snub powercores

[Zukeenee]

This definitely would overpower LFs. Especially those which can use MRs.
Currently Loki has 8,000u poweroutput, MR takes 6,400u energy per shot.

Do you really want to buff energy of LFs so they can MR even more?

This would only overpower LFs if they were given a stupidly huge buff to their power regeneration. A small buff wouldn't be bad at all. Also, just about every LF has a powercore of 8,000. They could all hypothetically fire a MR, if they could all mount it.



As for the original topic, I'd like to know what weapon setups you have on your VHFs which allow you to fire indefinitely. It seems to me that everything I've ever put on my VHFs will eventually drain the core. Power management is still something to be aware of with all classes of fighters. It's just more of an issue with LFs and HFs.

Should this be changed? I think it couldn't hurt. LFs and HFs are already slightly worse off than VHFs in that they can only mount lower-class weapons. A typical VHF has 2x Class 9s and 4x Class 10s. An HF has 2x Class 8s and 4x Class 9s. A LF has 2x Class 8s and 2x Class 9s. This already makes a significant difference in the damage output of these smaller fighters.

But on top of that, we have powercores that can't even keep up with these lower-class guns in the same way that a VHF's powercore can keep up with its higher-class guns. As far as drawbacks go, this seems rather redundant when smaller fighters are already limited in the class of weapons they can mount.

I think a slight buff to the power regeneration of LFs and/or HFs could be reasonable. Let them fire for just a bit longer, since their damage output is already smaller than that of a VHF.
