To: PvP Developers | About: 2.00 Balance

[Traxit]

So I did a Google spreadsheet on my favorite Refire rate in Freelancer, 2.00.
The stuff that I found is extremely absurd and am not sure what the Dev team thought when "Balancing" these guns. Some guns are perfectly balanced but some are not at all. Take a look at the spreadsheet

Here's an example.
Look at Buckshots, they inflict 14,400 DPS with 6 guns, while only taking 2676 energy, not to mention that they 650ms, any experienced PvPer knows the difference between 650ms and 600ms in shotguns.

Now look at RAGNAROK, they inflict an estimated 16,500 damage(15,800 with four GOLDENs and two Buckshots), they are also 650ms, but they also take 4260 energy(3732), a whopping 1584(1056)more energy taken for a lousy 2100(1400 with the above loadout)increase in damage?! Why should someone take a CODENAME when they have Buckshots or Reapers Vs available to them and do more damage over time?

Here's some percentages to make it easier for you:
a 37%(28%) increase in energy usage for an increase of 12%(6%) damage?!

Anything inside ( ) is connected to this loadout:
(with four GOLDENs and two Buckshots)

Edit: I forgot to mention that Buckshots/Reapers/Grand Culverins being 650ms and Magma Hammers being 600ms just for a difference of 100/80/50 damage is also absurd.

Generally there is an increase of about ~100 energy per shot for not a significant/justified damage boost.
These are supposed to be Class 9s goddammit, superior than faction guns.
Maybe then paying 25m credits or more will be justified if these guns had the proper stats.

Devs plz fix

(Or at least give a reasonable counter-argument)
