BTW: Hotfix
- HOTFIX: All UGTO weapons have had a 10% damage increase.
- HOTFIX: All ICC weapons have had a 10% damage reduction.
You do realize this means that the overall point blank burst damage of the EAD has just gone up to over 500,000 pts, while the AD is now at around 261000 +/- ..... (Based on original provided figure of ~~491K and ~~291K in beta)
Nearly 2:1 when head to head.
Way to go at balancing.....

I dont think the change involves Beam damage.
but your right. EAD owned AD befor the change.
Now with armor and weapon change..... yea im not even going to bother testing that.

Hmm. Ok.
But even if it doesn't include beams, I'd still estimate the burst dmg output to be ard 500K to 280k. It's still nearly 2:1. That EAD has a whole crapload of torps.
Now add that 20% & 25% buff to their armor and you know that ICC has just been given the short end of the stick once again. And if they proceed to nerf your shields as originally proposed, it's as good as shoving that stick up yours, where the sun don't shine.
Sorry Devs, it's just IMO. This hotfix? Not cool at all.
You can't just tweak the weapons without adjusting the ships' layouts to compensate. If the ship (in the current purported "weakened" state) already has the most firepower, imagine what it'll be like after the boost.

Locking this thread until people get enough time to test before giving feedback. The comments coming out are beyond stupid at the moment, and so past wrong I'm going to have to invent a new word for it.
