Post Weapons Improvement....or Not.
Ok, I noticed that in the updates box on the main page of the SS site, it says weapons improvement, this is very misleading, when in fact all the weapons have been basically made worse and more power hungry. Sure some of them do more damage, but now they all drain your bank faster. Also, one of my bigger concerns though is that most of the weapons with stages, ie thorax, the higher stages are actually worse than the lower stages. The bronze thorax has a better energy to damage ratio than the gold and the jade. Also the jade, which used to be killer, is not nearly as effective as the golden thorax is. Just because a weapon does more damage per hit, doesn't mean it's better. It's the same way with the immolation type weapons, all of them have the same energy to damage ratio, and the same range, so it actually makes more sense to use the lowest form of the gun, mainly because you'll get more shots out before your energybank dies. I figure that this 'improvement' was meant to help balance this game, but all it has done is make it even more unbalanced. The balancing issus in the last few resets were not with the weapons, but now this new issue has been created. Not to sound rude, but messing things up is a funny way of fixing something. I guess now that I'm finished with my diatribe, my spewings of malcontent, I'll close with this. There is no point in using the higher level weapons anymore, the lower level ones are better.

Its not just weapons.
Check HotFusion to ArcaidianEnergy.
I think all items nead to be reworked so that you get value for teck/mouny.
I gess though that this is more along the lines of every one complaining about makeing the game a bit more like it was in the parst :).

It dose seam a little strange that the game breaks the law of its allways easyer to destroy than construc though.
For a race that have worked out how to make shileds, travel through space and colonies new planets they dont even seam to have weapons as good as we have on this planet now :?.

It's an unwritten rule; if you cannot add something useful to the old thread, don't bump it up. There are exceptions in some cases (like the Trading Forum, for example), but here it's best to not bump things up with spam.
