The Fusion Cannon is an AoE weapon and takes fusion ammo. The Fusion Rifle is not an AoE weapon and takes fusion ammo. Whats up with that? Why cant spies have an AoE Fusion Weapon?

If u think about AOE Guns are normaly cannons of some sort so could u see a spy carrying around a DoomBeamer with all the ammo needed for lvling as well u would be over loaded ALOT! AOE are made for Tanks/Monks/DronersQuote:

Also, there's no reason why a spy can't carry around enough ammo for an aoe weapon, especially if they recycle.
TL;DR: If drones can hold 100 über rockets, then a spy can carry around the ammo for an aoe weapon.
Spies have enough!
They got nanites, fancy rifles, cloaking and our fine wimminz!
Please, aoe isn't going to help them in pvp, and it'll just make it more fair for them in pve.
Droning should not be the only option.
They have sniper rifles to help in PVE.
And what about the wimminz?
Sniper rifles suck for xp.
So drone and switch. Every fooker is doing it.
God damn spies took our dubs!
Derailed!
My work here is done....
*runs*
AoE isn't all that viable in PvP combat anyways. AoE would greatly help Spies who are spec'd for Rifles.Quote:

I don't see why spies should have to spec for droning just for purposes of leveling, then LoM to go for Rifles. IMO that is just using game mechanics just to level faster. Really doesn't seem fair for those who would rather be a rifle user, and therefor starts using rifles from the start.
I'm not asking for it to be changed, but rather a viable explination as to why it is done this way. Cannons use fusion ammo, rifles also use fusion ammo, but yet one is AoE and the other isn't. That is where my question lies.
Have u ever had a fight with R2K they Barrel/AOE the fuck out of the UG all the time and now how is that not Viable????Quote:

tbh, I consider the idea of giving spies/pes AoE as a bad one
remember guys... we have CLASSES in neocron, you're not meant to be able to use everything with your character! you're making a decision when creating the char. stick to it! or create a new char that is able to use AoE!
neocron has been (as far as i know) the game in which you - as a player - have to make by far the most decicions concering character development, professions, skills, resists etc.
since neocron 1 this great concept has slowly, but constantly, been weakened. what a fail imho ;( LOM pills have been introduced. spells and weapons with new abilities have been added to balance the itempool inbetween character classes. far more changes than i could recap here... in the early days, decisions were persistant. if your con setup sucked, well, there was no way to undo that... instead of playing the char "as is" or creating a new one.
but why? why destroy this great concept of a "soft" class system? a system where you already have so many abilities and possibities. a system, where that huge tank could run around with the tiny liberator instead of his CS. a system, in which a P-E could go h-c and blast his enemies with gatling fire. a system, where a ppu could skill melee and kill his damageboosted enemies with a TL17 sword. but noooo, we want AoE for spies...
well, because the community cried for "balance"... by now, nearly every class is able to do everything by itself. buff, shield, heal, use (nearly) any weapon... wtf...!
what would you say if I wanted a cloaking device for my ppu...
