Quote:Improved Reaper - Class 10

Hull damage per shot: 850
Shield damage per shot: 60
Range: 700 meters
Projectile velocity: 700 meters per second
Good against: Molecular shields
Average against: Graviton shields
Weak against: Positron shields
Rate of fire: 3.03
Energy use: 156

Compare: PROMETHEUS - Cl. 10
Hull dpshot: 860
Shield dpshot: 430
Speed: 600
RoF: 3.03
Juice drain: 178

Proms're some if not -the- bestest 3.03 Codies around. They need to be looted.
Your gun offers: 100 more speed, less drain, -slightly- less damage.
It'd also be buyable.

The speed advantage given by +100 m/s is, frankly, huge - and throws that thing into the imba category because of it.
A Class 10 Reaper firing slower for extra punch? No big deal, the way I see it. But not with a speed bonus that large - if any at all.


Quote:Improved Death's Hand - Class 10

Hull damage per shot: 400
Shield damage per shot: 25
Range: 750 meters
Projectile velocity: 750 meters per second
Good against: Positron shields
Average against: Molecular shields
Weak against: Graviton shields
Rate of fire: 5.88
Energy use: 150

Compare: Natterturn Zwei - Cl. 9
Hull dpshot: 325
Shield dpshot: 162.50
Speed: 750
RoF: 5.88
Juice drain: 83

Natters are pretty beefy 5.88s coming with the same 750 as your thing.
But your thing does 75 hull damage more.
Way I see it, it is interesting to propose a weapon with the focus on hull damage (It does have 25 shield only, afterall.)
Still might turn out to be a bit imba-ish.
Not so much for the speed, I mean Natters aren't the only 5.88s with that.
Things like a Suncannon D and Skyblast B combo for example, both 750, are quite the chainsaw and heavy on the drain overall, with a poor performance against shields, usually.
(Due to most of 'em peoples usin' ye olde Graviton Shields, with a few Moleculars and as good as no Positrons in-between.)

But the fact remains that you don't have your ship explode when it runs out of shield, but when it runs out of hull.
And shields are -easy- to get rid of usually if you have some kind of shieldbuster aboard.
Hull however, isn't. Takes time to wear someone down. Those guns there would speed that process up by a fair if not too large bit.
Whether that'd be offset by the drain and the limitation to a Cl. 10 slot as seen there is the Q.
But I like the idea.


Quote:Angel of Death - Cruiser Weapon

Hull damage per shot: 25000
Shield damage per shot: 10000
Range: 1000 meters
Projectile velocity: 750 meters per second
Rate of fire: 0.50
Energy use: 5500

Looks like a... Battle Razor variation to me, so...
Actually, might be fine.
Not 1/2 of hull damage as shield damage but 10k, that's a plus, waaay shorter range, 10k lower damage than the BR, for 50 less speed while being able to fire twice as fast.
With a little less speed and a proper drain - 'cause I think that there be a typo, laddie - it might work.
If diversity's the word, why not sneak a custom BR in.
Don't see any more fitting candidate for that than the Order. ('Cept Squids, yanno.)
