well ACs are good.

they deal more damage for less invested EP
they deal it independant on which bot you mount it
they deal it on a lvl4 adv. robotics heavy mech, same ammount as they do on a lvl10 adv. robotics heavy mech.

they are cheaper to build, you get the research from drone kernels, and they need less CPU/Reactor then other weapons.
you can even fit two of them onto an assault

so what so whats not "good" about them?


Those are the pluses, and while i haven't played this game too long, I've noticed as far as small ACs, range is a HUGE issue. your ALWAYS fighting in falloff unless you just go charging into a spawn. and even then with the weight of the ACs, your hindered in actually GETTING there with any decent amount of speed.


TL:DR reminds me too much of blaster boats in EVE

I Connect off a 3G connection, Ping (when everything is working right) hovers around 300MS (in game reading....out of game readings show its lower).
however lately (past couple of days) i get MASSIVE spikes, and it will go to NA for up to 5 seconds at a time. cant tell you how many bots i've lost due to this.
For awhile it was like this just around the main alpha terminals, and given that i usually roam, it didnt bother me too badly. Now i get this EVERYWHERE.
I can play any other MMO i normally play just fine (EVE, and a player run UO server) but when it comes to perpetuum im stuck.
