BHG cap-weapons concept - Colonel Z.e.r.o. - 07-08-2008
1. They might be more effective for anti aircraft too. Seeing how (as I've been told) the game engine requires 2 shots minimum to destroy a fighter and shield 1 hit know the shield 2 begin on the hull.
2. Agreed house turrets should be 2x barreled also.
3. You should (unless I'm looking at it wrong) increase the projectile size a bit. Or you can instead use the projectile from the ONYX codename weapon so the look a bit more like an original BH turret concept.

Posting sugguestion:
Never ever ever use .png files when you're posting to the web. Convvert to jpeg, gif, or tga. I've got a pretty standard speed and that took DECADES to load those photos. (BG Reason: .png has no compression, everything else does).
I'm sure double barrelled weapons were left out due to sounds issues. Might be wrong...

I disagree with Houses getting to use this.
At least this uniqueness will give the BH something of their own.
Even though its firing 2 shots, both shots will impact at the same time because of the game engine.
This makes it equal to a single hit by a weapon that does 2x the damage.

More factions should get these.
But why can't you make a new effect instead of just recycling old effects? Just take the buckshot effect and make it look slightly more powerful, just the way the effect changes from Justice mark 1 and up to vengeance and on every other weapon.
And while we're on the subject, does anyone have a tutorial for changing weapon effects/stats and the like? It's been a while since my editing days.
EDIT: Raekurs right, try firing all your guns at a starflier. Only the shield if they hit at the same time. so the double barrels are just for pretties.

Sound works perfectly on my models, and yes, i hope only BH and maybe 1 or 2 other factions gettin 2
barreled. BHs should have at least something thats so to say unique.
New effect:

Hard to see, but it looks they have hardly any trail
Good, they seem more frigthening in a way then. Really like the effect and yes, that sound is perfect.

Double barrels capships guns? Finally, some icons should match up at least:laugh:
I like these weapons, I have never really come across custom double barrel turrets before. I like them, the Buckshot is a good touch, BHG style.
I vote for them to be implemented in the future.
I must learn how to make weapons, I got a tutorial stashed somewhere.:yes:
Great work!:yes:

As long as these weapons are not as powerful as the order versions, I'm fine with the BHG getting their own.
Compare the number of BHG capships to order capships. We're outnumbered a dozen to one, and of that dozen on the BH side, it's very likely that only one even knows what "RP" means.
I'm tired of BHG battleships and battlecruisers taking a trip through order systems going "lolwut? die order!" "lolz pwnt"
