Re: Weapons and Tech of the War For The Universe
I think the main drawback of kinetic weapons would be low shot speed. Damage might be mid/subpar (to reflect advanced armour) but range good. Average-to-high accuracy. Magnetically accelerated weapons would trade this for slower reload/refire times. I've added a spreadsheet link to the foreword. Bal...

Re: Down with Space Triangles! PACIV Fleet (V2)
Indigo lasers aren't even a thing that exist. HorseMonster was quite specific about this.
Perhaps you meant Violet. Violet is better than Indigo. Indigo lasers are hilariously crap.

Re: Weapons and Tech of the War For The Universe
Well, nothing's stopping you guys from writing your own bits up and PM'ing them to me so I can add them to the first post, or just flat-out editing them in if you have moderator privs. I'm not psychic/all-knowing. Haven't had time to look at the commonwealth/coalition yet either.

Re: Weapons and Tech of the War For The Universe
It's a work in progress. Also, whilst there are basic stats for beam weapons, I don't think anyone uses them extensively. Likewise, I haven't seen anyone making much use of kinetic weaponry beyond rockets/missiles/torpedoes.

Weapons and Tech of the War For The Universe
FOREWORD This thread is an attempt to properly define and explain the various weapons seen on Laser Wars ships! Actual stats can be found here . LASERS By far the most prevalent weapon system in the known galaxy, these lasers are not true laser weapons, but are used by most factions due to their si...

'NZA'
Little is known about these vessels or their owners. They bear little in the way of identifying markings, or any attempt to denote ownership. They are slow to maneuver, yet turn quickly. They are extremely durable, almost to the point of being invulnerable. In their death throes, they unleash a seri...

Re: Shipbuilding gudelines
I strongly recommend keeping lasers (well, blasters) as the baseline weapon. Factions should pick one colour (red, yellow, green, blue, or violet) as their primary laser type, stats per this spreadsheet . It also contains data for missiles, prototype beam stats, and ASDF/Kebb/GORE/SAR/Novian/Mior sh...

Re: War for the Universe - planning and discussion
Try paying attention to the various announcements and stickies around the forum. Now, back on topic. Something else to consider for balance-- 'Overall' tech level. Look at Laser Wars. All the Kebb and ASDF had, until I introduced missiles/torpedoes with the GORE, was lasers. No autocannons, no artil...

Re: War for the Universe - planning and discussion
I am idly considering setting up a seperate forum just so there's a neat place for this to be discussed and ship records can be stored easily without being lost in the rest of the Custom Ships forum. Anyway, my thoughts on balance-- First things first, decide which build you're using and which featu...

Re: The Galactic Rim Republic(WFTU hopefully...)
If you want to beat these ships load up on point defense so their BFG's won't hit (they don't shoot very often at ALL) and stay away form the machine guns so as not to overwhelm the point defense. For the purpose of balance/combat simulation, I believe most people are still using the meta1/meta2 bu...

Re: War for the Universe - planning and discussion
It should be worth keeping in mind that the closer you get to the center of our galaxy, the larger and older the stars get. Which means more and more inhospitable.
That 'dead zone' isn't just for looks.

Re: War for the Universe - Alliances
No faction would ever believe itself to be evil. Ever. Even the Nazi's thought they were carrying out the will of God. Now please, I mean PLEASE, stop soiling our nifty little setting with stupid ideas. Things were pretty much doomed the moment everyone and their grandmother jumped on the damn band...
