ya the (4Damage 165mRange 1Ton 2.7Heat) C-SPL is going to be completely useless,
VS the (6Damage 90mRange 0.5Ton 3Heat) C-HSL(assuming your in 90m )

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Assuming those are the stats I would take the HSL pretty much every time and ERSL over the CSPL the other times. I don't really care about micro lasers as they always seemed like a waste. As they are CSPL is a joke of a weapon.

Heavy Small Laser is also 90m range and we still don't know the burn time, but yes, old C.SPL is coming back (in some form) as HSL.

I used a TT stats an example. SPL deals 3 damage on paper. PGI had it at 6 prior to the HSL. They brought the SPL down to less than HSL damage since HSL comes out next month

How many children screamed and quit over this? A surprising amount.

I assume you mean to say here that a there very few people that actually both screamed and quit?
Because that is the standard operating procedure on forums.


Of course, if they give the HSL the same stats as the C-SPL before, it would be strange, since that would suggest the C-SPL was fine, balance-wise.

I personally suspect the HSL will have longer burn times. That mimics the +1 hit penalty reasonably well, just like the short duration and higher rate of fire mimics the concept of pulse lasers having a +2 hit bonus and acting as anti-infantry weapon.

Heavy small laser - heat 3, damage 6.

"Waaahhhh, my 3 damage small pulse laser doesn't deal 6 damage anymore"

I am glad you quit the game over this.

See you in a week when you come back without admitting that you screamed and quit like a child flipping a checkerboard over.

Guess what? HSL comes out next month. Don't pretend you didn't know about it.

I think I said that exactly in another thread about the SPL nerf..

It's only logical they have to make room for the incoming new tech..

Although, in my eyes, the SPL is now completely obsolete.. cose' the CERSL does more damage, has better range, AND weighs only half as much.. the only thing the SPL is superior in is cooldown.. not enough for me to waste extra tonnage on which can be better used as heat sinks..

Case in point.. my 8 x CSPL + 2 x AMS Nova did 48 damage, now my 10 x CERSL + 2 x AMS Nova does 50 damage, and has better heat management and extra AMS ammo. So yeah.. SPL is currently obsolete.
