This has been broken since launch and A LOT of people are waiting for it to be fixed. We've been asking for it for sometime and with all the "hot-fix's" for 1 or 2 loot drops can you at least drop something like that in the next patch that fixes this issue?

And if you are not going to fix this would you please let us know why?

What is the 2 stars about? No one wants this fixed?

I could be crazy but lots of people keep referring to this as a big problem and needs to be fixed...

I agree, WO3 needs to be fixed. The game is way too easy at master as it is, and PvP is still a tad too fast. By leaving WO3 the way it is, you essentiallygive everyoneguns that do twice as much damage while using less energy. This makes it hard to balance anything. Both WO2 and WO4 work the way they are supposed to, already, so the fix should be extremely easy to impliment. Also, while we're on the topic of broken droid programs, the Capacitor Overload programs need to be taken a look at. As far as I can tell, they don't draw any extra reactor energy when you run them. The result is that everyone who wants to can run Cap Overload 4 and double their cap's energy and recharge with no down side. I mean, what's the point of the lesser Cap Overloads when you can run CO4 just as easily?

I think not, you can still 1 shot kill people even without weapons overcharged. This will be more like a nerf then a change if they changed wo3. I'd say they neex to change wo4 so you don't have to have a 100000 power reactor to even use it. Because right now no ones uses it because of the drain it takes.

Situation:

Ship A Fires:
25 times - No weapon Overload
20 Times - Wpn Overload 1, Wpn does 50% more dmg
13 Times - Wpn Overload 2, Wpn does 100% more dmg (That is already 2x dmg)
XX Times - Wpn Overload 3, Wpn does 150% more dmg (2.5x dmg and infinite shots)
5 Times - Wpn Overload 4, wpn does 200% more dmg (3x dmg)

Some ships can 1 shot with no wpn overload, some cannot. With Wpn Overload 3, many more can one shot, and very few cannot. This program makes Low mass ships able to weild much more firepower than their mass should allow. The benefit of using larger less manuverable ships disappears when smaller ships are able to run WO3.

I agree that wpn overload 4 is pretty useless but it's balanced, 3x dmg should come with a healthy trade off and it does.

I also think that freelancer programs (Cap Overload in particular) needs attention. Giving benefits with no negatives is causing a lot of problems imo.

Bump would really love to hear something from the devs on this issue.

Update: Thanx for teh 1 star, really helps to here feedback!
