Balance Concerns & Questions 1.1.4
Pickle:
The hwacha is still vulnerable to counter-hwacha fire directed at taking it out, and the Mercury is a valuable counter-battery sniper and should be used to de-fang any Hwacha Goldfish before it can approach. The spread if the hwacha could be further increased to reduce the chances of total devastation - as it is, a lot of the medium-range power comes from using heavy clip to reduce the spread and pack a focussed punch against the target, heavy clip is almost essential with the hwacha.
As it stands, light and medium weapons require the same effort to repair. If light weapons required only 60-70% the effort to repair compared to medium weapons this might tip the balance back to a more neutral position.
Spud Nick:
You can still use your pilot tools to lift out or drop down giving your crew enough time to rebuild the engines.
awkm:
More than one person can rebuild stuff.
Make sure your Captain is coordinating with the other ships on your team. Your own fault for being ganged up on :P If you're alone, it's pretty devastating unless you're really good at hanging back and picking people off. I played an awesome match where all 3 captains on my team were flying in formation and wiping the floor, finding solo ships to pick on. I was a ramming ship and my teammates would help bait ships towards us and then I'd go in for the ram.
The 'C' chat key is valuable.
Either way, I have my eyes on the hwacha but I'm still unconvinced that it needs more nerfing.
The small guns SHOULD be rebuilt faster than medium ones though. Perhaps after the doubling, the gap has been reduced. I'll go test that later.
Ageotas:
Numerically, doubling actually increases the difference between two numbers, so your initial instinct was right @awkm. To be honest I have never noticed a difference in build times between light weapons and heavy weapons, but then again, I spend most of my at the business end of the helm rather than a spanner :P
Pickle:
I raised build times because with about 15 hours on Engineer I've never noticed a difference between Light and Medium weapons when it comes to rebuilding a broken gun (I think there is a slight repair difference).
