' Wrote:Sounds nice. Seems like a massive plasma grenade launcher. Could really change how group fights operate.
For example: Two ships are jousting each other in a group fight. Both have their shields down. Someone fires one of these babys into the middle of the group. They both die. Friendly fire would happen alot but thats the risk.
Im sort of 1/2:mellow:1/2:yes:about it.
Yeah, it'd require to be used with great care, hehe.
The more I think about it the more I like it - fighters are only vulnerable to fighters. Why not make them very vulnerable for a artillery barrage, just like infantry is vulnerable to artillery in RL. Special task forces would rise with time, who are capable of flanking these units with great skills.
House factions would have the most powerful artillery units but other factions could have some more specilized artillery units, with different type of ammo, higher fire rate, or greater range or something.
What's also so great? No other FL server would have anything like this.
Edit: it would be essential that the artillery shot is followed by a very unique sound which makes people "head to cover" when they hear it. Just like in RL. I've lived few years in a "mild" war zone when I was kid. Sound of incoming projectile really gives you chills.
