The TLDR is the hook that comes with the 1.6 update is fine, but any newer ones from at least the 7/26/2019 and up versions increase laser damage by almost double? Very easy to test in skirmish, I was using a TIE Interceptor vs a stationary Y-Wing, quad linked shots. Dies in half the shots on the newer hooks. Works with other lasers too, at least for fighters. Didn't check capital ship weapons.

Longer winded story is I recently started up the campaign again and felt like I was getting shot out of the sky really quickly. Started testing things one by one and realized that with just the 1.6 pack installed it was fine but after installing the Casino, the next upgrade with newer hooks, I had the higher damage. Seeing that the hooks were also updated I started testing those vs the old ones one by one and landed on this one. Wondering if this is intended behavior or a bug, I guess? Hoping it's a bug cause ouch =P
