lasers for frigates is kinda the lowest damage, i mean to do full damage you need to focus it on enemy. (its way harder to focus this thing on enemies moving rather than using plasma to shot once and then hit or you dont hit even with greater damage,
plasma and kinetic weapons is much better.
why you nerf the laser in the first place, before the dps on laser and plasma was almost equal now its lower…
it makes no kills at all it just might give some assists.
even ION is beast compared to this. i use all other weapons than laser after it was nerfed.
the laser should be way higher dps if you try it out urself on moving fighters its kinda useless maybe if lucky you take out its shields. hah
positron cannon has 200 less range, (idk if thats with implant or not)
and the positron is 1 shot and you get 100 precent damage dealt (mostly). aim with laser in far ranges and you get nothing (also the zoom is kinda useless at times it makes it more sensitive and i dont use much sensitivity on mouse still im the one missing and they are not the ones going too fast)
also it was very nice having new weapons.
get more weapons to choose, maybe a weapon that makes enemy take 10-20 precent increased damage or something in kinetic damage or whatever.
its fun having more weapons but against same damage type. diff types to choose and every weapon has different abilities.
but yea lasers is easy to hit ppl with but its just… ain’t no damage here no. it only works against bigger ships as guards and frigates (but then again lowest dps)
you can hit ppl but often you hit them with half of you’re lasers and you dont hold ur aim on him for more than 1-2 seconds. might be easier for someone to aim than others but using positron cannon is 8000 + projectile speed with my implant and the ammo that gives it +35 precent. it hits fighters easy and then it deals all the damage. if you hit with laser i see somethimes 10-100 dmg if you hold it steady its upp to 500 maybe 1000. enemy also starts moving instantly.
the weapon reveals ur location and if enemy is hit with it they instantly know it and starts doing circles or something.
But the important part comes here, Beam has 6075 base range with Flat Reflector, and you don’t have to aim to hit your enemy. Beam is way more useful than positron for denying beacon captures, and attacking from very long and safe distances, so it has less damage.
Remember that both Positron and Beam deal less damage if the enemy is too far away, Positron does not deal full damage from any distance.
In the past weapon ammo allowed you to deal different kind of damages (Thermal weapons could deal EM, Kinetic could deal Thermal and EM weapons could deal Kinetic) but they were removed.

No, just No.
The Beam Cannon Mechanics are not working like that.
The Beam Cannon is the worst Laser Weapon in the game and it will remains like this until the whole weapon mechanics be rework.

The decreasive dammage is far more important for the beam than for the Positron.

Frigate lasers might do less damage but they sure have a lot of range! The frigate was not meant for assault. It should stay in the rear.
are you saying that beam is bad for denying weapon capture? :lol:
Heavy Blaster would be better than beam cannon. Although the last time I used it I was stealing ESB’s kills somehow. The weapon’s horrible. I only used it because it was purple and I was on an LRF.

Fed guards can use them to some effect, but coils are better for the most part. Unless you want a frig-melting Mauler
