Heh, it gets better with Bstrike 2 then Bstrike 3.

But yeah, it does suck when it decides to bork out on you.

And to the rather uninformed poster that made the prior bstrike comment about doing missions for you - here's a bit of additional info. More often than not, the Bstrike is useless compared to /eweap. Only when outnumbered by heavy hitters (like the vette mission) does Bstrike become the more viable option. And that's pretty much for the sake of drawing fire away while you run in pumping damage at stuff. Any damage the Bstrike does manage to do is sheer bonus.

Think of it as a DOT. It doesn't hit hard, and what damge it does manage to do takes quite a while. Rather than sitting back, you could let Bstrike draw fire away from you, and do much more damage in two passes at your target with just blasters.

/eweap is worthless since it does nothing but reset your droid programs. wo3 adds just as much damage, and they dont stack (unless maybe you run wo3 right after hitting eweap? even then your going to be stuck without engine overload reactor overload and cap overcharge for a while)

Nope, WO3 doesn't add as much damage as my /eweap at least. If I get in a tight spot, say within gun range of a gunboat that decides to start bucking, I can /eweap and kill it from full in one pass.

Then with my handy-dandy 9.8 second DI it doesn't take long at all to cycle my RO / WO / EO again.

Not sure of the % increase to damage, but /eweap adds a ton. And well more than my guns hit for at WO3 any day.

well i stand corrected. the one time i tried it it didnt seem to make a differnce over wo3, but then agian ships i point my guns at tend to explode violently either way.
