Weapon Ideas

[Jinx]

about the flak:

the range should be greater than 300 - some battleships are longer than 300 meters - and since its not possible to target multiple targets, you may end up shooting yourself, cause the projectile explodes right in the middle of your own ship. ( juggernaut for example does not recognize firing arcs for most of its guns - so the turrets from the tail shoot into the front arc, too )

about the slug throwers:

i am unsure about it - right now, i imagine a ravens claw. 4lvl10 guns, 2lvl9 and 2lvl8 guns. - lets make that:

- 6x slug throwers ( 300 damage ( 3000 dps in theory ) at a speed of 3000 )
[6x buckshot: ( 1548 damage ( 6192 dps in theory at a speed of 750 ) <-- just to compare it to a good beam weapon]
- 2x shield buster

a light fighter has no chance anymore - while it is only barely useful against a VHF. that is due to the fact that the greatest defense of a light fighter is its agility. while the defense of a VHF is its armor. so its a highly efficient anti light fighter weapon, but a poor VHF+ weapon.

what might be useful though is :
if the slug throwers did even less damage. but had a little blast radius upon impact ( to simulate breathing through armor, instead of melting it a bit ) - then it would be an anti equipment weapon. - if you d shoot a stream of it on a target, the target would most probably not die - but it would get its equipment damaged. - perfect anti bomber weapon without actually killing the bomber.

now - we cannot have that, cause: projectile weapons cannot have a blast damage... and vanilla ships would blow up - soo, too bad:laugh:
