Rocket vs Bullet in Demo Build.

[Jakalth]

Well, this game is fun to play.  But after a few hours of playing I have found that using bullet based weapons is far outclassed by using rocket based weapons.  Rockets are faster, longer ranged, and easier to hit with then bullets.  But with both bullets and rockets using the same amount of power, there seems to be no reason to use bullets as it stands.

 

Having something that makes bullets stand out a bit would make them more useful in my opinion.  Something as simple as bullet based weapons using less energy then rocket based weapons.  Even if it is 1/2 or even 2/3 as much power, by default, then comparable rocket based weapons, that would give them an edge in efficiency builds.  This way, you can go efficient with bullets and use the saved mass of reduced energy needs for fuel and thrusters, Or go range and power but have to drop some fuel and thrusters with a full rocket build.

 

As for the two emitter weapons, spark and flame...  I have not really played around with them to have an opinion on where they stand compaired to the other two weapon types.
