    I've been running a Bastion forever. The firing pattern for RSB WAS something like 6 or 7 bursts at a time before recharging. I recently bought the Surgeon design (extra generator!) and immediately noticed that the burst is now about THREE, then the recharge. I switched back to Bastion and now THAT design only fires RSBs in bursts of 3. Did something change with the RSBs?

    Hello Ghiamonster

    Thank you PSKSUNDANCE for assisting with this thread.

    Do you (the original poster) have any further questions or can we close?

    Well after switching ships around and test firing -
    Surgeon - Gives short bursts of BOTH X4 and RSBs
    Sentinal - Gives CONTINUOUS X4 and longer RSB bursts - usually 7-8 firing "sounds" vs. 3-4 on other ships).
    Bastion (the ship I've been using for years) - Also continuous X4 BUT now is firing the short RSB bursts like the Surgeon. Didn't used to.

    As I said, I've been using the Bastion and until I bought (and used) the Surgeon I was getting the longer bursts of RSB. Now the only one of the designs that's acting "normal" is the Sentinal. I've got all the Goli designs but only tested the 3 mentioned.

    Now, IF I've lost my mind - I AM old - and the Bastion is supposed to be having the short bursts or whatever, WHY would different designs have different firing scenarios if they're ALL Goliaths underneath the frills, carrying the same weaponry???

    it doesnt matter how many bursts you shoot, you will still inflict the same amount of damage as long as you shoot RSB's.

    Thank you all for your assistance with this players issue.

    After investigating the matter further the amount of damage has not changed, merely the visual and sound effects have changed.
    I know that some players enjoy those extra sounds and features. However for others those types of extras do cause a bit more lag.

    We do appreciate all of you sharing your thoughts and information on this matter.
    Does the OP have any further questions on this topic?

    Please have a nice day and enjoy your game.
