point defence weapons

[weylin]

-Defensive laser

an anti missile/torpedo weapon that would be short ranged, say 400m but would have a speed that would make it reach its target instantly. The weapon would have very little damage and would be suited only for taking out projectiles.

refire could be around 1.00 or 0.75


-Projectile screen

This would be a weapon that fires energy based missiles that do little to no damage at all.
This device would have a VERY high refire rate, and the projectile itself would be a large bulky object.
When fired in a scatter pattern, the sceen could protect from most projectiles comming from that direction.



This might allow for a support role of some type... perhaps a way for fighters to defend there escort.

The projectile screen?

The server is already laggy....

Er the projection screen would be a nightmare for any close range ships. Plus swarms of missiles at high refire tend to cause some issues with lag, only when you reach a certain limit though.

Suggested before, high refire weapons kills the server. The old purple goddess I heard had a 33 refire rate. Server died.

Cruise Disruptors (Especially Train CD) are already excellent anti-missile/torpedo missiles. Just because it's skill-based and uses ammo there is no other point defence weps needed.

1 refire rate is hardly high, with about 1 second lifespan it doesn't really lag up the server... But that's a big BUT does it work?... and what's wrong with the CD?

Jure the refire rate comments were about this:

I was just about to do the same as you when I read it over again >.<

For the projectile screen have an extremely low damage large explosion range missile, then automatically detonates at 100m.

That would be less laggy.

You mean a Train CD except with a range limit?
