Im at work so i cant exactely quote it, but "-10 power(energy) when used with another weapon" any1 knows what does it mean? "another" stands for turret/beam/mine/torp or tetryon/plasma/disrupter ect. Im so confused lol

    Additional -10 drain to power when a different wep is firing at the same time, they want us to use weps individually instead of headbanging the space bar..
    Thats my take on it..

    That is incorrect. The weapons always had a power drain beyond the first weapon fired. Other then some tweeking of the amounts the only difference is it is now displayed in the tooltip.

    With only 1 eps I can sustain 4 beams on a broad side without running my weapon power into the ground. Its not about getting the maximum amount of weapons to fire, you will only reduce your overall dps that way. Instead build your load out so that the weapons you have lined up on your target will fire for the best damage as possible for the longest duration possible.

    That is suicide in PvP and grossly a waste of potential dps in PvE. Cruisers, for example, have 8 weapons slots not because you want all 8 firing at once, but because it can defend its self from any direction. You will get more damage firing less weapons for max power then all weapons at reduced power.
