Coral generators are all bad?

[Rodrigo]

Sure they have higher capacity and initial charge after recharge begins, but the i found have horrific rechage delays of 4.12 seconds, using some EN boosters it gets down to 3.92 which is still abysmall, 4 whole seconds waiting for energy bar to start working again is kinda ridiculous, any point in going for these gens that i'm actually missing?

honestly it doesnt recover that much faster and its gimic red.

theres a tread somewhere about that mining ship mission i posted a vid and im using that early game high output gen i was ta;lklking about and you can clearly see how fast my gen recovers. Theres not even an advatage using a coral gen

Post-Recovery EN supply and EN capacity stats are maxed for the Coral generator im using. IB-CO3G: NGI 000

Makes no sense, 2nd coral gen has the highest energy out of all gens

I assure you the numbers aren't wrong. ;p

if you say so. I can find myself quite screwed trying to quick boost over and over again with a coral compared to the early game gen.

there are 2 coral generators. the second one is the good one

No, they are extremely strong and will likely get a nerf, the point of them is to use them till they run dry then they will fully refresh leaving you with only a slight down time.

yeah i have them both. I run out of energy with both of them long before my favorite generic gen. Another example id like to give i posted a no damage vid vs walter a while back and if i had been using a coral gen i would ran out of energy before i couldve done anything but eat a combo

It takes a little getting used to. you have to keep track of how much boost you have and make sure you are at a safe range when you deplete for the recovery. i can do 7 or 8 QB before depleting on the second generator.

probably depends on your build, the coral generator works great on my light weight build

https://youtu.be/pq33S6gl7ko This is one of the main advantage of using a coral gen, that ability to maintain airtime. Also notice how long I can assault boost, that's some pretty extreme mobility. Also, notice that the recharge is pretty fast. Other generators don't have that huge "from depleted to 80%" thing, and can't regen your EN midair because of this.

Also, with other gens, since they rely more on like, over time regeneration, if you overuse it, you'll constantly interrupt the regen, constantly running out for smaller periods of time instead of once in a while for a bit longer.

Since the capacity of the second coral gen is pretty deep, that chunk am regenning is probably 1.5x of your entire gen's capacity.

Though to be fair, it took me a while to get used to coral gens, so I understand your point ? They're better, but also harder to use.

Takes getting used to i completely agree on that. My gripe is that its hype. And that red color is exclusive to corals

yea this is why im able to stay in the air forever on my light weight build. If you have weapons that causes you to stand still to shoot like charged linear rifles, you can stall and let the generator recover.

yeah and assault boost vs quick boost is a whole dif energy consumption. Thats why i run out of energy with them.

i think boosters affect EN consumption for QB and AB not generators.

Then you probably constantly run out of energy with your current gen too, but you feel the effect less because you run out of energy for smaller periods of time, just that you're basically always running out of energy and interrupting its regen. At least, with the coral gen, bursting out your EN is the whole point of having one, so on the long run, you'd be more mobile using one and you're never afraid of interrupting its EN. And well, am looking at the time it takes for it to come back up, I don't think you can fit more than 2 QB in there? It's rather fast for the amount it gives back. ~_~

Just that yeah, you gotta actually be aware of your EN bar to know when you're gonna run out/when you should dump your EN.

That is correct as far as I know. ;p
