On their "fixed" for uprising, there's a small note about "Flaylock and Plasma Cannon not requiring PG" - it says "fixed", but with a note that says "working as intended". Neither is supposed to require any PG (which means the couple of Flaylocks that do are presumably in error).

Plasma Cannon Fitting actually is supposed to reduce CPU (I haven't tried it of course, because leveling into Plasma Cannons at all past a single rank is pointless with rapidly diminishing returns and ADV/PRO models that aren't really better).

I assume the Flaylock was possibly meant to have a CPU reducing optimization skills as well, and either something was miscommunicated - or the text is wrong.

However, the previous poster is spot-on. When all weapons in category were shackled to a single value (Light Weapon Reload, Light Weapon Capacity, etc.), then it sort of made sense that the value wasn't adjustable. It had to apply to a large set of weapons.

However, ever since they were separated piecemeal into skills for specific weapons, this no longer makes sense. If you max rapid reload for Scrambler Pistols (a very expensive skill), you get .375 of a second shaved off the reload time. This is a byproduct of all these percentages and approaches staying the same, regardless of weapon. The ammo skills is another odd one. Maxing Plasma Cannon gives you 1 more round for a crapload of SP.

Ideally, they need to be re-examined and addressed on a case by case basis for each weapon with respect to their viability. As it is, Ammo, Reload, etc. are among the most expensive skills inside weaponry. They are also typically some of the most worthless skills, and that seems like it's an oversight.

Ammo is only a 3x and it is pretty useful,rapid reload saved my life so many times,i think both those skills are great.
