So if I'm hearing you right:PM wrote:Before 1.1, I gave +150% IM90 to the Wolfen, and circled enemies (especially Iocrym command ship) as I shot them. I could focus more on dodging as there was no need to line up shots.
As for swivel, I consider twenty degree arc about a x0.75 or x0.8 multiplier in terms of weapon guidelines. Not sure about much wider arcs. Smaller arcs, ten degrees or less are useful only for two things: Compensating for AI's lack of facings and/or bad aim, or to force repeating weapons to fire an entire burst with the same velocity (if aTargetObj is not Nil) even if the attacker turns - in other words, no spraying by turning the ship.
10 degrees -> almost no benefit
20 degrees -> 75% enhancement
360 degrees -> 150% enhancement
That suggests to me that most of the benefit to swivel is in the improved ability to aim, and dodging is of much less benefit. Do you usually use omni weapons to dodge when you install them?
