can we have some weapons with more sensible (lower) power requirements that are closer to the natural weapons of the hosting factions gun set.
4.00 for bretonia, 4.00 for outcast, 8.33 for kusari, 8.33 for liberty 2.00/5.00 for rheinland etc.
they should be similar to their host counterparts, be less powerful but have a vast increase in speed (950ms)
I would also like to ask for Light fighter Debilitators, they should be the same strength as VHF class 9/8 debs, but again with a big boost in speed. to accentuate their basis as a support ship rather than a glass cannon maximum lulz dps ship that seemed was only done because nobody really cares about the balance of this ship type.
the 6.67 and 8.33 LF guns just eat far far far too much energy for a spray and pray type weapons without debilitation for back up, they were perfect before they got massively nerfed and their power requirement was doubled (why the heck).
they were as effective as the 1.00 fire guns but for a different combat situation, 1.00 fires were more of a dueling weapon and 8.33 more for group chase fire weapon, the 6.67's are just and have always been AWFUL, and the EPS is so high now that its 1.00 fire or nothing (or 2.00 fire if you have them instead).
I tried to use the 6.67 guns, because they were horrible and i looked at the stats like "they cant be that bad" and holy cow you just have no core whatsoever the entire time you have them, I had to dock on the nearest lane hacker base in galileo and mount some liberty 1.00 fire weapons which nerfed me to 75% and i still did a million times more damage with them than the 6.67 guns previously.
So, i think the only thing LF guns need over the rest of the guns is a speed increase.
Can we seriously take a look at these weapons and do something properly on this subject please? PLEASE? i beg you.
I don' know...I kind of like the LF shot guns >_>
I really like the 2.00 ones...but yeah it would be more fun if there were LF debs...or just more to choose from (look at how many guns the VHF/HF ships get next to the LFs)
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I SAID, IT MATTERS WHAT I MEANT!!!!
Jesus, I thought you were exaggerating but these rapid-fire guns are horrible for energy use.
I'd like some more variety in LF guns, but I like the high damage. Makes them actualy viable for killing bombers in a reasonable timeframe. My only issue's that it makes heavy fighters largely pointless.

at the end the cat eat eat this animal? or give him a bisou?
i think that to kill a liner the LF is not enough strong himself.
the LF powercore is very interesting!
it is very Waaaoh!
Wat.
And in Order to kill a liner, with current balance, even two bombers might not cut it.
Anyway, I think that some shield killers for LFs might be nice, themed as the current LF guns. Make each gun type (like Liberty, Bretonia, Corsair etc) have two variants - 1.00 and 2.00 to give some freedom of choice to people, too.

i dont know again these 1.00 refire again, but if i see that, why not to try.

Eh. With those LF cores, you can't make the guns more efficient. They're intentionally very inefficient to offset the fact that their cores recharge almost twice as quickly as a VHF core.
And please, please, please, no 950 m/s guns.
The 850 m/s ones are already stupid and impossible to dodge if aimed well. We really don't need to make LFs even more overpowered than they are.
Or at least nerf the Liberator/Hayabusa/Wyrm/Tanto to a lower class shield and about half the bots and bats they currently have BEFORE any changes occur to LF guns.
Just get some dabs for them and they'll be good. At least I can take down someone's shield and nuke them to hell.
Until then, HF's
