What if I don't want to use bombs or guns?

[Doom-Squirrel]

Why not add an item, available to most ships (Except spider and shark, i must say) in the bomb section which increases another one of your stats.

 

I am being a little vague, but I'm not asking for something specific, I just want an alternative to buying bombs and mines if I just don't feel like i'll ever need to use them.

 

 

So if you want to use a gun only based ship, then you can buy this add-on, and you won't be able to use bombs, but your ship will be a little better because of it.

 

 

Also, maybe, though it probably wont be necessary, would be to add the same type of things to the gun port.

Only problem is that Levi's and Javs will be the only ones to have it.

Well, that's kind of what mines are for...

I also use salvo on gun based ships for the short item recovery time. I really enjoy how you can use mines or salvo for bombs for practical benefits, but not stat-wise benefits. Although, I'm not opposed to just having a gun or bomb converter or something.

 

My idea is using guns to beef up shrapnel. I think you should be able to buy some guns solely for shrapnel effects. For example, you could get nonbouncing l3 shrap but it would also increase the energy cost of firing bombs to counterbalance (Or maybe also even bouncing l3 shrap, but at a huge energy cost).

I think hes talking about like how you have h2 ramscoop kinda as reactor plant instead of speed. replace bombs for more speed or whatever.
