The only concern I would have is the unoriginallity of one of the names (I know, big dea :P). The pulse weapon line of the Corsairs contains the Rapier and Tizona del Cid. You need to find a new name for the next weapon. El Cid was a Spanish hero if I'm not mistaken (and tizona is sword), so I'm not sure how "al Sayyid" would be topping that in a Spanish-influenced weapon line...you'd need to go to a more grandiose level for a good name (don't ask me for suggestions though ^^). Otherwise the ve…

nm (btw, the rate of refire is too good on the Skywrecker. It ought to be .5 to compensate for the massive damage; also, this would allow the pilot to recharge their power a little longer between shots).

I use codename weps because they're eyecandy, not because I think they're better than other guns (Coalition Gattling is still a superweapon). Adding the new guns would help new players get good guns, and therefore put a demand on veterans to fight with skill to overcome their opponents rather than superior equipment

Quite '^.=.^'

Just because an idea doesn't go over well with you doesn't mean that it's a bad one. The idea to having power-guzzling guns is that people wouldn't be able to shoot as long in PvP and an even broader range of weapons to chose from to fit their personal fighting style. With some of these porposed weapons you could only let off a few shots and then be forced to back off of your opponent until you have enough power to get back in the fight. It'd be good for encouraging strategy and unique fighting…

The gattling was brought down, but there are still some things to be worked out with it (it still packs a whallop and some believe it performs better than the stats suggest). One mustn't leave out the codenames in this discussion though. There are more than 10 types of Lv 10 gun and all people ever talk about are gattlings and PPC. People must realize there are a lot of heavy-hitting guns, you just have to go out and find them (it'll save you millions on cost, btw).

Imao it all comes down to skill. I use codename weps and I almost never loose to anyone sporting all gattling or PPC loadouts. It's about learning how to use the weapons you have, how to lead the appropriate distance, and how to evade your enemies. Having the best guns helps, but in the end it's the better sharpshooter who wins the day. [wayne]

As a random thought, I remember in 1.6 how the Coalition Gattlings looked really cool on their hardpoints. I was wondering if gats would be better off with that old look, a doubled refire rate, and half the range?

They still do lag the server. It's the sound effect imao.

I like the BS turret concepts... I hope they will be realized.

Any chance of us getting our hands on Order Turrets and the oh-so-mighty Small Miner Turrets?

I'd like to point out that if missiles stats were about halfway between that of CDs and torps their use would still be limited. It can cost more than 500k to reload if you empty your hardpoints. For most of the all-fight, no-trade players this would bankrupt them in just a few weeks. Having it be such though would add realism to the weapons and add incentive for taking missions against NPCs and exploring the sectors for good trade routes. The more money the player has to use to succeed, the bet…
