Rebalance 0.7 planning

[Zarel]

Okay, so let's start the next Rebalance cycle early.

1. First, I think HMG should require APDSB MG Bullets Mk2 instead of just APDSB MG Bullets, and APDSB MG Bullets Mk3 should require HMG.

Machineguns are a bit powerful in the earlygame, so this should alleviate that somewhat. This adjustment shouldn't slow down later-game development, since anything that has either of them as prerequisites has later bottlenecks.

I have to agree that there is too little distance between the early 3 machine guns - especially twin-to-heavy MG so the proposal to place it a little further down the tech line seems reasonable.

Would it be an issue to convert MG weapons into burst-fire weapons (where a single instance is a packet of multiple bullets)?

I second that idea STRONGLY. It's weird to hear a burst sound effect and see a single bullet coming out. :mad;
MRA, Ripple rocket artillery, Seraph and Archangel all fire volleys of rockets/missiles - Perhaps the same method can be used? :rolleyes:

(The bullet PIEs are actually named "tracer", so this is no retcon.)

(Why am I forced to come up with fluff? Isn't this, like, TVR's job or something?)

(I've considered making some weapons burst, but MGs will not be one of them.)

Damn, I've forgot about tracer bullets
It was about 1 AM and I had been working all day

Yeah, he accomplish that role very well - no need for co-worker on this sector

For me, a simple "go making models and stop whining already, Olrox" should be enough xD
