The Cruiser Drain issue, I think this is like the "fix missle GB's" one back in the days of .84.
Those who want to remove this new, really interesting and RP PROPER, feature from this mod are wrong.
Don't get my wrong, I use only one ship, more then I do all others, my Osiris Battleship. And it takes, around 20 seconds to fire a shot, after I was cruised and even then it takes more time to actually have enough to fire heavier weapons. But that is alright, because it's justified and makes for great RP and better PvP. The reason for the latter one is rather simple. You no longer can cruise right next to your unsuspecting victim, with your BS and simply plow right through him, because he has little time to react. Now it takes some planning before you can engage in a successful capital ship fight and what ever needs planning, requires skill.
The same may not go for fighters, because they replenish the energy lost in merely seconds. I really don't understand why people even complain about them.
Now, the issue with the LF is quite similar to the one concerning the VHF one. It replenishes energy even faster and has weapons which don't really require that much energy to fire to begin with. I don't really see the problem.
