Cruiser Balance

[Tenacity]

light mortars are useless on cruisers. They take too much energy, and at that kind of range you cant even hit another cruiser with one. The only target you'll be hitting is a battleship that isnt moving.

you should also keep in mind that maintaining distance from a target is very difficult in a cruiser. Even with your thrusters, you dont have the manuverability to get distance and face your opponent like a gunboat does (with the exception of obvious more agile cruisers, like the kusari destroyer and talarca).

I tried using light mortars on my zoner destroyer when I was using one for aki.kimura for the order... it was ineffective. I do more damage more consistently with a full 9 order cruiser turret setup than I do using -any- of the 'special' weapons (cerbs, razors, infernos, mortars).

Really, all those weapons need to be entirely rebalanced.
