Default Re: Weapon tweaking

Many of the "heavy" weapons are pointless. Acid Globules, High Energy Magnifiers, Tachyon Cannons, etc. Most have the same range but around 1/2 the dmg ratio of the other racial weapons available at the same tech level. Also, Torpedoes are 100% pointless weapons, even with the fixed Emmmissive Armor. At the very least, they should have a to hit bonus of like 20-25%, like they did in SE3. Graviton Hellbores are also completely pointless. They need a lot more research points than APBs, but they have the same range, and about 1/2 the dmg ratio of APBs at almost all ranges except point blank, where it is still lower than APBs.
