Update:
The above mentioned AutoCannon changes, NARC change and TAG changes will be in the Dec. 18th patch.
Next on Deck:
The PPC/ER-PPC/Large Laser/ER Large Lasers will be investigated with possible heat nerfs..buffs.. (whichever you prefer in terms of LOWERING heat generated by these weapons).
Possible damage buffs may be coming up as well for these weapons.
I've been looking at Machine Guns lately (because they're equipped on my griefer Mech) and decided to make each bullet do 500 damage. :ph34r: Ok.. seriously I'm looking into either a very slight damage increase or to make them crit at a higher rate with a crit damage boost. What does that mean? When you blow off the armor on a component on an enemy Mech, every shot done to internals from a machine gun has a chance of doing much higher damage than normal. I'll be working with the engineers on this and will update you as we progress on this.
Flamers... who hates flamers? I hate flamers... the engineering behind this needs to be reworked to get them to a place where I'm happy with their performance. Again, working with the programmers to get this working and will update when I can.
Stay tuned and I'll let you know of progress made on any of the above.
