5.2.1.1

[Lord Caedus]

Neither weapon consistently hits anything at 500m. I don't know what backwards method was used to actually test Prim changes but they're absolutely useless to keep a fighter off of you which is clearly the entire point of the weapon now, but they don't actually do enough damage to be a threat. Flaks are way too inconsistent to reliably keep a fighter away and once the fighter is inside of the minimum range of the flak the prims aren't enough of a threat to discourage them from sitting on you. I'd genuinely rather have the previous version of prims back where they move slower (but still fast) but actually do damage to the ship when they hit. I don't care about power core damage because the damage they do because they do is only really noticeable against bombers, which are by far the least relevant snubs.

In short, cruiser prims effectively do nothing and you're genuinely better off just shooting your defense turrets at a snub because you're more likely to hit with them.

honest question, have you ever actually tried to fly a snub at cruiser flaks

Yes, I found them annoying at most. That was against the previous iteration of them too which if I'm not mistaken have been tuned down. Have you actually tried to use cruiser prims and flaks on the live patch, cause if this is what they're meant to be I don't know why we're even bothering to have the things.
