Close combat weapons? (on hold) - Boss - 08-13-2009
Bah. These are nothing to my 7-SNAC 'Claw on Xelg's server.
I do, however, like the idea, since I might have a sporting chance at staying alive in a fight with them.

dunno has it been mentioned, i read main post and saw it insantly...
RAMMING, constant RAMMING. NO:(

Yeah, after a swift test on my server it turned out that it indeed will result in ramming.
The weapon was a modded Justice mkII with 40m range, 40k damage, 600 energy consumption and 16 refire.
Ate your powerplant as a charm, hard to aim, all is good and dandy, but you actaully needed to be THIS CLOSE to be able to hit anything.

actually you know what, i have an idea for you, since you seem to be modding and whatnot.
Can it be possible to mount something as a tractor beam / scanner / id, that starts to drain the power of the ship once you're close to the said ship.
I'm not sure how to handle this but what i had in mind is that, for example, it mounts on CD slot and it drains enough power so few bombers can drain out a cruiser after minute of thrusting around less than 200m around him.
Maybe his shield needs to be down or something, but somehow i find it weird that there's no power draining weapons except tizona in this game and that's a damn shame.
With this included, piracy could extend to the battleships and whatnot =)
sorry to hijack your thread but eh.. brainstorm?

Sure, I can try that

win! let me know how it goes. Maybe mines work too?
Something like EMP.
Can something drain the thruster out?
\o/

Id say no because of all the ramming that will be introduced because of it. But nice idea nevertheless sindroms
