Has anyone noticed that the Dragon-1N is a *terror* now? It gets +50% cooldown on the AC/5; when you add Fast Fire and level 5 cooldown module, it has (depending on how they stack) up to *67%* cooldown improvement. Which, I think, makes it fire nearly as fast as an AC/2, and gives you > 10 DPS sustained until you run out of ammo. I've been doing better than 2 kill / 4 assist / 500 damage in at least half the pug matches I've played in it, and I *suck* normally.
Anyhow, the reason this is particularly important is the incoming drop-deck increase to 250T in the March 3rd patch. 250T makes it possible to drop with 2 TDR + 2 DRG - so 2 x TDR-9S and 2 x DRG-1N if you are so inclined. And if they don't seriously nerf the 1N at the same time, then a deck full of 1Ns would be terrifying even for vat-rats to face.
Just throwing that out there to my fellow Space Vikings. We need all the advantage we can get over the Clans.
Edit: testing in Testing Grounds shows 10 intervals in under 6 seconds, 20 intervals in 11.25 - so with Fast Fire + level 5 model the AC5 cooldown is less that 0.6 seconds. That's the same sustained DPS as 3 AC/20's!
