Yeah, thats great... =)

Patch crashed for me. It kept getting stuck on my modded images.

Uninstalling/reinstalling now to see if that fixes the problem.

hahahahahahahahaha

I believe team chat doesn't show people logging on, don't know if that's a feature or a bug.

nerfing emp ray who's brilliant idea was it to to do that? your making it so emp gear is crap when its supposed to be awsome
now it uses assloads more elec and its half the size of my ship total
fuckin brilliant

ill be willing to take all your emp rays off your hands for free

Can we get an ETA on when things are going to stop changing? When you "rebalance" stuff so you dont have to rebalance stuff anymore why just out of the blue change it and fuck everyone up? You do stupid changes like elec and size to peoples weapons, why not just make aug resets infinate if your gonna constantly change stuff it is getting pretty annoying already. I am not trying to be a complainer but when will this sort of stuff end??????

Mine. And if you call a +90 DPS/+60% damage increase a nerf, then I think you are crazy. There are lots of small/energy efficient/low dps radiation weapons, these changes make the emperor ray unique and by far and away the best radiation weapon in the game.

The tweaks/buffs to the Emperor drops was something I did because we were getting a lot of complaints about them, I'm sorry if not everyone likes the changes but I think on the whole the items that were changed are probably worth a lot more now.

But why change it? and also why change jiji what was the point? I dont get it was there something wrong with old stats?

The Jiji barely changed, it gained a little bit of damage and a little bit of size as far as I can tell. The reason seems to be that Jeff minorly tweaked one of the balance formulas that caused a very small shift of stats in a good percentage of the lasers.

They were Broken and needed to be fixed

I mean what the heck!!!!! you ruined it as a SD wep.......... cant use as a MF because of size...... not Sniper because of no range..... seer nope too big...... you took a perfectly good weapon and made it almost useless.... Worth a lot more now???? i mean wtf
