| Summary | 0001142: Grenade launchers underpowered when using 'Low" ship count | ||||
| Description | This is just my opinion of course and maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that grenade launchers are underpowered or overpriced (Energy usage wise). At least when using low amount of ships. Thier AoE attack seems to lose all usefulness when up against fewer, stronger ships. When I compare the stats I would just take a bomber or frigate instead every time. The AoE does so little damage (and hardly hits any other ships anyways due to the fact that there are no blobs) that I cant find a reason to justify buying them.. Escp with 1,600 energy usage Again this is just my opinion from a little testing and maybe somebody can tell me what they are good at. But right now I just would rather not use them at all :P As far as flavor goes I think they would be more interesting with really large AoE anyways. This would be harder to balance of course.. But I;m throwing it out there | ||||

I see in the new release that an armor bug for low ship count will be fixed that makes ships takes low damage. I still think that GL will be underpowered (in my opinion) but it may not be as bad in that case |
|
|
That bug halved the damage mostly. So it won't help performance of aoe unit like grenadiers very much. |
|
|
yeah.. but maybe I'll actually see the AoE do some damage at all then :P |

Thoughts from folks now? |
