Cargo Scanner/Blocker Grid

Dec 05, 2009 Maalik link
if you set the grid to one you could equip it on ship with a widowmaker. the corvus weapon should definitely be able to to paired with a cargo scanner.

addon scanners should also only use 1 grid.

I have no objection to this.

nice suggestion, cuz CS could be used on prom, rev or axia's wraith with gauss mk3 + anhi (11+8)

I would rather see Widowmaker's grid set to 10. FusionBurn was discussing this on 100 and I think it is a good idea. They are really expensive and must be manufactured so the usage is limited enough. Grid 10 is still pretty high but could help get some of them into the game. Making combos, etc. As of now, they are over-nerfed.

Anyway, I also agree with the original Maalik's idea. Scanners/blockers should have grid 1 or 2 max. For example the light storm extender has low grid too.

But, but, but . . . they're perfectly balanced! You can't say they're over-nerfed just because nobody ever bothers to use the pieces of shit.

Nah, I am always forgetting about balance! And we all know that turning good things into pieces of shit does the trick.

/methinks.
A Maalik with A Corvult and 2x Widow makers.

Should we all run?
Dec 14, 2009 Aticephyr link
Alright Kierky... then we shall make a widomaker that goes to 11!

I don't support changing the Widowmaker's grid but this is a separate discussion.
Dec 14, 2009 Impavid link
I think it's very hard to balance a weapon that is so rarely used. Giving the scanners a 1 grid requirement would probably get us using WM more often.

why don't you just make 10 a little louder?

man i wish i could find the xkcd for this

Ok, I think the scanners and blockers should all be 1 now. Assuming the nifty "refresh production objtable" web-button did what it was supposed to.
