1) is anything going to be done so you can see what level of weapon you have compared to what level you are mounting. I don't mean right clicking or anything just some kind of at glance system.
2) Don't take the following as whining or anything but i've seen alot of people who won't come into beta because they feel the users are not being listened to when it comes to ideas. If they suggest ideas they are quickly shot down by "the EAD isn't powerful enough" group. Everyone knows who these people are.
I just wanted to bring this to the admins attention that a little more attention to the normal (non-devs) users would be welcome if you want to make the new release welcoming to everyone rather then just a select few people which it seems to the general public that is happening.
I'm sure I will get attacked on this post soon by that group.

'TEIPE' group eh? There has to be pros and cons to things. If one thing is suggested then people must fight over it. It's how things are balanced. You don't have to get all mean here, I'm not here to attack you. No one is, and us 'vets' choose to play beta, because newbies wont. Hate to say it.
Hell, buddy, I'm Kluth. But I do think the EAD needs to be changed. Heh
And I think thats a okay idea, like for example... PSI CANNON - LEVEL 0 when you just hover over it... Just like when its in a starport, so you can tell whats what.
Though the starport should revert it to level 0 I'd say, just a example on how it should look.

Actually the "Ead isnt powerful enough group" is basing a lot of the steam on the release game...
Beta moves into a whole different direction... Gideon did a full work up of the ships with the aid of the several of the other Devs. Some ships that were lowered in their abilities, some raised...
The system was based on a slot weight scale for balance.
Each device has pros and cons, energy beams dont require reloading... Projectiles deal greater damage as they level up, and have farther range, but as they strength goes up, the ammount of ammo comes down, the fire rate slows, and speed of round slows so you can dodge them at distance.
The game has been moved back to a play style where battles are drawn out.
There was another proposal as to realigning the ships that Demorian worked very hard on... But I am somewhat concerned about, I will post it here for feedback and might enable it for this weekend... But need to decide tonight...

Well I just wanted to let you know some people don't think there voices are being heard and there is too much about the beta they don't understand.

by that you mean they dont require any ammo other than the ship's energy or a high rate of fire? or something else? because they still get drained by elf...
Projectiles deal greater damage as they level up, and have farther range,
although if the ship is not a station and moving, not much chance of hitting at 1500+
but as they strength goes up, the ammount of ammo comes down, the fire rate slows, and speed of round slows so you can dodge them at distance.
whoops. didnt know that. guess it mostly invalidates my second bit above
