The sniping is out of control, I purpose the following changes
Nerf all range extension module from 30% to 15%.
This will bring down bonus range from 75% to 45%.
If 5200 weapon (long range laser) is the longest weapon range, then the max range with these changes will be 7540 meters max sniping range.
this will help balance the game a lot, i am working on math to improve sniping, but at a closer range, and more steady damage out-put. to give a sneak peak, i am investigating the idea of increasing the rate of fire on lasers so that they tick double per second, but at lower rates, so the dps is much higher, but is not killing people in 3-5 seconds.
so instead of taking
500 (1 sec)
500 (2 sec)
500 (3 sec)
500 (4 sec)
500 (5 sec)
it will be something like
200 (1 sec)
200 (1.5 sec)
200 (2 sec)
200 (2.5 sec)
200 (3 sec)
200 (3.5 sec)
200 (4 sec)
200 (4.5 sec)
200 (5 sec)
this will make the laser more stable and dependable. you will find with these changes, that it can out dps shields, but if they dodge, or go behind something then they will regen. much much better way
