NPCs are damn too strong.

[Syrus]

Cerbies are the least powercore-unfriendly weapons on the heavy turret repertoire. I explicitly didn't put mortars on them to prevent them from being too overpowered. 4.85 Isis-esque NPCs would make for more tears. Players tend to be able to fire their Cerbies all out as well.

Just - their Cerberus turrets, yes. But NPCs fire ALL their weapons all the time. Them having Ceberus turrets almost doubles their overall damage output.

With average normal turrets and an average missile on a heavy cruiser with 12 guns (4 heavy, 8 normal; a cruiser with less normal guns would be impacted even more by having Cerbs):

Code:

6 Normal     5'000 * 6 = 30'000
2 Pulse        800 * 2 =  1'600

2 Cerberus  18'500 * 2 = 37'000
1 Missile   15'000 * 1 = 15'000 (ammo based?!)
1 Shock Ray  9'750 * 1 =  9'750

The same pretty much also goes for BCs and BS.

EDIT:
Also... light mortar on infinite core wise...
Blood Dragon Cruiser NPCs (and LSC NPCs? Haven't fought them lately).

- Cap loadouts left intact. Where there's enemy caps, you shouldn't be unless you expect a fight.

Tell that to the Caps which shouldn't be, where you should be...?
