[IS Combat] Is the Fragmentation Bomb Launcher fixed in v2.6?

Post by Datalinks » Mon, 3. May 10, 13:24

I really like the idea of flak-like fighter defense weaponry on smaller ships--both on fighters and transports. However, the Fragmentation Bomb Launcher seems broken and useless for any kind of defense in-sector. This applies both to player and AI ships.

Are there any changes to the Fragmentation Bomb Launcher with the v2.6 patch?

Not in the changelog, so I doubt it.

Splash damage is very tricky to balance. I think it'll be virtually impossible to balance the FBL around how much space it can blanket.

However, why not give it more of a shotgun type spread? This way it gets to cover a sizeable area of space, and becomes much more difficult to dodge.

Excellent suggestion. It would be worth something close up. which is how i use it anyway those few times that i use it.

Enhanced Pericles is actualy better close up with 3xFBL than 3xPAC.
