Munitions Tree Balance Issues

Illogical placement of certain Mine schematics of the Munitions tree. The DRX Mine (Munitions I) requires a subcomponent (Warhead Stabilizing Mechanism) from MunitionsII and two named resources. The XG Mine (Munitions III) uses fewer resources than the DRX, only requires generic metals andsubcomponents craftable at Novice Weaponsmith. These two schematics should be swapped.

Mines require a balance pass. XG mine isAR1,Blast, with high damage. DRX mine is AR3, Blast, with rather low damage (I think damage output slightly worse than the XG after factoring in the AR bonuses). Anti-vehicular mine is AR1, Heat, with low damage. In other words, the easiest mine to make [XG Mine] is the best, and the hardest mine to make is the worst.

Grenades require a balance pass. In several cases, the HAM costs of the Proton Grenade (and generally, most other non-C12/C22 grenades) are so high, you end up doing more damage to yourself than you did to your target. Thermal Detonators are higher in the tree, but inferior to Imperial Detonators. Additionally, range modifiers for grenades tend to suck, something that's hard to reconcile with a weapon that supposedly has a large blast radius.

Grenade speed bugged. Irregardless of the speed on the actual grenade, all thrown weapons are hard-capped at a 9 second delay between throws.

Yeah, XG not as good, but much easier and cheaper to make. DXR take a longer time to make and more resources, but can deal some good damage. I remember i mad about 500 total mines for our base and some jedi who were taunting out turrets died when the mines went off

To make the DXR really worth it, have them sliced and powered up before putting in the turrets. Have XG mines for backup during emergency attacks.
