Chainguns

[Binski]

1) Chainguns weren't removed, they were replaced by Gatling Lasers which are just an objectively better weapon.
2) Since when fire deals more damage to shields? My RPG-senses are confused.
3) Ammo-based Chainguns have not been forgotten. They'll be implemented later on when balance figures it out.

1.Better seems to be a matter of opinion here. They are easier I suppose, they don't have the same feel as the auto cannons. I'd still prefer the bomber chainguns personally.

2.I suppose I more so meant high explosive than incendiary. A little explosion from each bullet would up the damage in general to both hulls and shields.

3. Those chainguns were nice and had a very realistic feel to them. I hope we get some back soon.
