Zappers?

[Fluffyball]

Don't compare the EVE engine to Freelancer engine (...) which has stoped evolving in the rightful company hands.

I can't understand your agresiveness anyway. I proposed the idea of a gun that would find place in Disco. And, as you noticed Captain Obvious, Freelancer Discovery engine cannot be upgraded, because of one little fact:

Half of the server population cannot even run such graphics like Crossfire has.

Of course, we do not have the source code, but Crossfire 2.0 and the newest Star Wars mod look like they were games with budget.

If we put some sort of 'beam' that cuts through hull - Freelancer will crash on the amount of lag it could cause

Then, uh... Why do we have zappers, as you said they would cause lags? I never spoke about actual cutting ship in half, mind you. Zappers are nothing more than fast invisible projectiles with neat effect put on it. Ask Alley. And I was refering to high hull damage.

All I pointed out it could be good anti-cap weaponry if remodified into "siege" beam - slower and more powerful, but it would be the similiar weaponry akin to Razors, with different effect. It would produce no lag - with 0.50 refire rate.

the engine isn't going to support and it's not built for multiplayer campaign

Then, uh, how are we playing Disco then, according to you? If we are going into "not designed for this" and "not designed to that" game, it wasn't designed to support flyable capital ships either. Next time read what you type before you post anything.

P.S. Don't take it as an assault. I don't know a crap about technical part of devs' work, but I based my replies on what devs were and are posting.
