AMC Data

I was recently in my own sandbox trying to disprove these numbers under the new side by side configuration but sadly I cannot dismiss them. With such small number adjust ment I never assumed shifting a 1x1x1 AMC\'s stats would have any effect(that and half the times when I tried it either the 1x1x1 or the 1x2x1 array stats would not change even if %s were shifted). So the target of adjusted cannons isn\'t 38.8 but 72.4,, good god.

Yeah in small numbers 1x1 is just sick... it falls short in larger ships because the range and speed is quite lacking.
AMCs need a good damage nerf all around though.
I think all weapons need an overhaul though, there is no reason that larger should be more damage, range, speed and recharge.
I dunno what the best way to do it but it seems like there needs to be some kind of sliders in place, so you can either have damage or recharge, not both. Instead of big damage but slow firing projectiles we have super fast super firing high damage ones.
Hull needs to protect against AMC as well, either from having 90+ armor, or having AMCs do less damage to hull and be meant for shields only.
Missiles need to not be able to damage blocks behind other ones, right now even if the missile doesn\'t destroy your hardened hull outside, it will still do full damage (but still reduced by the radius falloff) to the inside of the ship... which makes 0 sense.
Hull has no purpose at this time, other than asthetics. It needs to provide a worthwhile defense otherwise its much better to just surround your ship in shields vs hull... since both die just as fast but the shield can at least provide some more damage reduction up front.
