(outdated) Advanced Weapon Customizing Techniques

[ArcaneDude]

Actually, what you're doing now is a copy off of EriErin's Lunar Blaster Zwei.

As far as I know it's not possible to make tachyons explode. You could do something like hide a missile under it though. As ArcaneDude suggested, however, it's probably better to just use Eri's weapon.

[Samick]

Yeah I based of that weapon but the same thing happens

[SHAD0Wdump]

Swap the tachyon with a pulsar.

[Samick]

Pulsar doesn't really work that well. Is there way to prevent blasters from being intercepted?

[SHAD0Wdump]

What part of the pulsar are you concerned with?

If it is the starish/electrical effect,then I can understand.

But if it is the speed syncing you are worried about,just play with it and you'll get it right.Start by setting the acceleration time to one.

[Samick]

Tried that it doesn't match up the rail gun no matter what i do with it
Is there a method to make a bolt type that can't be intercepted?

[Arcalane]

No.

[Samick]

Right looks like its just gonna have to be a rail gun

You can set the burst high, that way it would take a fair deal of pd before dying. This would work as long as another weapon did the damage, because otherwise the damage would vary greatly depending on the amount of pd the ship has.

I find this method actually works quite well. One of my ships is supposed to have 6 main guns at 300 damage apiece, but they kept getting intercepted. With a burst of 3, damage of 100, and 0 deviation, the blasters get where they are going, and the target ship's PD was still useful in reducing the damage.

[Samick]

Is there a way to change the colour of the gosling?

[Slayer0019]

None that I know of. I wish. It would make my WMD/Wank-bomb look a lot cooler.

Eh, here's something I've created: Ionic Bombardment Laser

though idk if I should remove the pulsar or not >_>. The pulsar makes it look like the Electrolaser... which i just recently found out right after I finished >.<.

Code: Select all

weapon|ShockBeamer|45|-1|-1|600|7|-1|1000|0|0.50||16744448|40|-1|0|-1|-1|-1|0.80|0.80
weapon|MegaBeam|45|-1|-1|600|0.01|-1|1000|0|0.50||16777166|40|3|0.10|-1|-1|-1|0.80|0.80
weapon|Pulsar|45|1|100|600|3|-1|1000|0.40|0.50||12763781|200|0|0.10|38|100|1|2.20|2.20
weapon|MegaTachyon|45|-1|1|99999999|-1|-1|-1|-1|0.50||-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|1|1|1

It fires a nice solid laser (shockbeamer+megabeamer) with trails of energy (pulsar) following it. Once the beam ends, the energy building up along the way snaps and it flies off toward the enemy dealing last the minute damage.

The mega tachyon isn't necessary, but a giant pulsar with two beamers in the middle isn't appealing.

Another weapon, the Electrolaser:
<snip, image not needed anymore>

Code: Select all

weapon|Pulsar|45|0|300|300|20|-1|1000|0|1|Electrolaser|12026449|200|0|0.01|50|1|1|1|1
weapon|MegaBeam|45|0|1|300|0|-1|1000|0|1|Ion Projector|7031596|60|-1|0|-1|-1|-1|1|1

It may not look too special, but notice that it penetrates aegis (!). If you need a main gun that just keeps on going, regardless of the fact that your enemy has 80 deflector modules, the Electrolaser is the weapon of choice.

Look 2 pages back and you'll find something very similar to the weapon you just posted.

EDIT: Sorry about that, I managed to miss the line that said "The pulsar makes it look like the Electrolaser".
