Administrator Cannon

[LancerZero]

I've been making silver runs from Colorado to Manhatten, and I tend to get bored and scan people's ships. I was scanning the admin's fighter when I noticed that he mounted several Administrator Cannons. Obviously, these things must be powered by unholy arcane energy (probably kitten blood and puppy souls, combined with the hearts of baby seals) capable of downing a dreadnought in a single salvo . . . But still, I can't help but wonder what the actual numbers on the things are.

Also, perhaps, seeing just how frighteningly powerful these weapons are will *ahem* discourage rule-breaking. Although . . . that would assume that habitual rule-breakers actually read the forums. Har har.

:Pthe numbers show up when you scan them.

Besides, admins just use .kill.

They only do 20,000 hull damage with a 4.00 refire rate.

There shots look kinda cool though, like a neutron with a trail of rings.

Heavy mortars do more damage than an admin cannon though:D



To bad the admin decided to be lame and use .kill or I would of enjoyed flying circles around him for a few moments untill a stray salvo nailed me

There is one rule herein Disco: Never ask an Admin "Wanna PvP?" Reasons: 1. Admins have uber shields 2. Admins can use the .kill command:P

Wey, you say lame, eh? A fighter is pretty much *BEEP*ed if he gets hit by those guns. Cap ships also have a problem. (More powerful than any Cap turret with similar refire)

A heavy mortar does more damage if you hit with ONE SHOT, but, damage per second, an admin cannon would be a lot better.... They are fast, they have a high refire, if your by 2 shots in a fighter, you'll be dead before you can use any shield bats, and, they can mount them on starfliers if they want, with the uber shields... The admins use .kill because its more efficent, and, they can avoid hitting other people, or NPCs, and, they can be in NY, you can be in Omicron Alpha, they'll always hit.. Trust me, I've never seen a .kill command miss...

Reminds me of the classic DiamondHead codename weapon...

Well, if the admin mispelles it....

yeah on my own server I had a raven claw with 9 admin cannons (not to mention the 3 thrusters)

[weylin]

I didnt say capship weapons are better, im mean... duh... its an admin cannon, easy as putting exessive 0 place holders for the damage output...

.kill is still lame:(
I wonder how it works... does it edit your character file directly and kill it or what? I dont get how it works.
