UNSC like weapons? - Raymond_Ames_Spruance - 02-23-2013
This is sort of a self explanatory.
Lets say all UNSC weapons or similar as can get to them. Are meant to hurt hull, as they are projectiles.
Bring in the 105, 120, and 125mm rotary cannons.
For some faster firing 50mm rotary cannons.
Archer missile pods. with archer missiles.
The Famous MAC cannon with different versions of course.
Make some small ones of cruisers and big ones for battleships.
Mac cannons would count as mortars, or you could make a new weapon class although the mac cannons require energy.
Not much to say here but hey I would love to see projectiles in the game that are shells it would be nice to see that into the game and see it get here!
Of course you would need some shield damaging weapons because the cannons would only do hull damage as we have established earlier.

UNSC? United Nations Space Command? O_o

Unsc?? And shells would require alot of work to do.

there is a halo mod somewhere that already has this. Doubt it is still being updated or if it is available somewhere but technically if someone wanted to mod it into the game wouldnt be that hard. it depends if you actually want the guns to use ammo (effectively making every gun a fake missile launcher) or just fire animations that look like bullets.
As far as disco using the weapons you suggested. Dont think that would be a great idea. Some halo weaponry (mac canon for example) is quite deadly and would insta a player (if they added accurate halo weaponry)

Why not come up with an idea more original or based in the freelancer universe? No need to keep bringing in from other sources
RE: UNSC like weapons? - TLI-Inferno - 02-24-2013
I think the idea of guns with improved hull damage and reduced shield damage using what at least appear to be bullets (even if they don't use ammo) is neat.
Would be a pretty cool alternative to other guns, with various designs just like the guns already have:
High damage, high range, low fire rate
High damage, low range, low fire rate
medium damage, medium range, medium fire rate
low damage, medium range, high fire rate
Etc, etc, just like guns already are, but with a satisfying "ping" bullet projectiles, increased hull damage, and decreased shield damage.
But not direct ripoffs from another game's universe.

Mac cannons damage depend on what you're using if you are in a cruiser or destroyer like type a mac would take 1-3 shots to kill someone.
While lets say you use a Battleship off course it would use 1-2 shots. But lets go back to what I said, make it take ALL your energy.

Rule is, no more imports. So nope, there won't be any Halo stuff put into Disco.

If it is fan made it is not a rip off, of course I did say or something similar I just want something that is Halo or that is at least bullet wise. I just thought Halo because of the 50mm the 105, 120, and 125mm and also a mortar weapon that would be bullet like, the MAC round.

I'm in support of extremely fast firing very low damage weaponry. Would be cool to have a FL version of a GAU-8 or GAU-4. Next up on the agenda is a command that lets us do victory rolls after a kill.
