shield busters

[mjolnir]

I own a total of 2 shieldbusters (which proves that they are NOT needed to win.. Some people seem to think they are..:dry:) and they are on a rarely-used ship, so I don't know.. Plus I've never used Debbies (don't like the projectile speed.) I own 2 Tizzys and an Inferno, so shutness.

On a ship with 7 hardpoints they are not really needed yes.. especially when you have the best lvl 9 guns (both 4.00 and 3.03) in the game.
On a ship with 4 harpoints it's something else.

Also how often do you pirate in a single fighter? Never I believe... taking down a 100k shield without any shieldbuster (and with non-outcasts weapons) is close to impossible.

Would you guys like it if I make a balanced set of weaps for each group, based off of the currently existing Del Cids and Debbies? I'll be making changes to Debbies where required, and then making a new Lane Hacker buster. They will all be balanced towards having almost the same damage per energy usage, with different projectile speeds, and the energy usages will be what makes them different. I'll also rebalance the Colada, since all it does is take up a level 10 slot and doesn't produce the amount of damage its energy usage says it should..

As I said I think it's completely unecessary...

I also beg to differ and say that Colada is just fine as it is.. it's very easy to make it uber. Even now bomber with 4 Coladas is a bit uber against other bombers.. not to mention GBs.
