Is it just me...

and thats the funny thing - in x.83, the PG was 33 refire at 90 damage - making it ~ 2900 dam / second.

in beta 3 we had it at a refire of 16 and a damage of 160 - making it ~ 2500; less damage but when we tested them on ships ( without shields ) - it took 2 purple goddesses 5 seconds to blow up an IMG gunboat. ( we were slightly shocked by that performance )

thats when the PG ( and the other chainguns ) were nerft down. - i don t know why it was more balanced at 90 damage and 33 refire. - i can just guess that the server "swallowed" most of the shots and did not add up the damage done by them; but at 16 refire, the server was able to easily track each projectile down and do damage according to the stats.

i think these weapons are as tough to balance as missiles. lag affects them more than other weapons. - but maybe there is no need for chainguns at all anymore. - in the end, they are but an oddity - and were allways somewhat strange among the faction based weapons, cause they have no real origin, nor any NPCs that would use them.
