Re: Physics. If the physics are too fast now then just slow them down a bit or increase laser primary damage. Don't throw the whole arsenal out of balance by relying on one uber hitscan weapon to patch the problem.
Or at least, make that balancing force only balance CTF. For example, if the Nex delivered negative force, a bit like the crylink, it could strongly counter carriers without being the hand of Zeus in normal combat.
If you haven't heard, fruitiex's intention is to make the Nex a short-medium ranged weapon. That's why the Nex has some weak normal falloff, as opposed to reverse falloff which would make it most powerful at sniping ranges.
So you'll probably need to look for a new long range weapon, anyway. The Rifle will probably be one of your better options. Get good at head shots.
It was actually the low framerate that was really hindering me (I fixed that later on), but either way I should have some more experience with this balance soon enough.
However, since the records show a definite advantage for the Nex and its stats haven't been changed greatly from where it was in 2.5, whereas the other weapons have been mostly nerfed (except the electro), there's plenty of reason to see the Nex is still plenty overpowered.
