LAS-99 Quasar Cannon - Increased recharge time by 5 seconds

This is a nerf right, the time now takes 5 seconds longer to become ready?

~~Yep, that's a huge nerf. I think that's 8 seconds to charge now, which is an eternity in combat.~~

Update, I misinterpreted the notes. Tested in-game and confirmed that the charge-UP time is unchanged, that's still 3 seconds to spin up and fire. The change is to the cool-DOWN, which I believe is now 15 seconds instead of the original 10 seconds. I tested on a normal temperate planet, so I don't know how much hot and cold planets affect this if any.

I'd call this a slight nerf, but a pretty fair one considering the Quasar effectively has infinite ammo.

REcharge, not charge up. Haven't confirmed in-game, but I am FAIRLY sure you misunderstood that one. Keep Diving!

Ohhhh, OK, that makes a ton more sense. I'll test and update my original comment.

No more dropping ships like they are out of style.

[–] CountVon 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ahh, it's not so bad, you can still drop a ship once every 18 seconds.

Good enough then, I'll have to try it out.

Yeah sounds like 3-second charge up is now 8-seconds.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I read this as it now takes 15 seconds to cool down, it still takes 3 seconds to charge and take a shot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Thats what I meant, the time after firing. Basically the cooldown has been increased
