personally i feel the damage should be increased to at least 6,
as it would fit with the current stats of the C-ERSL & C-ERLL,
Currently all Clan Lasers saw reductions in Damage,
but for now im only ganna focus on the C-ERML damage output,
-
First looking at how much each Clan ER Laser lost in damage,
(C-ERLL 11damage down to 10damage, 9% loss in damage)
(C-ERML 7damage down to 5.25damage, 25% loss in damage)
(C-ERSL 5damage down to 4.4damage, 12% loss in damage)
-
as you can see the C-ERML lost 25% of its damage,
now if we increase the Damage to 6 it would be more in line with the others,
(C-ERML 7damage down to 6damage, 14% loss in damage)
Current PTS Medium Laser Stats
Weapon......Damage......Heat......Cooldown......Range......Duration...
ML.................5.00...........3.40...........3.50.............270...........0.90.......
ERML............5.00...........4.50...........4.00.............360...........0.90.......
C-ERML........5.25...........5.70...........4.00.............400...........1.25.......
increasing the Damage to 6 would bring the C-ERML better in line with the IS-ML,
but also allow it to stay distinct from its IS counterparts as Different but Equal,
i would also support normalizing the Durations between IS & Clan,
as so both IS and Clan Lasers have the same Damage per Tic(STD, ER, & Pulse)
(Damage/Tic = Time / Damage)(IS-LL= 1.10Duration / 9Dam = 0.12 Sec per 1Dam)
-
Large Class Lasers 0.12 Damage/Tic(IS 9Dam=1.10)(Clan 10Dam=1.22)
Medium Class Lasers 0.18 Damage/Tic(IS 5Dam=0.90)(Clan 6Dam=1.08)
Small Class Lasers 0.23 Damage/Tic(IS 3.25Dam=0.75)(Clan 4.4Dam=1.01)
