Smaller weapons in larger slots

[Droplifter]

I've hit something of a wall in terms of progress... I spread my points out in some places in the skill tree here and there, but got to the point where I can fly a cruiser but the only one I can afford/find accepts level 2 ballistic weapons... which I can't use. I'm finding it really hard at the moment to level up to fit level 2 weapons and there seems to be a huge jump once you get told to destroy a hive.

Would it be game-breaking to be able to fit smaller class weapons in larger slots? Cheers anyway fun game so far.

You CAN fit smaller weapons into larger slots.

That's what the tutorial was telling!

BRB testing that out then... 


EDIT: Yes turns out I was trying to fix the wrong type of gun into the wrong socket altogether... I suck at this.

On a totally different note that rocket cruiser pilot flies worse than I do, he's at 50% hp and I've not even ventured into alien space yet!


Cheers.
