Strahlenwaffen/Beam-Weapons.
Even after all those Updates, the Terran Beam-Laser-Weapons do nearly no dammage.

I mean, other weapons do much more dps, but the Laser-Weapons of the Terrans are more or less like "a hot fart".

It can't be that a Starbase cannot even destroy an L-Ship, because its Shields load up faster that the Terran Base deals dammage.

I am using no mods at all, and i want to know if you also experience the same problem with terran laser-beam weapons.

Thank you!

I know some Terrans who produces blasts that have no need for measurement in Scovilles.

Its their H2SO4 content that does the damage. Since space, apparently, smells of burnt Steak . However, I digress ;)

I'm curious, which weapon is more powerful than the Asgard's Beam?

If we're talking about turrets, they are mostly useful against smaller craft and seem to be intended for that.
For terrans the bolts are they way to go if you want to destroy M or bigger targets.

Thanks for your answers.

Well the thing is, i need to prevent the terrans from dying and loosing one system by another. If i start a new game, and play some days to get enugh money to do whatever..

in the meantime the terrans get attacked by argons or xenons, as i tried to help them vs the xenon, i did see many stations where destroyed, also as i watched a terran base shooting at just 5 xenon ships (S and M ones) they diddnt so much dammage, till the xenon destoyed the turrets and whatever.

The problem is, those terran stations have JUST those laser-beams and nothing else. Its like throwing papers onto enemy ships and thats why they loose so many stations.

Later in the game the Split are dead (killed by xenon) and also the terrans (killed by argons and xenon)

So till i really start to enjoy the game, two races are completely defeated.

ANd i can not get this picture out of my head as the stations shoot with like 20 laser beams onto a little ship and needed like 1 minute to kill it. Ot shooting a bigger Argon ship and couldnt even destoy it till this ship destoyrd the station.

:o(

Terran beams are awesome when applied properly. Yes, they don't do hardly any damage, but the tradeoff is that they almost never miss. A Syn completely outfitted with TER beams is great for drone swarms or keeping a bunch of S/M's off your back while you pummel a station.

They're completely 100% useless against anything bigger than an M class ship, though.
Thanks Daddy Shark, as i said those weapons are not on my ships or stations, they are on the Terran Stations = RIP, Terrans... sooner or later they die everytime.

The developers should add those other weapons to the terran stations and not ONLY laser weapons to prevent then from dying.

Someone told me to use a cheat mod, where i can jump around and kill those xenon ships, but... i can not jump around all the time without doing anything for myself, i mean i am not their babysitter.

Take a L ship, goto a terran station and atack it. the station has no chance.. :o(

Thanks very much for your opinion, i hope they fix this all soon, add better weapons for defense.

Beam turrets may be good to defend against 5 star fighter squadrons, however, these are no game reality (except maybe in one single story mission).

Terrans are not at war with argon by default and usually manage to keep xenons at bay(while also launching interventions elsewhere against them).

Are you running some mods?
@ Mnemon, as i said before i am running no mods.

They are in war with this one argon faction, in Getsu Fune, i guess it was.

Those terran lasers, as you all know, don't deal much dammage.

- Terrans attack a sector, can't win bc of their crappy laser weapons attached to ships.

- Others attack terran Sector, the terrans loose bc of their crappy laserweapons attached to stations.


It is simply not balanced, terrans need better weapons, thats all.

It is like knights and archers from the medieval age attack a 18th century fortress with line infantry and cannons as defense. (So the medieval terrans loose)

And if others attack terrans, it is like 18th century line infantry and cannons attack a medieval castle with archers. (So the 18th century enemies, ARG, XEN, etc. win)
