Hello everyone,

I've got SRM 6 weapon module installed and my SRM 6 + Artemis weapons are still showing only 270m range. Any ideas why and does Artemis affect it? Other weapon modules seem to be working fine.

I don't think the module works on + Artemis launchers.

Great, looks like 1.5M C-Bills down the toilet.....

Yikes, a little disclaimer might have been useful in the U.I. for that. Soon ®

Man, talk about an oversight - was considering buying one of these and sticking it on my Artemis SRM 8 4SP, but'll hold off til I see more info and a hotfix.

I just got burned too. I had to buy a new engine just to get Artemis to fit. Oh well, engine options are not really a bad thing and I was mad for running the build without Artemis anyway. I'll shelve the module until they fix it.

I wouldn't recommend buying ANY of the weapon range modules due to ridiculous pricing vs usefulness. Especially because they did the modules on an weapon by weapon basis instead of doing it by type.

Such as "gives lasers a % bonus to range and % increase in heat"

or "Effects all SRM launchers (non-artemis)"

Either way don't buy em.

Either way don't buy em.

AMS, Machine Gun and SRM 4 modules seem to be the only marginally useful weapon modules.

AMS for obvious reasons, - Machine Guns because heat isn't an issue and SRM 4's because unlike SRM 2's they're maybe one rung above dead weight.

SRM 6 module would likewise be almost useful but stock 6's are already too hot...

I'd love the ML range increase too if I had a ML build that wasn't already broiling my balls as is.

And even among those picks, the validity of using up a module slot for some extra meters is an open question that doesn't look great for the range+ family...Another open question is whether or not one can put 'SRM' and 'Useful' together in any context that doesn't involve a punchline.

As for the Artemis issue maybe it was decided that A-SRM's were already 'Too Powerfur!!'.......which makes me wonder what game the devs are playing.

If it makes you feel any better, those c-bills were wasted either way. The range/heat ratio is pretty poor, and the cost/benefit is ludicrous. Been fiddling with the one for AC20 as well, also pretty bad for the cost - even on a weapon with 3x fall-off range.

Can't see them being worth it at the higher tiers either really - maybe for certain players with niche builds which is probably the point. Maybe in the case of ML boats if one could manage the heat, the added engagement range could be useful.

The Range Modules all seemed really Silly TBH. The heat trade off is just too high, but if it got lowered it could be too good. Anyways these modules were just an awful idea and I'm happy they're pretty much DOA.

No it does not make me feel better. I'd buy that module again IF IT WOULD INCLUDE ARTEMIS! Who cares if you can't find any value in 15 or 20 added meters. Sad for the player of your experience though.

The AC/5 one seems reasonable. I use it on my 4X.... or maybe I shouldn't have said that.
