Topic: More weapon arcs or higher damage for Feds?

[Red_Green]

Ok well the ROK mod is still WIP. I am making the primary weapon arcs 180 degrees for the Feds. That would seam to fit better with how phasers are portrayed in TNG. Here is an eample of what i could do.

Now the stock Soveriegn has 8 primaries with 30 degree arcs. I could change that to 6 180 dgree arcs.
The loss of arcs is balanced by the increase in arc angles.

Another option is to reduce primary arcs to 4 and increase phaser damage by 33 %

Or leave it with 8 arcs but nerf the damage by 25% to account for the wider arcs. This would be tested for balance and the figures may change some. The big question then is do you guys prefer more arcs with nerfed phasers or less arcs with beefed up phasers?

I will be doing this in the next few days so please give your input soon.

Given the number of Phaser Arrays that are actually on the Sovereign, which is 12 on the stock, 16 on the Nemesis enhanced edition, 8 would be your best bet.

Thanks for the reply. Ok 8 it is or maybe more to better reflect it- 'goes back to drawing boarrd and sharpens pencil'

Fed ships should have larger arcs, not more damage.
