Huzzah! \o/:D

Early thoughts: Lots of interesting changed THANK YOU for the gamma building changes.  Im on the fence about the "Tuning module rebalancing" idk if i love it or hate it.  early testing shows you can't have a head full of tuners without a recharge nexus and legs full of rechargers.  I love the balance of you have to sacrifice a shield and lwf vs fewer tuners and more suitability.  Testing continues.

nice change on the tuners
its about time

i hope that did include range extender

the changes on gamma are cosmetic though

edit: how does that affect firearm and missile tunings? both weapons hardly consume any energy, a penalty there is kinda meh

edit2:
ok, so firearms and missile tunings increase power consumption by 100%.
for firearms, especially MGs, thats ok.
but for missiles that have a low rate of fire, even with hundreds of tunings i don't think that makes much of a difference

also, what i do find REALLY BS... its the same penalty on ALL tiers, including T2 and prototypes.

30% on lasertunings
50% on magnetic tunings
100% on firearms and missiles

nothing for range-extender, schield tunings but 30% on armor repair tuners?

edit3:
my PVE Seth mk2 emties out in 27seconds (machineguns, 5 prototype tuners)

i think the change is ok.

i am confident DEV Zoom did also up the accumulator consumption of all NPCs that are supposed to have tuners fit.
...
really, i am confident that he did that, if he had to do that manually
really...

Zoom, did you do that?

Seems a bit high on the accum cost might need to half the penalty

Just to get some clarity on this:
Is this intended to be a sort-of stacking penalty?  But instead of reducing the performance of every extra module of the same type, you introduce a base penalty to accum performance?

If that's the case: what about all the other things that need to use the accum?

I agree a stacking penalty will introduce diversity in fits.  It makes the extra module slots of the Seth mk2 not overpower bots with other natural abilities/bonuses.  But why then target the penalty at the accum rather than the performance of the modules themselves?

Also now my symbiont can alpha strike a *** of noralgis out of those plant cycles   Feature?

Ohh really?? Damn those T3 mods observers drop seem pretty OP to me.. Where can I get some of those ?

Time to start getting more follow bot accounts and brush up your multi-boxing skills.

Edit: I take it back. If I had water in my mouth right now it would be all over the keyboard followed by heavy laughter. That is how I feel about the tuning rebalance.

thing i have noticed about tuner patch is seems ok to use accu nexus but makes difficult leg slot fitting for cpu guess we will fiddle some more

In fact I'm a bit mixed. Riveler mk2 with 2 indu tunings you have a bit better bonus as before patch with 5 tunings if I remember numbers right. And with 3 tunings you are definitive far better than before patch, that is fine. BUt yes, now head slot is no longer that important for miner.

And NOra harvesting requires now an external energy transfer bot, but gives double the amount than before patch, so in the end 2 bots doing same as before but require a bit less plants. I like it other will hate it.

I see a lot of interesting changes in the right direction.
But I think for miners we need solution for the fact that at this moment it is more effective to use more tunings and reduce cycle time by downgrading extensions.
That means an agent with less spend EP in mining might be the better miner than a veteran with maxed extensions.

And today you are better using miner modules not at T4 with this patch.

Interesting balance change.
PvE fits now need a bit of a rethink.
What to do with all those head slots on a MK2 Heavy?
