The only brokeness for flares is the tri flare....a simple bump in grid power would fix it.

The only other fix would be to make flares drain the batteries like everything else does.

But flares in general are not really broken so

Lets not waste the devs time trying to balance the weapons when there is so much more important things to do.

-1

-1 to need for grid balance; the mass and ammo limits are sufficient foils to the weapon's potential.

-1 to energy use.

Also -1 to energy use. Rockets that use energy suck.
