Having finally unlocked Broo...I am in the process of upgrading my lasers & as an all dakka-dakka merchant, multi-cannon aficionado, I'm in new territory here. Hmmm what to choose for a special on my burst laser?...Woah that sounds interesting...increased damage + half converted to kinetic with some jitter.
Take the rep hit & apply! Well, how bad can the 3 deg (it turns out) jitter be? I thought - as SS was constantly pointing out at the time Engineers dropped '...they are an upgrade, after all!'
How bad? Well it makes the effect useless unless hitting a medium/large sized ship from relatively close range! Hence lets clarify this for a moment; here is a great new advantageous weapon feature, with just one downside...you can't actually aim it at anything! I think of those poor souls who opted for the long range option [haha] back in the day when upgrades were laborious! How did this incarnation make it through to the final game - surely FD have to do something with it!??
I would suggest either remove the jitter entirely & reduce the damage output or tone down the jitter to manageable levels, errr perhaps 1 deg?
