Colada del Cid - globalplayer-svk - 10-31-2009
Some time ago stats of this gun were changed. especially the energy drain was bufed up to 280 energy, refire remained 4. damage is 1024/50 shield/hull dmg.
when i asked why was that maked, answer was: because it is bomber weapon, and such things.
but now bombers have their own guns and colada is no longer bomber weapon.
so what about dropping its energy drain down as it was before?
other thing is, that del cid line was the only advantage that corsairs have against their enemy. (before itwas also gb, but now almost all have gb....) and this advantage was removed by specializing colada del cid as bomber weapon, and then giving bombers their own guns.
so now almost all have shieldbusters, bombers have the same weapons, and almost all have all ship classes.
what will compenstate corsairs for loosing this advantage?
or is this slowly turnig whole balance to all have the same ships with the same stats and guns?...
(and yes i am asking about corsair because i play as corsair...)

Well the Tizona was the original gun, with the Colada added to give them access to a level 10 gun.. Tizona is still sync'd with Corsair guns and offers more shield damage (I think). Colada was made to be a bomber gun.. With the new bomber guns being it it has lost its purpose as Global said. Perhaps it could be changed to a bomber gun itself. Same stats as the Bomber EMP Cannon, but with slightly more damage or range, or a lower energy usage.
I'll put a post on dev forums linking to here.

As far as i know the Tizona does less damage than in the original version. About as much as the Colada. Energy-wise, well, the Colada does about 25 % more shield damage while consuming almost twice as much energy than the Tizona. I think this is disproportionate.

Actually i thought about makeing a Eagle with two Tzionas and one Colada, to teach meself to make my shots count in PvP. Could be deadly with Cannonballs and Nukes, but you have to hit, no energy to waste.
But then again, the Titan has lots of power....

I've actually been using the 2 tizonas 1 coloda combo for about a year and a half, and the drain doesn't matter since you only need 2 shots to drop a class 10 fighter shields, and gunboat shields just tend to roll over. All in all pretty fun to play with.

I always using 1 Colada del Sid (before that I use 2 Tizona del Sid, but Colada del Sid take 1 place and have big damage for sheild)
For now it's no so big, but if you fly ship like Titan, you have a lot of energy that you don't need, so I still think that better to use 1 Colada del Sid then 1 Tizona del Sid at Titan.
At Eagle (If he work for Corsairs), I will use Tizona del Sid.

"You must really hate shields";)
Anyway i'd say either tweak it a bit for fighter use ( bit less damage, more efficiency) or make it bomber gun.
