All the other weapons have modules (sans Gauss)- regular and pulse lasers.

And the Clan Lasers get modules as well, ERs included.

So whats the reasoning behind not giving the IS ER LL a weapon module?

Only Clans can get such modules AND a targeting computer.

IS is clearly OP on the energy front!

Depriving the IS of a module to increase ERLL range a bit is a highly sophiscated instrument used with surgical precission in the tremendous task of not stopping IS lasers beeing totally OP to the clan ones. :blink:

Are you sure about that? So much oversight and non-oversight, it's hard to tell whichever is the case.

The LL module works with ERLLs.

I might get un-lazy and try it in a little while. I'll report back to this thread when I feel like it.

Pics or it didn't happen.

It's kinda important to actually KNOW if that is the case... and if that IS the case, why aren't SRMs (both IS and Clan) getting said treatment?

No PPC weapon mods either.

Now PPC velocity has been nerfed to hell there is no harm in letting them have weapon mods.

Just tested it, nope the LL mod does not affect the ERLL.

It's either oversight, or the fact that a couple of weeks ago Russ said specifically they want to keep the game within 600m which is why the cERLLAS got nerfed so hard, why PPCs got speed reduced.

It would be kind of backwards to then give the IS ER LLAS another 100m of range and make it a 775m range weapon.

Not that I'm against it, I love my ER LLAS.

But if they do this, they need to un-nerf the cERLLAS from being bad.

They need to do that anyways, so it's a win-win. :)

Russ says a lot of things. It doesn't mean Russ is the optimal goto man for specifics.

wait... they want the game to be 600m or less yet every clan weapon can easily cause damage way over 600m
