The question that's sticking in my mind... Is the ham cost of weapons going to have any impact on the drain of pool bars and/orcooldowntime of specials, or will those effects be hard numbers based on the special used?
This is my fear.

the question on my mind is will the 10's of millions I have spent on resources still be valid? I have all of my cash tied up in resource investments.

Considering they got rid of encumberance for armor and replaced it with un-experimentable hinderances, I have a feeling they may be getting rid of HAM costs altogether. If that's the case, I hope they replace it with some other property we can experiment on.

Not yet....but I hope the secion on armor sheds some light. It would be nice to be able to make 3 levels of weapons.....i.e. same basic weapon design...but with a low , medium, and a high value design. Higher certification levels...the better the weapon. That would be just great!.
I don't mean to make a confusing statement...let me give an example of what I'm thinking:
FWG5 with one layer = Low level FWG5 ------- Beginning certification (Weak, but extremely fast weapon)
FWG5 withtwo layers =Mid level FWG5 ------ Mid level certification (Mid damage, but slower rate of fire)
FWG5 withthree layers =High level FWG5 --- High Level certification (High damge, but increased cooldown time)
Each layer might be an ABPH or a Feed mech. This would allow people to choose their favorite weapon type.....and not be forced to use a single "Greatest Weapon"
As always..I'm reading between the lines and I have no more info than the rest of us, but it's fun to speculate.
