Thanks for the link!

Sounds like they are overhauling quite a bit about the combat.

In that case I just hope they manage to stay clear from stuff like that missile weapon combination. It's an issue which was first reported about the time gc3 released and I tried to reraise the issue a few times. It is quite beyond me, how this stayed in for so long.

In general it is not exactly wrong to have the attitude of combat not needing to be sexy-good balanced. Battles will for the most part be won on a strategic level beforehand. But the missile cooldown thing is so beyond the other weapons, it is not even debatable.

See the link in my post (#26) above.

It's even easy in the current game, because you only need to mod one component. Replacing the -50% attack cooldown with a +50% attack damage, might just do the trick actually. But that's not my point. I play with a modded AI I made loosely based on Horemvores. If I thought this was personal preference, I wouldn't argue.

My point is, that I really don't see any good reason why it remained unchanged for all this time. It is obscenely overpowered, it should be easy to fix and it was reported on multiple occasions (in multiple forum threads).

Seeing that weapon and defense modules for starbases need all the resources for all three weapon types, wouldn't it be a better idea to break up those modules into three seperate ones so that you can upgrade all starbase weapons and defenses individually, according to the availabiliy of resources?
