Possible problem with Magrider main gun

It's fine!

The "Lasher debaucle" was mainly the result of the difficulties in balancing a weapon with a basic balance flaw inherent to its design: that it was an HA weapon with SA properties (the lash). That and the later Devs' insistence on overbuffing/nerfing its capabilities in line with what they thought it needed and not what the vast majority of VS themselves actually asked for, and with no thought made towards simply fixing the AP bug it had picked up.

Any added turmoil thrown in by the playerbase was equally the result of cries from all three empires throughout its life, not just the VS. To think otherwise is simply ignorant.



On topic, it's hard to say whether or not the fixed cannon is going to be a problem until we actually see more of the Mag in action. The few fleeting glimpses we saw in the GDC footage tells us very little of its capabilities.

If they give it the maneuverability it needs to effectively use the main cannon it'll probably be hella fun to drive!
