Ballistic Weapons for Capital Ships - Titan* - 05-28-2016
So i was thinking about ballistic weapons for very long time so I decided to create ballistic weapons for Discovery
Battleships (even npcs) can damage Cruisers from 2-2.2k Range easly, You need luck to hit Cruisers with heavy ballistic weapons though
About Ballistic Weapons;
High Dispersion (Spread)
High reload time
Long Range
High Speed
Very slow turret turn speed
So I made nearly 10 ballistic weapons for capital ships
For Cruisers;
For Battleships;
![[+]](/forums/images/collapse_collapsed.png "[+]")
SpoilerHere is video
This one is old though, now projectiles have higher speed and higher spread
Battleship
Cruiser
Npc vs Player, currently veterans (cruisers) dont take damage from NPC battleship but with ballistic weapons you do take damage even at 2k
Artillery Hit Effect
what you guys think?

Looks and sounds good, but it neutralizes many advantages that "evasion-ships" have. It also turns Freelancer into World of Warships, which is good if you can't run WoWs, but bad if you want to play Freelancer.
I'm not sure of it. Like and dislike.

Yeah it neutralizes invincibility, good for newbies bad for veterans

This looks really cool, although I echo Thunderer's thoughts.

I would like to see gatling solarises to be given 1000 ammo and have their damage doubled. They would outright tear through snubs that get close, but at the expense of a very limited ammo capacity given the refire rate and turret count.

AWESOME! I swear that would be genius. I mean the GB turrets have spreading, why not Cap guns too? Definitly, would be a ncie ballance imho.
EDIT: Thing was just the names lol guys realy don't judge it because of thos 180mm or 50mm, he editted that part now it looks more Freelancer than ever.

I like it , especially :
Quote:Battleship Point-Defence Turret (Secondary Slot) - Good anti-snub weapon very high fire rate but very short range (good at damaging snubs that trying to bump battleship)
^ it is about time something like this to be implemented !
