weapons modifications

[nebulou]

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 fire

No shrapnel

 

One last suggestion: make either TacNuke or Moab available on Lancaster.

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.

modified how? it's already a high damage bouncing gun

 

Currently, I would estimate that 0% of gun-oriented base defenders use Shrap Booster.

Think about this for a second

I dislike bomblining too much to support that idea

Plasma does less damage per second than Pulse and consumes more energy per second than pulse. Make it more like Disruptor.

Shrap Booster used to be the exact type of gun I would like added.

OK, I want a second opinion then

Uhh? did you not read my post?

wallbombing is gay

Whichever staff deleted my classic post is re!@#$%^&*ed. Identify yourself so the other staff will know!

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.

[»D1st0rt]

luckily point defense wont work for bomblining in most cases

[Boldot]

It wont shoot its guns while you shoot your bombs?

Or am I misunderstanding how it will work?

[Sharpflame]

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?

[James1293]

doesnt pd aim at the nearest nme or something? so it wouldnt aim thru the bombline hole... right?

[zephoid]

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

lol zeph

[Sharpflame]

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

on the topic of armor, i think vertex should be on ships other than wzl unless there's a reason its only on wzl...?
