addedMachine guns—as one of the most popular and versatile weapon types—have been tweaked to make them more balanced, especially in PvP. The minigun can still fire all 480 rounds without overheating, but if you increase its magazine size with structural bonuses it may now overheat. You can avoid overheating by assigning the minigun to a crew member with the “Knowledge of Physics” skill.
addedWe’ve also paid attention to grenade launchers: thanks to the increased projectile velocity, firing them is now more convenient, which we hope will attract new fans to this weapon class.
