Chain Guns

[Fellow Hoodlum]

Technically what we are using here in Discovery are not really chain guns. They are a
single barrel cannon with the firing action driven by something similar to a motor bike chain...
We are using a Gatling style rotary multi-barrel, the best known varieties being the
Minigun, which has appeared in countless games, and closest to ours, The Vulcan
air to air cannon........
Anyway my point is this thing is laggy in real time... Please dont slow its fire rate, as
seems to be the call. The whole idea of this type of weapon is to get as much lead in
the air as possible, in the shortest time, against fast flying craft.

Thank you Modders......... Hoodlum :)

Sorry guys I read in another post that the gun was laggy and slowing it down was
the answer. I've never had trouble with mine either.......... Dead right about the
look though!!!........... :laugh:

in regards to lag..

i think you're confusing Chaingun with swarm missle pod.

i think Igiss has fixed the swarm missle pod, but as far as the chaingun is concerned.. I'd go with some sort of single barrel thing.

The *LOOK* of the weapon can be changed, so can the dynamics. lets not get into a debate on senematics over it ;)

I haven't noticed any lag when using them, though you do have to adjust your aim quite a bit.

No lag here either, but i don`t like using them. I like more damage per shot, at a slower refire rate (but not as slow as 2.00 :P). :)

I don't lag ether but then again I don't lag when using the swarm missle pod ether, but I have a really fast putter

{TG}Thunder: liberty gunboat with battleship missle turrets (I think he is trying to over compansate for something with the size of those guns lol)

I don't lag on the chain-guns. I actually rather like the Purple Goddess ones for fighters. They chew right through Nomad Fighter armor. >:)

As for the Swarm, however, I never really saw any good use for it. You only get a few hits in, then the rest blow up in your face or don't hit anything. That, and it makes everyone look like they're in a DBZ version of Freelancer (teleporting around, blasts out of no where, and sometimes there is the "RrrrrrRRRRRRAAAAGH!!!!" to boot (Generaly it's people not amused by said lag though)).
