I tested it yesterday on my Werewolf for 3 hours in multiple snubfights. The energy consumption is far too high, even for the Werewolf's large SHF powercore. No to mention the balance on a Greyhound or Hyena with Sammaels. Or are we supposed to shotgun with those 8.33ers now? Because constant/spray fire is now ineffective.
In .86 the Sammael was perfectly balanced towards the Rogue vessels. Now it's not anymore, and you literally force us to use faster non-Rogue ships in order to compensate this heavy weapon nerf.
Rogue tech was always heavy, large and slow with superior weapons.
Now LN tech is light, small and fast with superior weapons.
Only drawbacks left for the Rogues. And it worked so well in .86. Thanks a lot.
