Close combat weapons? (on hold)

[Boss]

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.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

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.

yeah...ill have a thought on this, ill provide updates when I think up a solution.

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

[Exsiled_one]

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
