Well this is at least slightly better than it was, the nerf is only a touch milder.
You would get less resistance and negativity if
1) Weapon Modules weren't totally awful, providing only the most meager of buffs that actually incur
more heat when using them.
2) You outlined how you were going to revamp all weapon modules so they will no longer awful.
Even if you continue the current progression, add Weapon Mod tiers 3 to 5 I will still
never use any of them because the design is awful.
How are they awful?
> They are too expensive in both Cbills & GXP
> The bonuses are pointless, no one cares about adding 2m range to a weapon.
> They actually add a drawback in the form of more heat, in a game where heat is already an ever present bottle neck.
> All of the modules are too specific, we don't need modules for SRM 2s, and SRM 4s, and SRM 6s. Combine this with Cbill/GXP cost for mind boggling level of investment for the worst possible returns. One for small lasers, one for medium lasers, one for large lasers - are you serious with this?
I try not to be too brutal with reviews of things, but the current system/numbers deserves it.
