Ppc problem not heat, but unable to kill fresh mech (except lucky tripple heavy ppc head shot) and very weak in close combat.

The PPC and Gauss changes are bad.
Do not do this.

PPCs aren't suppose to be a close combat weapon...... These changes make them better burst weapons which the majority people skilled at PPCs would have already been doing.

I know. But many times fast good guy comes to kill me and I have to fight in close.

Could try my EBJ build. 2-3 ER PPCs (your choice) with 6 small pulse laser. I can brawl in that thing and I don't know how many piranhas I have killed thinking I was just another erppc boat

Hey..balance pass for PPC and gauss...maybe the light versions got some love! Light gauss got a damage boost? Hell yes, maybe this will...wait, wtf?!? You *doubled* the cooldown time? Are you insane? The ONLY thing Light Gauss had going for it was rate of fire and now it's over five frikkin' seconds?!?

Man, I defend you guys now and then but seriously wtf...the Light PPC is a head scratcher too. There's barely even a niche for it at the moment, heck, not even sure there's really a niche at all but I like trying to fit it into things...now? All PPC CD's got hit so bad I don't care what the damage is, PPCs are already mildly low dps weapons with high heat. The heat changes are ~ok~ taken along with the cd changes but the cd changes are terrible.

I mean, I'll play this thing with these changes but I already call it "wait warrior online" and jumping up the dead time between weapon shots? Jiminy christmas people...if you wanted to slow play down maybe just say so.

Anybody saying PPCs got hotter:

Their HPS went down more than their DPS.

That being said, I propose lower C/D values for Gauss/PPCs across the board. 6-7 seconds is way too long.
