ORIGINAL: Sleeping_Dragon It don't bother me if it better balances the racks and gives them distictivness, especially the SRMs since there's usually no slot advantage to the larger rack. If they were distinct, they wouldn't have same # of missiles per slot for one. There is a slot advantage if you can live with only one ammo slot. Why wouldn't they have the same # of missle per slot? There's more to a missle rack then the missle. Did I say missile rack? I said ammo slot. quote:
The slot advantage is only available IF you drop the number of rounds, the other racks will give you a slot advantage and still keep a similiar number of rounds by using 2 slots and still have a slot left over. That's what I said, yes, IF. As in giving you alternatives. Don't really understand your calculations there. quote:

Some 'similiar' weapons are better then others is certian areas and worse in others, (ie. not all guns of the same caliber have the same characteristics, carry that over to missles.) ??? Every REAL gun that fires a 9mm round don't have identical firing properties. A lot of the time, it's differences with the gun, not the ammo. Not all weapon rack have to have the same to-hit mod. Hmm, you're comparing 9mm weapons, and transposing that to different rack sizes? One of us is not thinking straight. So should MGs (or any other weapon) have variable range rolled for when they're assembled to each different design? To accomodate factory specifications and all that. quote:

Well if you had all LRMs recycle at 15, then heat is your limiting factor, pull off a couple racks, bring your heat back in line, you'll end up with the approximately the same overall damage/sec ratios you started with (since you have faster recycle times) and a bunch of free wieght to use elsewhere for things that don't create heat. No. You'll fire all racks every 15 secs, not some every 15 and some every 27. And you need to have something to spend the tonnage on. And assaults already have everything, maybe some equipment can be slightly improved but a big part of the tonnage will go to waste. Huh? I thought that was what I said, "if you had all LRMs recycle at 15". Yes, and what I said was, you may end up with the same overall dama/sec ratios, but you'll be pumping out fulls volleys every 15 secs instead of distributed over time. 12 secs is a long time. You can get a kill with a full volley. quote:
The tonnage wouldn't have to go to waste, You'd have free slots from the 'missing' missle racks. And probably nothing else to put there? quote:

Decreasing heat drastically (enough to bring the racks inline) Where did this come from? In line with what? Heat is one of the factors that can be adjusted to balance things. If it was solely used to balance the racks the reduction would be pretty dramatic. In line with respect to each other... balanced Did someone ever mention only changing heat? I don't get the point.
