBODY is saying the Eagle is fine, please actually read the posts and weigh the feedback instead of doing little more than vote counting. |
