yeah, in my opinion it should not be like this, stuff like that should still generate energy
That’s seems to be a balanced Range…

The range is really big, but you still got even game.
I don’t have close games like this.
you guys know why normal npc laser beams slow my frigate down if hit? normal laser canon? why?

While we are still in the Fleet Upgrade:
The Endeavour / Spiral / Gargoyle / Dart are following a General Rule :
)
With the Previous Fleet Upgrade: Dart, Endeavour and Gargoyle were more or less abandonned by Devs:
With the incoming Fleet Upgrade for Engineer, the Spiral will become “Obsolete”, no doubt on that, compare its Modules “Kit” versus what is coming for “Valor/Phoenix/Polux” (And yes Polux !). Waz’Got already helped eradicate Spiral.

Apply the same for SP ships!
(Also make the Darts engines red and the Gargoyles yellow!  )
Well, the Gun Adapter was introduced back when the “Age of Destroyers” was still a thing, the first guard rework that also introduced the Proximity Mortar and changed the mechanics for the Emergency Shield Boost and the Phase Shield, the Fuse Blaster and the Breach Laser were introduced when Spiral and Endeavour were released, they do technically have 3 unique modules each just like the other ships were supposed to, that is if you exclude the special modules which don’t count towards the limit, some standard ships have them such as Hyena, Styx, but they don’t have 3 unique modules, some have just 1, but you have the premiums which can have all 3, there is one that can’t tough, the Black Death, which can only have one.

Yes, It’s also a Concern that Secret Projects are been abandonned too.
From what I saw :
Ronin has access to “Gun Adapter”
Peregrine has access to “Quantum Defense”
Octopus can die in Hell cause it has access to nothing, not even planned stuff coming with the engineer fleet upgrade.
Kraken can die in Hell cause it has access to nothing
Cyning has access to “Duellist Protocol”
Jaguar can die in Hell cause it has access to nothing (I think)
Caltrop has access to “Repair System Sabotage”
Saw One can die in Hell cause it has access to nothing (I think)

Guards were reworked wayyyyy before this Fleet Upgrade. It’s my fault if “Spectre Field” went from Shield Regen to Shield Resistance (Devs aren’t really liking to face Invincible Inquisitor-S)
Emergency Shield Booster was first reworked at the same time. Pretty much like all the guard’s modules long before this so call Fleet Upgrade to patch 1.2.X

I got both of them the day of their Release.
Fuse and Breach weren’t truely a thing at this moment. Compression Railgun and Overheating Laser were.
My 3 cents on analysis:
#1st block:
#2nd block:
#3rd block:

new frigate modules & weapons are ok
Okay?
1)Plasma Devastator is a Copy of Plasma Harpoon in terms of Firing mechanics and Projectile Size. You can’t hit properly anything which is not a frigate or a Destroyer.
It base speed is ridiculously Low for a non Explosive small hitbox projectile weapon, forcing you to use “Alpha-Inhibitor WPN-F52”, “Acceleration Coil” and “Booster Circuit” if you want to have :
Projectile Speed > Max Range.
The Shield Regeneration Effect is only worth if you are fighting against Jericho Ships, once your target loose its shield, the Regeneration won’t apply anymore making you more vulnerable against Empire and Federation ships.
And you need to land a Critical Hit to proc the Regeneration Effect
The Fragments can be outrunned or sometime won’t deal damage for “Reason”
They are orienting Guards to close range encounter with tons of “Close Effect” modules and passives and drop this weapon from nowhere with 5.5Km BASE RANGE and 1300m/s projectile speed.
48 RPM with a Barrel Rotation mechanic.
How this weapon can be “Ok”?

What kind of Sorcery is this?
the 3 unique modules are imho not a rule, but a limit. the limit ensures premiums dont overuse them.
to be honest rakza, i know u love guards, but next to the gunship the guards seem to have gotten the best modules. i agree the weapons were less useful, but do we really need them anyway?
most of the point you bring up are correct, however a few i have to defend:

Ram Attack, Ship is trying to Ram Target with its Rear Side
you have a mouse, align yourself, and the module works fine. expect to push a button to do the flying for you?
i love that module, and the module loves me.
next to the boarding charger its my favourite new module on guard.
and it is very effective.

i think the point is, that module can either help you with speed, or defend you when you are immobile. imho also a good module.
it’s a situational bonus. i dont see that as something bad.

is not a unique module tho… we had it for a while now.

that weapon is so BS, it outranges frigate weapons.
it might not get the same amount of kills like FB, but a few of them can completely dictate a whole match.
disgusting.

Nah,
The problem is this module should be “Front Line of Sight” and should have an option to Cancel it.
Boarding Charger is nice, no doubt on that.

You really want to trade mobility for a shield resistance when you have weapons that can Burst you from insane Ranges, when most of the game objectives requires mobility.
Hell No, that’s not a fair trade, especially when Devs understood in the past that Guards were lacking mobility and gave a small boost on the Phase Shield.
The time when Frigates were able to slowly move to objectives while not giving a damn is resolved. You have to be mobile if you want your poor 2km range debuff modules to be useful.

Heck Yes.
Why can’t we be able to Laser the crap out of ennemy at 8km while straffing from danger?
Why can’t we be able to Burst the Crap out of ennemy with Ultra-High DPS weapon with no penalty then escape at max speed with an “Ultra-Instinct Removing Debuff” module.
Why can’t we be able to Drain/Burn Energy with a weapon which is not a freakkin Laser with no range?
Why can’t we be able to have a weapon which is following Guard’s Mechanics and not Ship locked like the Compression Railgun?

Why are they not applying this rules to all ships instead of premium only?
Have you seen the “Non-Premium” module distribution?
Anaconda-M → Missile Swarm and Rain Season Transformer → Let allies die and shoot missiles?
Crus-s → Ballistic CodeBreaker and Confrontation Program → Go in for confrontation to proc and Run Away with Ballistic CodeBreaker in a Jericho Guard?
The Inquistor-S is even better : MIRV Launcher + Ballistic Codebreaker + Confrontation Program —> Where is the logic?
