I didn't see any post about this, so I will start a new one..
I want to see QSTs given EMP damage like the ion has(and take away the ion's.. since ugto are the emp faction). When an ion hits hull, all systems go down, however QST rarely does that, and we all know that all the other EMP weapons UGTO generally dont do much EMP damage.

How about no and we simply increase the amount of systems damage dealt by the other EMP and Flux weapons? 
It is a little bit odd that ICs do EMP damage though. Fits the name I suppose.

I still think we need to increase the other ones.. but icc shouldnt have the weapon that does the most EMP damage.. I have been hit by QSTs, IONs and ICs.. IONs do the most system damage, even though ugto is the emp faction.. doesnt make sense.

the big problem i always had with the EMP was that it dealt damage to ALL systems instead of just a few, making it very hard to balance... a ship that takes out an entire fleet is scary... realy scary

Well, I think at least the ion emp should be taken out(or REALLY nerfed) and test emp in 484 since hull values will be higher(dont want emp to kill a ship at 99% hull, but dont want most emp weapons to do nothing like it does now even at 40% hull)

Judging by what we see on the Ion - having a weapon which can do large amounts of EMP and normal damage, is a bad thing. If you couple this on with the QST's AOE range, you pretty much get a slightly smaller, flux wave that can now attack hull and armour very well.
No weapon should be doing large amounts of both damage types, and the Ion will be losing it's EMP damage (if it hasn't already). They are pure damage weapons, and nothing more.
