just to make sure i understand it correctly
beams do the same like now, but they only apear to shoot multiple points on the target instead the center ?

SUBJECT: COMBAT TIMER
Stop QQ'ing already.
It works well as intended. It may need some tweaking in the future, but I think Jack has thought this one out well enough.
When you spawn safe and away from the combat zone, this will help your damaged or 5% hulled ship rep at a more decent rate. It's not ultra fast as in the old 20-depot days. But it's fast enough so that you don't get cobwebs growing off your armpits as you sit there at your PC waiting for your ship to get repped.
As long as you take even a single little hit, your timer resets. So for all of you who're worried that a fleet might tank it at a planet. Here's a tip for you. Use AoE weapons.
Fire PCMs, Torps, Mines, Core Weaps or whatever at them. Let them soak up the splash damage that'll reset their combat timer. Fighters work well now seeing as how they stay out of PD range and spam the enemy continously with cannon fire.

Yay! System damage, can't wait for that again. Made battles a little more unpredictable.

Combat timer is great, but we need a De-buff to repairs while its active. 20% sounds fair?

icarus the beam changes affect only the visual of the beam hitting the ship, it does not affect when or which ship device will take damage.
if a HCL is visually hitting a jump drive device then its not necessary that the JD will take damage, or any other system device at all. it is only visual.

No, it doesn't. The 'out of combat' repair is fine, the only issue this seeks to resolve is taking too long getting back to combat. Back in the day when your ship exploded and it was gone for good, you could just grab a new one at full health, which minimised downtime.
