So

[massdriver]

which Freelancer VHF gun will be the first in my next techdemo video? weapon code is almost finished and now its time to make FXs and its model this weekend, now go tell me which one or it will be an ultra lame beer barrel gun

But beer barrel guns sound cool. The Rheinlanders could use a few. Can they shoot out beer steins as well?

Maybe make an upgraded Kraken, Buckshot, Black Widow or Sunrail particle cannon based on this model: http://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/weapon...atling-gun

Fast refire so that the particles join together in a wave. Obviously energy-intensive. Less damage per fire.

Could be a buff of the Purple Goddess as well, if you want to go civilian.

Or you could come up with a particle cannon for a different faction, like the Order, LH, Gaians, Hogosha, Mollys, etc. Then you could play with a different set of colors (and keep it class 9).

Is that what you're looking for? What exactly is this weapon code you are working on?

but what about ammo? beer barrels are huge in volume

currently I need to make next things:

-> gun model
-> gun projectile fx
-> projectile hit fx
-> launch and hit sounds

as for refire rate, well free universe fighters will have 2-3 guns + some external missiles, high damage output, but less refire rate (max 5.33 in fl terms), this is a nice way to reduce server load and lags since less info about projectiles should be synced over net, which is a critical moment in a 100 player battle for example

A gun for that manta model you made. I vote for the buckshot. Blue particles of death.

maybe, when I finish texture paint

as for first gun, Im looking for an Order Reaper 9lvl quite nice sound and easy to make particle fx

Sounds awesome.

Now I have a clearer idea of what you're doing with this project.

Everyone likes a high-refire gun, but setting limits is wise. And I really do love particle weapons, so more variations would be awesome (even though Reaper is neutron, right?)

I would tweak Scumbag's suggestion a little bit and give the Order a version of the Buckshot.

oh wait, neutron is a particle isnt?

So, this may or may not be relevant to the topic but, I'd like to see the Zoner line turrets re-done. All of our ships are some shade of gray, but our turrets are all brown.
