I like the crylink primary. I really do. Actually, I like most of the weapons very much. I think the Nex and the Camping Rifle are quite well balanced atm.
I still would find it reasonable if the Nex would consume ammo during charging, and I really liked the idea that it charged automatically when you were moving really fast. Not that this would be needed, but the physical explanation of the thing cooling down by all that wind makes sense, too (especially on space maps... uhm...).
The problem what happens when you run out of ammo can be easily solved by allowing to charge the Nex only to the extent that you still have ammo or one shot left.
One thing I noticed which I found very annoying is that the Electro just doesn't do anything anymore when you keep firing it and run out of ammo. It always takes me one or two seconds to notice that something is missing: the beam. Maybe it would make sense to change it so that the weapon automatically changes once you run out of ammo? Just as it does when you hit the fire button and are out of ammo?
Edit: Oh, and thank you, FruitieX, for elaborating. I really didn't get it. I think now I understood it, sort of. So I continue to run around with a charged nex at 80% to 100% percent.
