Supposed to be a different wep to the megaposi, will be interesting to use.

I think that this is relatively balanced, however, that Delay and Mass worries me.
Increase Mass to at least 650kg, and increase delay to 0.17 and i like it.

As it's a large port, it is well balanced. Kierky, the upping of the delay and mass may be unnecessary when compared to the MPB:

If we're upping the delay, put it at 0.15s max I think.

Like it.

I put the mass as 550kg because the mega positron blaster has a mass of 500 kg, and it needs to have some things not as good so it is balanced. But yeah, I agree with the delay change. As someone said 0.17 and someone said 0.15, maybe I should make it 0.16, hehe. But for now I will make the mass 650kg

Meganeutron, eh? I've bounced the idea around but never bothered to put it into words/numbers..

Here's a comparison to the current Megaposi
...................Mass.....Delay...EPS....DPS.....DPE
Megaposi......500kg_.25___72____4800__66.7
Meganeut#1..550kg_.14___~107__6428__60
Meganeut#2..650kg_.16___93.8__5625__60

#1 seems pretty good to me.. A tad more damage at once, but less overall in a powercell.
#2 is slightly worse, maybe what it would be nerfed too if #1 was too powerfull.

Edit: dang, it didn;t handle the spacing right! now I have to use ugly line/dot things..

Since not everyone uses a monospace font, your spacing will be almost invariably fail to some degree. But you get the point across :)

What about grid, though?
May 05, 2009 FusionBurn link
Eh.. grid doesn't matter alot when you're flying a 2 port ship..

*though I REALLY wish I could put a widowmaker AND a megaposi on the same hog...

Yah, i'd rather go with the stats that are not in brackets. But that's just me.
