1 parasite from HG gun can do 14k+ damage
I have been shot with a 3 shot multiple times.

any sustained stacking parasitic attack should do more dps


And That 14k+ damage was under 20 seconds... because it doesnt stack, if it stacked it'd be the most OP weapon in game after lincins.
with 3 shot i do over 16k Parasite damage per second

I've hit over 30k dps in fires alone with a 3 shot. not including the damage of the shots themselves. whereas my HGS does about 1.5k max.

Wouldn't it be, if it stacked, 16k damage from one parasite that second, then 32k damage from 2 parasites for that second, then 48k damage, and so on until the decay matches the ROF?

I have a strange feeling your trying to lobby for it while your arguments may not hold water. Weird that the hot glue gun is IN YOUR AVVY. If your three shot is so much better, why isnt it your icon weapon.
and if it is so shitty, why not open it up to light fighter?

Right, but it doesn't stack.

3shot is a raather irrelevant example this discussion pertains to things with a low shield bank, a shield bank that for a seer is often so low that 1 hit from an HGGS will end it with 1 parasite.

To do that with one shot from one easily spammable weapon is in fact quite broken. To get that kind of parasite damage from a 3 shot you have to somehow get constant DPS on said seer without killing it long enough for the parasites to build up, in other words; it's much harder to kill a seer with a three shot parasite as 1 shot will not kill them and the parasite sure as hell won't finish them. For the Sprayer though, 1 shot with 1 parasite is all it takes, and even with a Fire Extinguisher the seer is still probably dead.

Bad gets worse when you factor in that a sniper with one of these can target his/her own ship of tractored debris nd start firing it to make a wall around themselves in every direction saturated with enough DPS to kill virtually any player that comes within it.

TL:DR; Sniper gets an instant win card against seers in the form of the HGGS, and it takes no skill other than the abilty to point the mouse at a debris and press the spacebar.

HTH and HGGS seem more like Seer weapons than they do Sniper...
Sniper is RoF based, Seer is hit and run.
