well no... i was referring to the relative crapiness of PW and ZT compared to HM, as shown by the vast improvement seen from rhino to HM compared to Lion->PW or EFDN->ZT

Though your point, that any class especially sniper can profit from using the extremely overpowered HM, is apt.

A person going from a Lion to a Poseidon Wave, normally has done something wrong, or has a very special use of ships. I'd rather call it a Lion --> Wattage and Absentis - Poseidon Wave, just to make the gaps a bit more realistic. But I totally agree on the lack of any major improvement when going EFDN --> ZT.
