WBP: further weapon balance suggestions (+ test excel sheets)

Ah, you’re talking specifically about the M-400. Other spacecraft models do not have front pods, hence the lightning shafts would be bunched too close together. I believe that was one of the reasons I made them originate from the ‘rear’ pods (there’s no such thing as ‘front’ and ‘rear’ in the game – it’s just center, near, mid, far, and outside spawn points)

Well in that case the two beams on 6 - 10 should be closer together to that they have a better chance at converging onto a single target. I’ve played with the bombers and their twin bolts and on bombers, they’re pretty much parallel to each other and the two bolts often converge onto a single target, making it much better against tanky enemies than the two diverging bolts on the other ships.

I’d still try to buff lightning by increasing its firerate to 6.25/s so that it packs more DPS, cause it’s in general kinda mediocre in power.

This one is a longstanding issue, but riddler and corn shotgun have pretty extreme recoil which makes waves with limited space way too difficult for bombers. Such a nerf is not even warranted for those two weapons since they’re not exactly the top of the tree in terms of DPS. Can their recoil be reduced in half? It’s that extreme IMO.
