Are these bugs, or working as intended?

I have just started using Antiproton weapons, because with the release of Seaseon 9, they are now doing more damage on crits with my build. They didn't do that before with my build for some reason. However, I have noticed that my Antiprotons are using more weapons power than my Polarons, and Plasma weapons of the same type. (For example: comparing beam arrays with beam array, not cannons).

On my Brean Raider, I can fire all 6 Polaron beam arrays and my weapons power only drops to about 100-110. This is just firing my weapons with no skills active. When I fire all 6 Antiprotons, my weapons power drops to about 60-70. Are the Antiprotons suppose to use more power than listed, or should it be the same? I am not sure if there was a trade-in added to the game because they don't have a proc.

Also, I am only using regular Polarons, and Antiprotons. No special ones.

Another thing I have noticed, that I am not sure if it is suppose to happen, is that in the Vortex, Donatra will instantly fire the Thaleron attack as soon as she comes out of cloak if she has Crippling Fire on her. Is this a bug, or is that a defensive attack she has because of it? Also, Viral Matrix is still doing it, and I think someone told me before that it was a bug, that is why I am asking about this also.

If anyone can help me with this, it will be appreciated.

    I really dont know cuz i dont use antiproton weapons, but you can look at the weapon description and see how much weapon power it drains from your weapons.

    According to the weapon descriptions, they both should use the same amount. Since they don't, I was wondering if there was a bug, or they changed it for Antiprotons without putting it in the notes.

    Only use Voth antiproton weapons and they drop to 80 or 90 and climb pretty fast back to 125 so I have no Idea but it works well for me...

    Should drain the same...are you sure you don't have the omega weapon amplifier proc on or some other drain resist mechanic?

    Both are bugs for donatra
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    I do have Omega Groveton Amplifier set, but it shouldn't affect that. It says that it should only allow shield bypass, but doesn't affect my weapons power.

    Plus, I ran a test with no traits active, and no BOFFs. I get the same results. Antiproton weapons are using about 1.5 times the weapons power when fired. I also have a few friends that have the same problem also.
