+---- Thread: Xeno Pulse cannon (/showthread.php?tid=11382)
Xeno Pulse cannon - Knucklehead - 08-18-2008
Something that was said in another thread somewhere got me thinking. It was mentioned that the Xenos don't have a shield breaking weapon to call their own, so how about a stolen Debilitator? Have it do about 3% less damage for the same percentage more power, but have a slightly better range.
The idea is that they managed to get their hands on a small number of Debilitators, but the pulse generators were damaged during the acquisition. They managed to get them working, but not exactly the way they were designed. The new pulse generators they cobbled together aren't as efficient as the originals, but they managed to create a more stable pulse.
Exact stats are up for debate, as is the name for the weapon. I was thinking maybe Brown Recluse, with a reddish-brown pulse effect.
For the record, I don't play as a Xeno. I just think it would be an interesting new development.

I'd support the idea and even be willing to work out some RP for it and maybe an event even could be staged.

' Wrote:Have it do about 3% less damage for the same percentage more power, but have a slightly better range.You do realize that less damage and more range is the exact opposite of normal Xeno weaponry, right?
Not arguing with the concept, just the stats.

have the pulse weapons so they are evenly matched with the speeds and ranges of the partical cannon

How about a shield buster that does really big shield damage but is really slow and short ranged like their widows?

How about Fiddleback? Thats another idea, anyways. I would say, Little less damage, Xeno range, and a little more power usage.

The Black Widow is a 4.00 refire gun, isn't it?

Yes and with a low velocity to boot. I'd like to see a 2.o refire buster with the same velocity and maybe even a smidge less range but that does like 2k shield--eating energy when fired.
Would be interesting.

D'oh, your talking about projectile speed, I was talking about firing speed. Nevermind. I am going to go to bed now.

2000 shield damage, 20 hull damage, 0.5 refire, 550 range, 600 m/s speed? Sounds like something the xenos would come up with.
