New Weapon Ideas?

[Xavier.Fierceshot]

Bring some 16.67 high damaging guns to fighters! :laugh:

I think there should be chainguns like the eco chaingun or the bluebell except as class 9 guns.

Shotgun spray gun? You could mount multiple shotgun sprayers onto a ship to unleash a fury of laser blasts at once. A ship like the Werewolf where all the guns are concentrated would benefit from a gun like this. The energy usage would be extremely high to fire off 5 blasts, but at pointblank range it is the equivalent of getting hit by 5 krakens... The accuracy would be poor, with one blast going where the crosshair is aimed and the rest fanning out from it. Multiple guns would drain energy very fast.

For mines.. what about Cluser mines? The ammo drain rate would be 5 per drop, but they would have the same stats as Ripper mines. Picture that your on the joust... just as your opponent is about to pass, you drop the cluster mines.

Another weapon could be Armor spikes. Where the weapon hardpoints of your ship are located, if you put spikes, whenever you ram into an opponent it does minimal shield damage, but rips hull apart. I think ramming could be a perfectly fine combat tactic, of course if capital ships wouldn't flip. :P
