Close combat weapons? (on hold) - Guest - 08-12-2009
Oddly enough, I don't have the time to find the screenshot, it was a interesting weapon, using one of the engine effects, resized to look like a blade of sorts: It had a range of 80-100m and had a quite the high damage, yet was limited to the hardpoint arcs on said ship.
While I dig up that screenshot, i would like your opinion on this. A high power antimatter "blade" for close combat: Imagine a fighter flying past a gunboat, leaving a deep, molten scar in the ship's armour plating...
imagine it. Then comment.

Make it a bomber weapon, And there you go

It would be overpowered as hell, but I don't care. Anything that is an alternative to the chase-the-tiny-bullseye-in-a-three-dimensional-target-range-while-spinning-in-a-washing-machine-while-the-other-player-warps-around-because-of-lag mechanic.

Basically it would be like Luke ducttaping his lightsabre on the side of his Xwing and went to joust the deathstar.

Gravitic imploder lance. That is what we need.
Don't know if it is scientifically sound, but FL isn't anyways. And this thing is awesome.

Make it so it just about fully drains power in three or four seconds of being on, so it can't just be spammed. I think that'd make it viable.

sounds cool, as long as its not so close that it causes rams

DRIVE ME CLOSER SO I CAN HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD!

To aid in imagining said weapon, stuff a Lib gunboat forward gun on a fighter, then wave it around a little.

How about some fighter-mountable close combat guns as well? Short-range weapon systems that work on a buckshot principle, for kids who can't aim good but want to do other things good as well.
