Yeah, beamers can't really break aegis because they do minor damage er frame over a duration, whereas a Blaster is just WHAM, 17 damage, one frame.

Anyways, I was worriedI was the only one that felt the Sinope was... awkward, heh.

Don't lolno me if you didn't read what I wrote. If the duration that the damage was shortened, and the overall damage increased, yes it would be possible to punch through aegis with 4-5 sinopes. Instead of a beamer that has no chance in hell to break through, 20 or so shock beamers that inflict their damage nearly instantaneously could do the job.

GTFO troll.

Sinope is done wrong IMO. It should have Gatling weapons rather then those shock beamers. For more of "WHAM IN YOUR FACE".

Beams are cool though.

Well, since GDC is over and poor Sean hadn't got any prize, He should be heading home soon and some day start replying what is unanswered.

Bah, I still think BSF is better than half the games there.

But then again BSF is a niche game, and I fit into that niche pretty well...

Yeah, but then in the end all you have is a bigger Zelus, and a Destroyer that takes over the Enyo's niche. Gatling Blasters are just too strong to mass up, IMO, there's a reason the only one in the game is solely on the Hestia.

Give Dieterlings root(2) more range, and twice the recharge time? One large jump requires less micro and makes it easier to get behind enemies or to use as an emergency measure.

Give it crap armor then.

Or, don't give it Gatling Blasters but Gatling Pulse instead...

See: "Then you just end up with a bigger Zelus and a Destroyer that takes over the Enyo's niche".

I'd say the same thing for "giving it crap armor". The Sinope already walks a thin line in the unique-ability market, since hit and run is already done absolutely fabulously by the Zelus.
