Super Nova alternitave

[jammi]

I've been reading a topic recently about how far RP stretches on weapons (something about someone wanting to use Corsair turrets on a Rouge GB) and partway through the issue of SNs came up. The SN is sold by he Zoners, which makes it free for all, when technicaly it is a Order weapon and should really only be used for them. I'm proposing a new conventional torpedo in put in place doing between 3/4 or 6/8 of the damage of a Super Nova (or depending on what I'm thniking about 5/8 seeing as people will mount them on both slots) and then phrasing the infocard so it really is free for all. For example:

The (insert name) torpedo was developed by Krishno Technologies mi-way through the Bretonia Kusari war. It's introduction to the fornt line gave Kusari a huge advantage, until Liberty caught wind and obtianed several of the units, for there, the design was speard through all the houses and onto the black-market.

Whadda ya think? Doable or will it cause more problems?

a good idea. - i would like all weapons, no exceptions, to be faction based or close to factions that develope them - unless stated differently in their ID.

so a supernova of similar - but slightly less power would be great. - the supernova / nova should still be the most powerful.. - but a real free for all version could still do like 100.000 damage.

other weapons that need this, too :

- capital ship inferno
- battlerazors of all types
- mortars of all types

- universal armour
- capital ship armour

Jinx summed it up pretty well. Either edit the infocards so that the Order isn't the only one who has the good stuff, or add equivalents. Even giving each house their own Antimatter Cannon isn't that far fetched, maybe make each one a different damage type (right now, SN is Tachyon I believe...).

As for armor upgrades, scrap the bits about the Order and Corsairs using them. Please.

Agreed @Jinx, except for one point. I read somewhere the the Inferno line of weapons were an Outcast-exclusive (and their allies) weapon - they were proud of it, and were the only ones who made them. Is this true?

[Dusty Lens]

Sure is Capt.

The fighter based inferno shooter is only allowed to Outcasts and Outcast friendly factions.

Add Outcast and Corsair ones, then make the Order one a Zoner one and we're set. Good job!

Clayph is king. Different SNs for the houses = great.

However, what would Outcasts get? I'd assume Corsairs, Zoners and Order would use the original one?

To speak on a completely selfish point:

The antimatter boomstick is absolutely essential to bombers at this point. You're not a bomber without one. It's been a sort of 'nod nod wink wink' item to this point because of that, despite it's Order origin.

My question would be, if we enact a system such as this one are various pirate groups (selfishly speaking on behalf of the Xenos now, and please abstain from commenting that we're too bloody poor to have the things in the first place :P) going to suddenly find themselves in a compromising/sanctionable position by employing these weapons on their craft?

When I read statements such as: "In 816 A.S. few of these weapons were tested in field tests on Planet Anchorage, showing astonishing results. In 817 A.S. weapon was ready for limited production and now can be seen only on high ranking LSF or Liberty Navy vessels." I begin to feel that I'll be able to suit up our vessels with them as easily as the XA could employ Avengers and Raven Claws.

I feel that it's a valid point and one worth addressing.
