So just a quick question-

[Arachne]

I know TiTS is set in the dazzling spacey future, I also realize it is in alpha, so I'll keep this short.


Are Ranged/Melee weapons going to be energy based more often than kinetic? So far it definitely seems that way according to what "end game" stuff we have available. 

 

[Woider]

Based on current class perks, I would assume Kinetic and Energy weapons will be balanced later on. Though I also assume Kinetic weapons will feature more Railguns than conventional weaponry later on.

Had you asked this question sometime earlier*, the "end game" stuff would have seemed to be obviously in favour of kinetic weaponry. As Woider says, unless there's going to be a revamp on the basic design behind class-based perks, one should assume that the two styles of weapons are supposed to be balanced, as mercenaries and tech specialists are supposed to be balanced.


*At basically any point of the development cycle prior to Emmy.

I Suspect so or plasma weapons might come into play. Hopefully they will be balance in the future.

As a tech specialist I want an Energy/Kinetic weapon type. Railguns sound like they'd fit under that description. Doubt i'd be able to use Volley with it, but Overcharge + A railgun sounds like a delicious idea. As much as I like technology expertise, I am more of a kinetic kill kind of goo. Pew pew.
