Greetings dev team. I would like to ask you something about the Power Output change affecting some of the most heavy very heavy fighters or in short the: Avenger, Lynx, Templar, Titan and Nephthys.
If we consider the fact all of the heavy VHF's are usually using 15 000 power output, to compensate for their slow maneverability, I would like to know why two from the mentioned above ships are doing an exception? I speak about the Lynx and the Templar. Both of them had 15 000 power output in 4.85 and now they both have 12400.
I know you were probably balancing these two ships, but the Lynx is far more maneverable than the Templar and its power core suits him well, while the Templar is still nearly as equal as the Titan, so 12 400 power output is just not too much.
Here an example of the 5 Heavy VHF's in Sirius. All of them have approximately same stats: gun mounts/ base armor, nanobots, cargo and maneverability but the power output to Lynx and Templar are not matching. (Again I would like to say that if the Lynx had 11-12k max armor, the 12 400 power would be fine)

' Wrote:Neither Templar nor Lynx has had their powercore changed since 4.85.
I have done few tests with standart 4 splitter guns and the energy was fading faster than before 4.86, that is why I opened this topic. Anyway if what you say is really true then thank you for your answer.
p/s: as for the Lynx, you should start testing it, its moving better than others Heavy VHF's
p/s2: I am still wondering why Ioncross says: "Titan Power Generator" to the templar:(
Templar has the same powercore. But some people always claimed that it had other pluses. One of them is tricky hitbox then shot at by guys on the tail. And second - razor placement. But yeah it still imo lacks something. Or power or a bit more speed. Just a bit.
Lynx. Had time to test one only on kusari/gallic event of seperate server. Battle or Taus. Seemed pretty powerful ship as it is with faction guns ofc.

It's just an assumption, but I think that 12k powercore is taken from vanilla fl titan. Or it's just a random name.
