Flack Guns Suck

[Prysin]

give flak guns 3.03 refire and 2-3k less damage
increase range by 200m (effective range)
reduce energy a little and buff projectile speed with 50

thats it...
effective, yet not too effective. energy consuming is way higher. so you must shoot in bursts..

Would be effective against swarms or single bombers... but ineffective against 2 or 3 bombers as they would be spacing out between themselves alot more making you unable to effectively kill or fend off more then 1 at a time

While SNAC still outranges it... so only noob jousting bombers snacing at -800m or so is affected.

Adding 200m means you can also shoot it from the back of a juggi and it will reach about 100m(?) infront on the ship before going "poof"


so.... adding this to the zoner turret stats (as thats the only "basic" flak pirates can get)

CURRENT:

Owner: Zoners
Weapon Class: 10
Hull Damage: 9,100
Shield Damage: 4,550
Range: 1,000 m
Projectile Speed: 350 m/s
Refire Rate: 1.00
Energy Usage: 310,000
Explosion Radius: 125 m


IMPROVED:

Owner: Zoners
Weapon Class: 10
Hull Damage: 6,100
Shield Damage: 3,850
Range: 1,200 m
Projectile Speed: 400 m/s
Refire Rate: 3.03
Energy Usage: 290,000
Explosion Radius: 125 m

new Energy/hull damage/shield damage consumption / seconds

Energy/second: 878,700
Hull Damage/second: 18,483
Shield damage/second: 11,665

That is.... just above a gunboat razor in terms of shield.... less range, less speed.. a tad less hull and about 7.64086957 times the energy of a gunboat razor


Unfair? some might say so, but i say; if you want to use a bomber against a cap, be aware that they might aswell have something up their sleave.

This will make small ships like... Osirisbby dread/bret BS (its small compared to the big ones) pretty much overpowered against a bomber... but they already are overpowered with solarises, so wont be much of a difference.

Big ships, like my juggernought/sarissa will have more use of these... making the turrets effective for larger caps, yet not so effective that it gets ridiculous.
