Digitizer Plasma Torpedos

voelligegal

Hi, I tried the new Digitizer Plasma Torpedos and like the optics. So I equiped a ship with only Digitizer and Plasma Torpedos.
Then I learned that you can only fire 1 Digitizer Torpedo at a time because all Launcher share the min Cooldown.

I would here by ask if the shared Cooldown of these Weapons could be take out of the game. The weapon it self has a lot of drawbacks anyway here a list of them.
- They fire only every 30 sec.
- They are very slow.
- They are easily shot down.
- They inflict self Damage if you are near the target.

I now of no other weapon that has so many drawbacks. Even if you have a ship with only Digitizer Torpedos you can never fire more than two of the Launcher because of the cooldown.

Please let us have fun with this weapon.
Because I simply looks cool to shot them

There was a stealth patch to nerf these already terrible torpedoes. Clearly the 1% plasma damage they did compared to normal Plasma torpedoes was too high so they have been nerfed down from 1% to 0.2% plasma damage. Its pretty frustrating for those that upgraded 4 torpedoes to get stealth nerfed to only being allowed 2 Digitizer Plasma Torpedos.

Its worse that its a stealth nerf with no patch notes. What about those that spent resources upgrading to Epic level? Why the nerf instead of fixing the plasma procs?

@pottsey5g:
Interesting to know, to bad I did not had the chance get too try out the Original ones. I upgraded them to to Epic and after meeting the Problem upraded a Tricobalt too, so I could test out how they work together. Sadly Tricobalt have the same Problem and share the minimum CD.

@the Patch Team:
Thank you for reading our Comments and responding too them in the Patch Notes.

Patch Notes:
Digitizer Torpedo currently has the long torpedo cooldown, we intend to exempt it since the issue where it lacked the cooldown opened healthy build paths.

Thats sounds very promissing I hope you will give the Tricobalt Torpedos a look too, because they suffer from the same Issue. In the past that has stopped them from getting more than a tiny corner in any Build I have ever known.
