Sure there is. Each gun lost is a loss of overall DPS. Spreading things over more guns total can mitigate your losses and keep you in the fight for longer. Plus you can set them up for better coverage without sacrificing too much power in a particular area.Kiltric wrote:Yes, you can use more than six if you really want to.
Practically speaking, it would be better to just use six and alter the damage and reload to affect the volume of fire, but I don't think there's any other reason to use more than six. I leave it up to you though.
This isn't necroing. On these forums, the rule for necroing is posting in a thread that has been inactive for more than a month.Wakerz wrote:ok not sure if this is considered necroing so im entirely prepared for rage posts then again theres no results, but if this isnt over id like to join, one more thing by basic blaster you mean the most standard gun right
Depends on build use. If you're not using a meta build, then more guns will work out better and flanking AI will be the order of the day. If you are, then one gun is perfectly viable because of target prediction/leading, and battles will be fairly even.Bad Boy wrote:That said wouldn't it be smartest, for 1v1 fights at least, to use 1 blaster placed on or near the core? Since both ships have the same stats flanking is nigh impossible and having one blaster would mean fewer missed shots. With no railguns or anything with splash, there's no worry of the weapon being destroyed before the section it's on. Also, every two or three shots would kill a section, cutting through a ship more quickly rather than spreading the damage around and wearing it down slowly.
That is true, I completely forgot about the infinite circle ai thing - it's been ages since I've actually done 1v1 ship battles (or any ship battles for that matter). A low ai range might stop that from happening, though I recall it doing little when I tried it, mainly because the ai could never seem to figure out how to move sideways And obey its ai range. Otherwise yeah, more guns are probably more useful since it'll allow you to actually shoot while infinite circling.Arcalane wrote:Depends on build use.

Even if being outflanked is impossible, if both ships are flanking they could spend the entire match going in circles around each other. Without leading, it's very possible that a lot of their shots will miss.
Too bad you mentioned that bit because otherwise I can think of what may be a pretty decent way to get a full 360 turret without editing arc range at all.Kiltric wrote:Do you mean for a turret or something? Sure. The more creative people get, the better this tournament will be, I think.
As long as it doesn't break the rule in half, I'm all for it.
Don't forget, you can change the sprites of the guns if you so desire.Wakerz wrote:alright my ships done an here's a pic of it FTW! TO VICTORY...n' stuff
