It's a forge gun, it's supposed to do high damage, the issue comes with it's rate of fire where it's putting out a ridiculous amount of shots in a short time, the current charge up time on it is somewhere between 2-2.5 seconds if I remember right, it used to be with maxed skills 1.8 seconds charge up time, they were ridiculously OP back then, they are far far better than they used to be. If people are still finding issue with them (I haven't lately tbh, haven't seen a lot of them) fiddling with the charge up time preserves the damage which a forge gun should have and doesn't make the forge gunners feel persecuted. |

Well why does the 50k isk 10kg forgegun do more damage than a 5 ton railgun thats worth a million isk, it just doesnt make sense, and yes ur saying, but wait the ishykone dose 1600 not 1750 like the rail gun, but then you get complex damage mods and 25% damage form PRO level while the Rail only get 15% dmg increase from hybrid turrets and turret operation skills put together, Now your saying, but wait tanks can do dmg mods too, actually no cuz if we did, we could get soloed by AR's, n u know this sht is true.
That's due to the fact that CCP switched the module and turret costs around so now we have cheap ass modules but ridiculously expensive turrets. And the forge/rail gun balance (while strange I admit) is that forge guns do more damage, but have less range, while rail guns do less damage but have more range. Sadly rendering issues mean that this is somewhat broken right now, |
