I don't like this.
Why you may ask, because its dumb that's why.

clearly everyone who has -1 or whatever number they chose has not looked at the bigger picture. Ships such as centaurs can deal more damage then proms while centaurs are supposed to be trade ships. AGTs allow you to just turbo and spam in furballs with near garunteed hits. The more flares you launch the larger your prox fuse because of how far apart they are rendered in space. people like arolte can spam swarms and boost away with impunity and we have super long threads about what is wrong with "pvp" in vo. The ships are fine the problem is certain load outs on certain ships are not fine. which is what this suggestion aims to fix and does a reasonable job at.

All in all the light weapons are the right weight but the heavy weapons are much too light for the game to be considered "balanced"

most of the comments against this so far have been along the lines of "lol this sux" which don't address why it is a bad suggestion or even attempt to rebuff the proposition, so i would ask people to ignore them.

as for alloh I said same type which means all neutron blasters etc which could also be extended to all energy. The reason being I added this is because I did not want to be considered biased towards energy weapons while 10 percent off auto aim would not hurt them too much if some combos are being asked to sacrifice it makes sense.

true, this suggestion may fix the problems with loadouts.

I actually wish we had more complicated weapon ports... something like this:

Centurion

1 Small Weapon Port
1 Missile Weapon Port

Vulture

2 Small Weapon Ports
1 Missle Weapon Port

I don't see how anything outside of a Bus should be limited to a single weapon port. Large weapon ports should be limited to machines that really can't move much so they have a chance to defend themselves.

I can see a missile port being something that accepts any type of small missile system with a 50% ammo reduction. It would be neat to have some variety instead of a single gun making combat very boring for those beginning the game. I've had this feeling since I started...

More customization = good.

There's a lot to expand on in your suggestion, danielkabrinski. Make a new thread?
