nebulou Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 Just a couple suggestions for 2 not-so-popular weapons... 1> Plasma Cannon I would like to see a bouncing gun with high damage-per-second, either a modified Plasma Cannon or a new gun. This new gun will give basers more choice and break up the beam-spider monotony. Currently, I would estimate that 70% of gun-oriented base defenders use Beam array, 29% use Pulse Laser, 1% use Plasma Cannon and 0% use Shrap Booster. 2> Moab Its like TacNuke's little brother. The faster firing rate isnt very useful, firing it at full speed is energy suicide. Heres a possible change to make it more useful and to distinguish it from TacNuke: 400 energy to fireNo shrapnel One last suggestion: make either TacNuke or Moab available on Lancaster.
★ Ceiu Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 1) Pulse is more of a centering/offensive weapon than defensive one. Defense requires you deal damage while maintaining energy to sustain damage -- Beam Array is a clear winner in that catagory.2) Nothing is wrong with MOAB. It's designed for wall bombing and dealing lots of splash damage quickly. It's great for picking off defenders in a base who are huddled up in a corner.3) You used to be able to get those on a lanc... and it sucked. D1st0rt> while(it.age < 13) { hit(it); } quit(it);

This new gun will give basers more choice and break up the beam-spider monotony.modified how? it's already a high damage bouncing gun Plasma does less damage per second than Pulse and consumes more energy per second than pulse. Make it more like Disruptor. Currently, I would estimate that 0% of gun-oriented base defenders use Shrap Booster.Think about this for a second Shrap Booster used to be the exact type of gun I would like added. One last suggestion: make either TacNuke or Moab available on Lancaster.I dislike bomblining too much to support that idea OK, I want a second opinion then

James1293 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 i think that lanc should get a l2 bomb with 3 shrap greens so it doesnt outdo moab/tacnuke and doesnt break the "l3 only for levi" rule. moab and tacnuke are fine imo.

Once lanc has point defense... you won't need such an item for defending yourself, unless you just love bomblining with a lanc. 3
★ D1st0rt Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 luckily point defense wont work for bomblining in most cases _UU___UU__SSSSS____AAA____UU___UU__SSSSS____AAA____UU___UU_SS_______AAAAA___UU___UU_SS_______AAAAA___UU___UU__SSSSS__AA___AA__UU___UU__SSSSS__AA___AA__UU___UU______SS_AAAAAAA__UU___UU______SS_AAAAAAA___UUUUU___SSSSS_AA____AA___UUUUU___SSSSS_AA____AAJ.C.

Boldot Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 It wont shoot its guns while you shoot your bombs?Or am I misunderstanding how it will work? VIVE LE RESISTANCE! Mmm... Coffee
Sharpflame Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 You get stuck with the l1 no gun gun, which means shrapnel in your bombline is kinda useless or d1 means that you can't shoot your point defense lasers through a bombline? 3
James1293 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 doesnt pd aim at the nearest nme or something? so it wouldnt aim thru the bombline hole... right?

zephoid Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 the formula i gave brain for pd was for a targeting laser that would anticipate movement. from how i see, there is almost no way it will be able to know theres a wall between you and an enemy so it wont b that good in bases. im makin a center lanc and i think pd will b a fun addition to it. For plasma, i think it just needs its energy usage toned down ( 10-20 less per shot) a bit then it would b a good wep. i dont want it to the point that it can b spammed, but currently its almost useless everywhere. only orang ive seen use it well. im sick to death of pulse spiders in center and bases with the same configuration and doing well in both, its becoming too common and its killing my rush in bases and my wb in center. i keep having to go to my lanc and tank them out with ad and ie and antimatters and i really dont like doing that Zephoid b> evil.. are u friends with spacebot?

Sharpflame Posted August 18, 2007 Report Posted August 18, 2007 I enjoyed rushing bomblines more than gunlines in the hs that we had a few months ago, radiating coils need to be weakened probably so that bomblining becomes more of a habit 3
James1293 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Posted August 18, 2007 on the topic of armor, i think vertex should be on ships other than wzl unless there's a reason its only on wzl...?
