#3) Class 10 Uber-Guns

There are 44 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by SWAT_OP-R8R.

    If you're with me so far, we've gotten rid of Boosters, AND we've reduced the effects of Bats & Bots.


    Guess what? we don't need Uber weapons anymore. Let's face it, ask ANY veteran player out there what weapons they mount and there's really only two choices for primary weapons - the "Uber-Guns" = PPCs and Coali gatlings.


    There's a TON of really cool class 9 weapons out there that go totally un-used because the Uber-guns are so much better.


    Sure, they are expensive and hard to get, but again, getting enough money is only a matter of time and every veteran player has enough time and money to get them, so everyone uses them.


    Wouldn't it be more interesting if you went into a PVP not knowing for sure what kind of primary weaps your opponent would have? Some may have slow firing heavy hitters while others might choose high rate of fire gatling-type weapons. Right now this doesn't happen. I bet that 9 out of 10, if not all 10 of the players you face will mount one of the two Uber-guns.


    Get rid of them...since everyone doesn't have Boosters, you don't NEED Uber-Guns to PVP anymore.

    that are no uber guns and they wont be removed



    but maybe you want to explain the players on the server the need for a char whipe again

    discussions about the mod are allowed... ideas are welcome


    but if they will ever be reality always depends on how they fit into what is planned for the next versions of a mod

    Hubris: I guarantee you will never know what to expect on my ships when I come around, because all 10 of them have different loadouts, precisely because they all have different roles in my fleet, and to maximize the use of the many combinations possible. I don't want to have any less options than I do now... :D

    @CA, that's really cool!


    Tell me about your pure fighters? what weapons besides PPCs or Coali Gatlings have you found that make for good primary weapons? Cuz I've been looking all over, I've tried Nomad guns - too slow 600m/s can't keep up. I've tried Named weapons - most of them have a refire rate of 2 and the ones that are 3.03 usually only do around 650 dmg.


    I'd sincerely love some other suggestions for how to load out a combat fighter...are there any weapons that I haven't found that have at least a refire rate of 4.00 that stand a chance against PPCs?

    Learn to use missiles, for one, and there are a bunch of interestin Coalitions weapons in Altair...you should visit there sometime. I'm partial to the Vulcan battery and collapser guns, personally...along with a variety of missiles [11]

    I used to use coalie gattlings back when they were rather uber in 1.6. Since then though I use codename weps. They add a unique touch to a pilots ship and accents a very personallized combat style. I'm glad that there are so many of them. Each pilot ought to be able to find some that fit their preferances :D.

    LOL! well, I wasn't going that far...although, a pea, accelerated to a respectable velocity would do a lot of damage...remember it would be frozen solid :)

    A fleck of paint can go through the side of a space station at hypersonic speeds.... now imagine if you will a pea encased in some sort of metal fired from a railgun at a similar velocity... [rofl] (better get insurance on that VHF)

    Hubris (over weening pride hmmmmmmm) Your ideas have merit but none of the players on the server would go for another character wipe as Op said.


    @Blood: easy there big fella, he is just voicing some ideas. And they are not stupid, they just wont be put into effect because it would be a reverse evolution for the mod and nobody will stand for a char wipe.

    Char whipe? Here is my truthy and right answer on this topic. Umm lets c Char whipe. I had taken umm lets say 500hours out of my summer to get lets say 1bill dollars to lets say make my armory. To make a nice char with good ship and guns. Ok my anwser is u think about it. Get back to me if u can please.

    Dragon wing, Dragon Corps rank Lieutenant Colonel, CSF, DC chars: DC_John_Donow[T], (DC)_John_Donow(Lt.Col), DC_JD, DC_[Lt. Col]_Donow

    Lol, read the whole thread m8s. OP said they'd be a charwipe if we removed the guns that Hubris thought we oughtn't have. We all know that we aren't going to have any features removed, so it's really not something worth fussing over :P.

    Most of the lvl 9 coal weapons are similar to the lvl 9 sirius weps. For example, the Vulcan Battery and the Kraken Type II are the same. Not even the effect of the projectiles and their stats are changed. The only difference is their names and info blog. It is the same with the Callopser Gun and the Firekiss MK II... So it doesn't worth to fight your way throught hordes of aliens to Altair for them, if you can get the similar weapons in X or Nephele...
