Why no snipers?

[Yber]

They could add a new, beam - type weapons. They would have near - infinite projectile speed, long range and huge hull damage, but virtually no shield damage, unbelievable refire rate and huge energy usage.
Proposal for such a gun (just an idea):

"Scorcher" Neutrinum Cannon [class 10 fighter gun]
Hull damage: 12000/round
Energy damage: 10/round
Refire rate: 0.1/sec
Power usage: 600/round
Damage type: Neutrinium (reduced damage to all shields)
Speed: 150000 m/sec
Travel range: 1500m
Lifetime: 0.001 sec


Something like that. Respectively lower damage and range for lower - class guns. This could allow some really interesting long range fighter - to - fighter fights, and, since it outranges nearly all other weapons in the game would make even light fighter viable against gunship - class ships... If you can take their shields out first.

Just a wild idea, first thing that came to mind...
