I would like to purchase a useless gun please!! Thank you. - Baphomet - 01-07-2021
Greetings
I know this is gonna be a drag, and i know ppl will hate me more than they already do.......no wait, thats not possible.
kek.wew.lawl
In any case, i wont post a story like i usually do, i'll just come right out with it. Achem * clears throat * Im GAY!!
No wait, thats not the right thread for this discussion * keeps whisteling to make it go away *
Now for the real deal, the fraking mothercracking Scatter gun for bomber class
Lets change it finally, because frankly i havent seen much ppl fly bombers with it. There is probably a good reason for it = useless. As in:
What good is a giant torpedo between your legs if u dont have any ignition, or fuel to support it??......
Ok, ok, maybe the example is not quite on spot, but still. Il try again, no sexual indictions this time.
What good is a dynamite stick if the fuse is too short?? heheh, nailed it
So then, the 150 meters range for a Scatter gun. U are right when u are reluctant to extend the range at this damage potential, that would be redicilous, and it was redicilous.
We have 2 main bomber weapons (non ammo based)
The EMP-Lacerator and
Energy " Render" cannon
One is good for shileds and one is good for hull. Why not make a Scatter gun hit middle ground between the 2, but with shorter range. So if someone wants to use it, sure but you still wont fight caps with it
Imagine if it was :
Hull dmg-575
Shield dmg-575
Range-333 meters
Speed-515 meters/sec
Refire-4:0
Energy usage-212
These kind of stats would do several things:
1. you would have some defense vf fighters, but they still outgun and outrange a bomber
2. your scatterguns would be utterly useless vs caps or even transports
3. you are in a bad position vs bombers and risk getting deshielded fast and then SNAC'd/Nova'd
4. This setup probably wont help vs SHF also as they will eat u alive with their multiple gun advantage
But at least we wouldnt have a 150 meters range USELESS weapon. And the speed is deffinitely nothing to brag about either
The DPS comes to 2300 for both shiled and hull, which is also nothing special.
Energy consumption is a little large yes, it consumes the Light bomber core in 11 seconds, but thats rthe tradeoff.
*******************
But i probably dont understand stats enough to do any of this tight, all i know is that in the current state, is utter shit of a weapon, so lets change it.
Are you with me?? Yei or Ney?!

As someone that Flys a Bomber and Likes it, I would Wish for more Bomber Weapons especially for the Energy Type. I Know it makes sense that a Bomber haves it Harder against a VHF, but right now are some of the only Options for me either a Torpedo Kill by a Lucky Hit that in some Cases Kill me too then or to get shot down by the VHF. It also doesn't Help that a Bomber haves only 2 Energy Guns Spots. so I am Definitely for this to Have more Options for Bomber Weapons, and a Codegun would be nice too.

Faction Bomber weapons would be lovely

Bruh... There were literally no fighters in the game before this gun was nerfed. A-and it's definitely better this way than before. It isn't useless, it's highly specialized. Just try it against transports.

And some of the factions to have special weapons available only to them to make a little diversity or with different stats, cause most of the weapons are all the same for every faction.
