Artemis
Byron Cavendish:
The Gents were using the Hades competitively before anyone else, and have never stopped using it. We implemented as soon as it went live and we were pioneering builds with it in the dev app. That being said, it's great at mid range brawling, but not sustained enough for sniping. Take my word on that. The Mad Hatters have used a triple arti junker/merc double arti mobula against us in practice. It actually works really well, but we want to stick to our junker and galleon. The only reason you saw two junkers on Sunday was because I had a sub co-captain.

Merc arcs are pretty lousy. Too easy for ships to close on a merc boat before the mercs can do enough dmg. You are also heavily limited with mobility while using them which isn't attractive to pilots. You can thank all the whiners who raged at Muse to get mercs nerfed into the ground.

Funny thing is, that nerf was not a single one of the changes proposed in the merc threads complaining. There was a lot of good discussion going on that could have solved the problem without touching anything about the weapon's handling but that was the route chosen seemingly out of thin air.
Crafeksterty:
Like i said, 1 merc is not enough, it needs cooperation with another gun which actually makes the merc balanced. That AND it can disable heavy guns easily.
The Artemis still does the same job almost on the disabling department. But a better because of its AOE.
Also Gilder, do you even remember how the merc was effin OP? The complaint was not targeted at the weapon itself, it basically roflstomped people in pubs... by pubs.

Your asking someone who flew in merc matches and won a tournament with mercs...yeah they were a bit powerful. Then they got nerfed and they were fine. Then they just kept getting nerfed into the state they're in now. This is what happens when people cry OP to Muse. Flames used to be the same way...now its taken most of a year for them to finally recover back to usable again.
Love Muse but man, some of their design changes, "improvements," are just infuriating.
