Ok... What if reduce damage to 300/600/900 and keep rest proposed stats/abilities unchanged?

[quote] I can't help but laugh here, sorry. Just a second ago the "real scenario" was fleet vs fleet, and now you bring a 1v1 as an argument? Just as I said, you keep picking up situations from the sky to help your arguments without any coherence. And the DPS of a level 10 Kortul with 3/3 PS is enough to max shield mitigation on a lvl 10 cap, but not yield much more than that.[/quote] Fleet vs Fleet still desn't mean FF vs FF.

It justify both lower cost of combat abilities(remember of lower AM reserves and regeneration) and combat abilities being slightly stonger t

Volt, why do you think people in other countries are different? BTW. Starhips should have something like "reverse engines". IThey are not naval ships, they are not forced to run circls to change direction they move.

It is not HUGE but is SIGNIFICANT. And it is only part of effect doing 400/800/1200 damage, ignoring Shield Mitigation and interruption target...

I know balance>lore, but it doesn;t mean we should completely screw lore. If it possible, lore should be supported (making game as lore-connected as possible). In this case (GRG buff) it is possible, no reason of screwing lore here. Anyway, one-time SM drop will help all nearby unit doing more damage. It work like kind of debuff, but is negated by weapon fire, not time. Droping enemy SM by 30% in middle of battle hurt as hell. BTW, Kortul & Power Surge &n

Not really. It is my personal "problem". Whenever I start writing posts I see people from Poland. Polish people are so active community every game I played. I didn't know that before. Why "sad"? Because I had feeleing "omg another Guy from Poland". So it is not really sad. It is funny. By the way... what doeas it mean: "It is a fouled up country led by fouled up people trying to keep a fouled up Nation from stealing their own shoes from themselves." ?

I don't like idea of GRG giving permanent debuff. Lore-wise GRG is projectile from weapon making direct hit, not Damage_over_time or any kind of time-consuming effect. Everything GRG do should happen in moment of hit. Thats why in this case diect damage>Damage over time, shield mitigation one time drop > debuff and thats why interupt fit this concept of weapon. It is kind of RAIL GUN, weapon firing magnetic-accelerated high speed high energy bullets, not "magic bolt of energy doing rand

After Kortul front weapons DPS increase Power Surge Bonus will be significantly better then minimal. And don't forget PS is increasing DS triggering chance.

ok with 60 AM and 20s recharge (3.0 AM/s)? Anything above it will not work. So: 60 AM cost 20s recharge 400/800/1200 Damage ignoring (and not increasing) Shield mitigation 10%/20%/30% Shield Mitigation drop on Hit Interrupt

[quote]GRG Option 1: Damage and AM costs are kept the same, but it reduces shield mitigation by 10%/15%/20% for 20 seconds (the effect does not stack) with a 30 second cooldown. This yields 2.5 AM/s which is better and also an effect.[/quote] With Finest Hour and Flak Burst buff from my list it can work too... If more people support this idea I can replace my idea by yours one. But IMO this GRG is still up... [quote]GRG Option

With your buff idea GRG still cost more then ALL Kortul abilities (5 AM/s to 4.66 AM/s)... And I don't think Kol is going to survive this battle. [quote]Power Surge's offensive bonus is minimal, whatever anyone says.[/quote] 75% DPS buff (affected by both upgrades and leveling) is not "minimal". And don't forget of 25/35/45 shield restoration per second... Because GRG after your idea will do full 550 DMG/10s (ignoring shield mitigation) it mean effective DPS vs Kortul will be.

Kol don't have enough antimatter to support so expensive Railguns. Before we rebalance GRG into ANY direction we must fix their AM problems first. ATM Railguns cost 12.5 AM/s - it is insane value. With my change (from list) they cost only 2.5 AM/s - much better, because player is no longer forced to disable them just to use AFF time to time... But it is still relatively high cost. N3rull, with your change GRG cost 5 AM/s -nobody will use it because there is still not e
