it deals only 2 less damage than the nukor does fyi.

you have to remember that the nukor only deals elemental damage, this deals physical damage so although you will have less elemental damage overall with the same mods, the spectra will have the added bonus of physical damage that the nukor dosn't have.

In other words, the physical damage will give it faction specific advantages that elemental only weapons lack. Plus the spectra can be modded to fight any faction, whereas combination elemental weapons (ie radiation) aren't very good in that regard.
