The AT6+ plasma rifle and the lowered price for the crisis upgrade is something that I plan to present to the high lords without further testing.
I sent a pm to the netERC with the above suggestion today. So now I'm just waiting on their ruling.
After testing the Manta for a while now I believe the de-twinlinking makes it a lot better. It also changes it role a bit. it can now easily hang back to secure an area and kill or cripple most warengines, even the size of reavers, that go after the manta (Ion phalanx/missiles takes the shields out and the Railcannons do their thing). I think it needs more testing. I therefore din't propose it now.
I actually have come to believe it's to much in conjuction with lowering the price to 600. I think it should stay at 650 pts with de-twin-linking or at least 625.
I would actually prefer for us to playtest it with "1x Twin Heavy Railcannons ....... TK(D3
+1)". It increases the avarage damage by 50% instead of like 90-100% like the current proposal of de-twinlinking does (because with ML you're usually hitting on 2+ anyways). It also gives a maximum damage of 4 DC instead of 6.
It would be a smaller boost yes, but we could keep the price down at 600 or perhaps even 575. But maybe this would be seen as a step backwards. I will think a bit on this and maybe present a poll.
