New type of Anti-cap weapon?

[darthbeck]

<strike>Nuclear cannon anyone?

Lob a nuke mine equivalent in a straight line with lowish speed, no proxy 'splosion, using ammo or with great reload time. </strike>
Question is - who would mount it, and what does it add. meh.

its called a sunslayer.

On the same topic of ideas, how about a sort of beam weapon. It would have a damage of about 40-50k hull and 10-20k sheild, a refire rate of 0.10 or something and would take up just under a full VHF powerplant. The main thing would be it having a projectile speed of something like 20,000, the actual beam of the gun would be 1000m long and a range of about 1000m. It could give VHFs an alternative to the mini-razor and a more efective option against caps. I think it would make big fights, involving multiple cruisers/battleships and swarms of fighters that would normaly be restricted to acting as escorts/bomber protection, much more interesting. It would also make it harder for gunboats and gunships to go around unthreatened by anything other than a bomber/cap. Just an idea.

Montezuma

if it takes that much energey then it would be almost useless.
also. 20k speed? instent hit on a fighter. this would be way over powered. i can see light bombers mounting this and a cd. and pwning every thing. no

switch the morter to a MAC gun type thing mabye? (essentally a rail gun but it can be more easly rped as you can slug anything you can put whatever tip you want on it(tacyon HE antimatter ectra)

you can just rp that the morter is a artillery cannon. or something like that.
