CQC Beam laser changed

[SushiCW]

The beam laser is now some sort of heavy pulse thing that seems to be doing even *more* crazy DPS than before. Not sure I'm a fain of the change, but oh well.

Also noticing that the outfitting stats don't all seem accurate. It's claiming, for example, that a regular distributor and an ENG distributor have the same stats on my Imp, and that the only difference between Regular and Overcharged shield is the regen rate. That can't be right.

Saw this earlier myself, and also saw 2 bug reports referencing both things here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=255404 and here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=255400.

The heat beam damage is ridiculous.

Atm, the outfitting stats suggest that the WeaponDistributor is the one-and-only choice. Gave it a try, and while I am not sure about the WEP capacity I was able to boost almost continuously while using the SuperBoostDiverter.

Looks like everyone should run HeatBeam and WeaponDistributor until this is fixed.

I hope that this all will be fixed asap, not cool :S

Yeah I'm definitely going to take a break from CQC while this all gets sorted out (hopefully). Luckily, the main game just became interesting again!

I find the outfitting stats in CQC are all over the place. Power distributors and shields seem wrongly rated in that the figures don't change in accordance with their descriptions half of the time, making it confusing as to which equipment is best for one's needs.

Also, my gaming stats don't seem to update half of the time. The pie charts for wins, draws and losses seem to be stuck. Plus, the percentages for Pilots Federation rank on CQC are about 1% out versus the display in the main game. Also, how come the main stats page, the abbreviated dialog box stats on the main CQC menu, and the CQC stats sub-page in the main game give different decimal rounding-up for the win/loss and kill/death ratios?

It's these little things. And yes, also the big things like that heat laser thing.

wow, can't stop laughing! Never had so much fun slaughtering, didn't even need to bother to pick up the weapon power up.

Totaly love it!

No more seal clubbing, its seal massacre time!


And the eagle got viable again, nice.

The heat beam became so powerful that I have been called a cheater yesterday, probably reported too. And I'm not even that good...
