Great patch! Lasher with 360 shields is so good! And the new pulse projectiles are awesome.

Patch truly great, IDF Main Caliber weapons with built-in function now can be used as intended ;D
Alex, seeing you how hard and great you working on Starfarer might give me courage to start my own 2d top down spaceships MMORPG project :)

TPC seems too good. Lore-wise it's supposed to be outdated, yet in practice it's pretty much heavily buffed autopulse laser. It outperforms all hard flux energy weapons, being the only one with more than 1/1 flux efficiency. Makes me wonder what was the lore-wise reason for developing any other large energy weapons, if they all ended up being inferior to an old prototype...

Well, because they are fixed weapons we have no idea how large they are - they could be 50 OP weapons for all we know :P. The only real question is whether they are overpowered when on the Onslaught - I don't think so, because of how low the ship's flux dissipation is. They certainly make it a beast though! I honestly think the Paragon needs something to keep up - sure it has the Fortress shield, but the Onslaught got a burn drive.

Eh, I tried killing a paragon and it was no walk in the park. Didn't customize at all, though.

Yes, exactly - those are the reasons, both lore and mechanics wise. The TPC takes a large portion of each of the Onslaught's arms, and then some.
Something of the efficiency was lost in the process of refining and miniaturizing energy weapon designs - a good modern-day analogy would be how heat dissipation becomes a bigger problem as computer chips get smaller. But the fact that you don't have to mount the thing on an Onslaught (or have a PC take up most of a large building) is worth the tradeoff.

This is just great. :)

The Onslaught's new weapons are glorious and its just a pure beast of a ship now. It was a good idea of yours to take some extra time for this supplement patch and really get a lot of things squared away - now you can take a good long time to work on the next patch knowing that everything is in top shape. ;D
