2 Grid PCB

Same stats but with only half the drain power. Designed for use with a CUP or CWM.

I like the idea of having weops that make peoy work together. A person on a hound or ec-107 working with one or two people can do wonders.

I like the idea of people flying in 2 moths, each get 100cu.
Ignore all the problems that come with it like 150cu items.
And also make it so the pilot of a cap ship can't use the turrets and only other Gunners can use them.

Just because there are other people in the game doesn't mean solo gameplay shouldn't be possible.

I'm going to +1 this because we should keep the realistic expectation that this is a low population game. If we get to the point where we have too many people hunting with PCBs and weapons then we can revisit it at that time but the current reality is that the state of unlimited spammable capship missiles means there is a limited duration to how long somebody can hold a ship hostage and it's not unreasonable to expect a hunting ship to also be able to defend itself or deal enough damage to take advantage of a vessel crippled by a PCB.

The PCB + Widowmaker is a natural combination that should be a viable loadout and will open up a new loadout combination that gives people another tool in their arsenal.

Reason shines through!

I'm not going to lie, I like the idea of flying around in a hound with a PCB and a CWM or CUP. But it would be waaaay OP. I really think the CWM and the CUP should both be slightly buffed, however. But the PCB should stay at the grid it is. It isn't so far-fetched to imagine that something with the power to drain another ship's battery would itself require significant grid to operate.

And I promise. You really don't want me running around out there with a PCB/CWM hound. Or Valk with 2PCB and a CWM.

It isn't overpowered at all, PCBs don't do any damage at all and two neuts2 have both more DPS and DPE. And if you use a single neut2 and PCB you still have good DPS ane better DPE. This is primarily designed for the CUP since it's lack of DPS makes it too easy to escape from. So in fact it's quite the opposite and would balance things.

"Or Valk with 2PCB and a CWM."
That would requiree 22 grid.
