"I'd nerf cannons but cant do that because people will cry on the forums so Ill buff beams" .
here is your Geko Game Design...probably the only person who never got in game to see how it looks lol so dont wonder why the game is how it is.
If I were in management at Cryptic, I'd put a gag order on Geko. Nope, no I wouldn't. I'd replace him with someone who wasn't openly hostile towards any part of the game's playerbase.

Devs talking about nerfing and buffing is rubbish. What I want to her from a dev is "we're looking to balance the game so that ALL abilities are viable, thus maximising the number of competative builds to make the game as interesting as it can possibly be." Hearing anything other than this sounds like blah blah blah.
Give it a season or two they will remove cannons or increase their firing arc so any Kirk can use them.
just don't know how anyone can be so clueless about their own creation... they must have high turnover, nothing is documented, and the knowledge goes out the revolving door or something.. all I can figure.

hey beams should do more damage ...not only better firing arc but also better are greater distance than dhc which work best at close range.Like I said 1 kirk should be able to kill 4-5 escorts by fawing and a2b tech doffs should exist on all ships...

this BS insults logic .
but with the speed now in the game.. who can stay close to fire cannons.. and with the speed in this game, who can really keep their nose on a ship like they used to to fire cannons... beams are a no-brainer.. don't even have to aim your ship at your target and they do more damage.. not to mention.. even have beam specific accurracy consoles.
yeah.. like i said.. I have beams on my b'rel now and I dem3/weapon cap, bleed through shields and take them down fast.
uh huh.. yeah WTG cryptic... brilliant!

Lol BO got nerfed. Another 13%. What's that like 38 or 40!% now ? ......yeah your vape. Is back where it was maybe even less so now
Crit gives 50% bonus minimum (before any additional CritD is added on), so no the floor is higher than it was before.
edit--should do some math I guess, 50% bonus on a value that has been reduced by 35% is negative territory. Assume a starting value of 100 so base is now (100-35)=65, minimum critd buff of 50% results in (65*1.5)=97.5... yes base damage is less than before.

makes a whole lotta sense doesn't it? you crit 100% of the time with no power drain and break the laws of physics, but base power has been nerfed so much that there is no benefit to it anymore.. should have just left it alone. they gonna do this with all vaping abilities like proton barrage as well?

Scotty couldn't change the laws of physics, guess he should have just asked Geko.

That is why I have beams on my b'rel now and make sure that my b'rel beams rips cruisers to shreds. I can adapt to crypticverse
completely stupid isn't it.. beams on something that should have cannons because of Geko's "brilliant" decision?
Yeah.. WTG cryptic!!!

My guess is that they're going to do something that's exceptionally stupid and don't want to give us any lead time.
