Arc, would it be possible to have a homing railgun or a homing plasma? (Or railgun plasma, goes in a few sections then explodes)

Post by **Arcalane** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 1:22 am

The former; probably not.

The latter; probably yes.

The latter in brackets; no, that was already asked for by Danny. Admittedly I told him it wouldn't work only in IRC, but still.

Vulcan Cannon

A gattling-style cannon that fires a stream of tungsten slugs. Needs a few shots to "spin up" to full speed, and then maintains that speed until it overheats and needs a few seconds to cool down.

Thanks for the idea Cycerin

EDIT: Improved Particle Rifle bolt.

ArcaneDude · Post by **ArcaneDude** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 1:10 am

Would it be possible to develop a weapon that acts like an Ori beam weapon? It's really just a bolt, but elongated, and it acts like a beam would on impact. Bolt beam, beam bolt, w/e.

Some info on the Ori beam weapon;

At the start of the shot

Impact behavior

I'll see if I can find a video of it on youtube.

EDIT; found it.

EDIT2; it starts firing on 0:34 or 0:35.

Hmmm, I'm going to post up some weapons, some possible, some not, but I tried to go for original stuff...

1) Tesla Cannon: Okay, I LOVE electricity. It'd be a simple beam, only it'd look like electricity coursing from the gun to the target... However, it'd be all the more awesome if this was an actual CURVY beam, which can curve a number of degrees, this is left vague because how the curving would work isn't really popping in my mind...

2) Flamethrowers: Hell, explain it however you desire

It'd come down to an expanding, translucent-ish blob... That way, you get a cone-effect, much like a flamethrower. You'd control the growth rate in the Edit menu, of course.

3) Rod Gun: Not particularly original, but come on, where's the big Tungsten darts to throw at eachother? They're fun

It'd be a simple projectile, really, unless me or whomever can do something new with the idea ;3

4) Boomerang Drivers: A more curvy, rotating Driver projectile, which starts to turn back at a predetermined spot, so it might strike the enemy in the hiney. Might go all Weasel on him too by skipping over Deflectors.

5) Siege Blaster: Fires a meteorite at the target... Even more fun if it can split... Maybe make this a split missile instead? Fly towards target, split when closed in, or something...

6) Mine layer module. A module, it sets powerful mines which detonate when the enemy comes in range. Not too hard to explain, really...

7) Explosive Nano-bots: think Demeter Pod... Now, remove the Demeters and add a fine mist of small nano-bots laden with explosives... If a weapon or module fires when in this area... KABOOM! There goes the neighborhood.

8) Time Stop. Because Aegis Whores deserve to be pwned by freezing everything except the ship firing the gun... It will not do damage to sections during the period time stands still, but all damage is applied RIGHT AS TIME SPEEDS UP AGAIN... It's strong... But especially effective to bust Aegis.

9) Module idea... A shockbeamer, only on steroids. It slowly gathers energy, until you fire, which spends all energy. Every point of energy thus spent increases damage, duration and range(?) by some editable amount, as well as the width...

10) Raking wheel: a melee weapon. Starts spinning up when the enemy comes close, a glowy energy wheel forming around it which damages the enemy when touched.

11) Not so much a weapon idea as an idea for weapon behaviour: a weapon bank that can accept a number of weapons, and you can input a pattern the weapons fire in.

12) Hmmm, a decent non-ugly bubble shield would be soooo useful...

13) A smaller Vulcan cannon would also look look: they're ECKS BAWCKS HUEG right now.

14) Chaff, 'nuff said.

15) With chaff, we need a bigger homing threat, too... Injector Bombs spring to mind... They cling to the victim, sending in a lethal coctail of nanites and micro-organisms to corrode the hull and kill all biological entities inside.

16) Spiraling beams, just for the kewlness.

I'll edit this as I think of more ridiculousness...

Note the red dot in the nuke flash anim is a placeholder mark and easily removed.

I also have the zips for the png files, as well as those of a truly huge number of sprite sheetz. Needs moar filehoast!

Just discovered the Tacnuke explosion size var is radius, not diameter. Lulz ensued.

See I always thought it was radius too but I asked a couple of people in the chat and they were like "oh no it's diameter".

Anyway, blame th15, it's his code, not mine.

Fab idea Danny. Can PD have their own interceptability?

Post by **Arcalane** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:27 am

I somehow doubt this, but it may be possible.
