Weapon balance proposal

[chopper]

Jinx, there are certain problems with "energy efficient" weapons.
First, take Salamanca for example. Yes, it uses less energy, but it hits twice as less then 700 speed weapons.
So, actually, it's not that efficient in real combat as it appears.
Same for disinfectors.

Imagine a gun with 200 speed, 1500 damage and 1 energy usage.
Energy efficiency can't bypass the fact that you can't hit with it.
I agree, if there were any ultra energy efficient weapons which speed is 700, they wouldn't need a damage upgrade.
I guess you meant on Salamanca's/Disinfectors when you said it, so, just to clarify a bit.

Salamanca got a damage upgrade, and it's energy efficiency is slightly decreased, just as you said it should be.
Why? Because Titan has an enormous power capacity, and doesn't really need so energy efficient weapon.
What it really needs is something that hurts.
So, as I said, while Salamanca is slightly more energy efficient then Kraken (in my proposal), it still has 600 speed, so it's still less efficient in reality - then Kraken.
Disinfector got an upgrade from totally different reasons.
It's a Navy weapons, and as I said, my opinion is such that Navy/Military guns should be stronger then they currently are.
Same upgrade goes to both Brettonian guns, both Rheinland guns and both Liberty guns.
So, it really has nothing to do with Salamanca.

Of course, you can make some suggestions about weapons, and I will more then gladly edit my post if they are reasonable.
There's no point for me to keep it as I think it should be, we all need to agree about numbers.
So, people, comment and leave your suggestions.

I agree with your 'range' proposal, but I have no idea if that is possible.
It would make fights against gunboats and bombers better, with more tactics for you to use.
In order for you to hit a fighter from 1200 range, you need a much better speed then 750.
750 works fine up to some 500-600m, on an average fighter.
Closer - better, of course.
But weapons with 1200 range and 600-750 speed could use that range only against bombers/capships

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
