If they are giving the MG the same DpS as a Small Laser, Give it a Laser's Burst duration and a 2.25cool down. So that it is equal to its 0.5 ton counter part.

Eh, that would be so boring though. The dakkadakkadakka is fun!

You say that like a true Davion! Boring it may be but balance would be much better.

MGs actually dented my atlas, which is why I got pissed you don't register 90% of hits on a spider. Then I switched to my spider and enjoyed "god mode" for a day. While I think MG damage should have stayed where it was, all PGI had to do was fix spiders. Instead they nerfed the MG and took the easy way out. Lazy coders.

Perhaps, but making weapons identical isn't a good way to do it. I think a continuous fire weapon is something that is totally viable to have in game. PGI may have over shot the mark with the previous buff to them but I'm willing to try out today's changes before I start clamoring for more alterations/overhauls.

1 DPS... So on a Jager We can carry 6 for 6 DpS Or 60 DpS in 10 seconds... BUT A Jager 40 is OP???

60DPS in 10 seconds.....

Yeah, I see the issue with MG's. It's your math.

MG DpS is 1
6 MG DpS is 6
6MG firing for 10 seconds 60 Dp10S.

Will it all go to the same place? Nope. Will it all hit? Like Missiles... no it won't. 6 DpS is almost matched by the heaviest weapon in the game, which is crippled by heat for boating 2.

No, 6DPS, for 10 seconds, is still 6DPS.

Which is still 60 damage per 10 seconds...
