IMO, the pulse laser nerf was not needed. The interceptor missile nerf is also *harsh*.
positron now has 180 RoF witch means police in invasion instantly kill everything,it wasn’t that bad before patch.
Assault Railgun
This is a basic weapon. We decided to make it easier to use and more effective.
TIme to overheating increased from 4 to 6 seconds
Range increased by 7%
Rate of fire increased by 7%
I don’t see any rate of fire increase
I don’t see any rate of fire increase
It is a mistake in the patch notes, it is meant to say projectile speed
How come tackler drones weren’t nerfed in the patch?
Gauss cannon can shoot through metal :01515:
Wait on gauss 12,5% crit chance is all we need <3
You have no idea what you did…
tbh… 
for Phaser nerf

Yes and no 
This creates 2 types of Gauss builds
-
focus on 4+ Charged shots
-
focus on spam single shots and 2-3 charged shots.
And with new gauss, imho, 2d is more effective now, and this is why i don’t like the gauss change due to personal preferences, I liked high alpha rare shots type of thing on it, same reason I like Positrons, now the spam gauss is more effective and feels more like an Assault Railgun to me 
Same for Plasma Gun, I personally don’t like the change because PG builds are now replacing RFB in majority of cases, and making RFB a niche, while before PG was a niche and RFB more of a general case weapon.
Other than that I like all the changes. Horizon effect gotta be tested to judge it though, imho the optimal range buff completely negotiates the dmg penalty, and if anything is a buff to lazer weapon, but combined with lazer nerfs it is evens out well in theory.
I like Positrons
I’m gonna get back to it!
Ions were crazy op, everyone used them in competitive play
Of course, but decrease dmg of ranged Ions by 30% is just too much nerf.
I had 5062m range and about 3850 dps, now it would be 2900 dps with 5km range…

put pulse discharger… 5% less dmg and some energy, but on Spark > who cares, on other you can just go with one of those Rails OP builds
Well again it looks like another roller coaster and now heading on the downward slope of all these changes\nerfs on the pulse lazer and now Horizon module ?
Which begs the question… as this game is supposely out of Beta… why are still changes to weapons and modules that have been around over 1.5 years ?

Pulse laser was reworked twice not much ago.
Same with rails, gauss… almost any weapon in fact.
I don’t like the plasma gun and the gauss changes, but overall, I think the laser weapon and the rail changes are good.
The gauss buff for critical builds is… whoa…
(So essentially you fixed one OP weapon and added 3 more.)
Meanwhile drones are getting pooped like there is no tomorrow; wich is especially nice for all them ceptors who have now less range and less damage. The nerf to the Ion beams is harsh, but all in all a good change. Time to learn other weapons Aces!!! 
Maybe those pedobears lost their incentive to farm t2, that would be wonderful.
Also; im sure all of you disagree but im not a fan of this flatrate nerfing. What about finally fixing the waki AE… all the other ecms are peanuts, just this one is the abomination.
And change t5 queue from fast 3v3 or 4v4 to slower but bigger games.
Sorry if I seem to come across as a bit cynical BUT
We have been using these weapons for quite sometime and the ships since the introduction of the manufactured has not changed much. Yet there still seems to be tinkering going on to reduce the effectiveness of a small group of players who learned how to work these weapons. It then trickles down like a copy cat as then everyone is trying out these weapons.
I scream BLOODY MURDER every time one of those ION beams tears me apart from GAZILLION miles away but it is what it is…
At some point enhancements should be the only change to systems that have been around for period of time… not nerfs.
I don’t see any rate of fire increase
I hate you for having Target Tracking Coprocessor in t3
Good update.
Basic weapons needed the love.
Being mostly an inty. pilot missiles needed to be fixed. I will miss the old missile spam to the eng., but balance was required.
I don’t understand the changes to guasse cannon.
As in I don’t fully comprehend what changed. Not that I don’t agree.
I tried the “new” Plasma Gun and it’s amazing, it feels like the old one. I remember back in the day having Plasma Gun on Gunships and it was really cool. But I fear this will replace the RFB. It’s basically the RFB but with higher range and spread reduction instead of increase.
The new Gauss looks pretty powerful too. But I personally don’t like it. I want a sniper weapon on my fighter: slow fire of rate but very powerful shots with high speed.
I like the changes but one of the things we need in the game is weapon variety. If you make Plasma Gun to be the new RFB and Gauss the new Rails, the game will still look somewhat boring to me.

This. New gauss feels like assault rails but with charges and most likely broken and exploitable critical mechanics.
Plasma gun won’t be the same as RFB. The DPS of the plasma gun is still much lower than the RFB, and the RFB is meant for “burst” damage with the closed spread to open spread, while the plasma gun is different in that way.
I would say the plasma gun should have the spread reduction as it is now, but keeping the old rof.

yeah… about that
Meaning you take supernova with all its downsides on RFB or you take Plasma Gun instead
