Summary0002343: Spirecraft Implosion Artillery does too little damage
DescriptionWhat the title says. I mean, the Mk. V version does a measly 4% of the target's current HP. Even against huge HP targets, many other Mk. V or even Mk. IV ships will out DPS it. And that is the Mk. V version, the lower Mk. versions are even more pathetic in terms of damage output.

Their only redeeming factor right now is their range and armor piercing, but that only ensures that they will be able to deliver their puny payload in full. But that payload is not worth the resources and the asteroid used to build it.

I know that REALLY high HP targets can cause the implosion artillery to do the best DPS, but that HP has to be UNREASONABLY high for implosions to start being worth it. Very rarely does that situation come up, and certainly not often enough to be worth the cost.

* Given the low percentage of damage dealt per shot, the spirecraft implosion artillery recharge time has dropped from 6 seconds to 1 second, making them a lot more powerful and attractive.

That does take care of the issue in a slightly different way. Thanks. :)
