Question about BSF(Weapons section)

Post by thenoobiebuilder »

I have an idea about a new awesome weapon perfect for one of my ships.

It would be a shrapnel shell that when it gets a certain distance away from the target
splits into thousands of mini bomblets that then impact the target.

Since this is space combat it fits in perfectly as you do much more dmg per shell and
can use it to take out both massive targets and really small targets like fighters.

Is there some way to do that?(IE can you change the spirits of the missiles the MIRV spawns?)

I want it to accually look like bomblets and not huge mini missles but I might be able to live with the minis if needed.
I am a fan of the "Push F to fire everything" idea.

I really don't know why I'm thinking these thoughts,
but I do know they aren't mine...

You're kind of an idiot, aren't you?

I'll leave this question for someone else to answer because I don't think you're worth wasting an explanation on. Perhaps someone else will take pity on you and tell you how it's done, because I'm such a big meany.

Me too, man! I wish there was a way to change MIRV submunition spirits too. It's like, totally impossible right now. I checked. Yep, can't change those fucking spirits.

It's a functionality I'm waiting for in BSF2, along with every single weapon idea that crosses my mind.

God, I wish I could change those spirits and make MIRV missiles give birth to dead babies. Maybe I should stop being a sockfucking retard and search the ED2 tab for the "Custom Submunition Spirit" option one more time and-- wait.

Anna being a mod doesn't mean you get a "Free Flame" card.
If you do not like my lack of knowledge on the subject then educate me.


The question states I want to build the idea specified.
It does not state that I only want that idea.
It only implies that I want it that way.
But I also said that any other way would do as long as it works.

I'll will try to use the auto-cannon tonight.
Hope it works

I donno man, do MIRVs have spirits?
I thought they weren't living things.

Can't blame him for pointing out the obvious.

Sadly, it does. You should hear him on IRC.

Although we know that Anna is kinda trollish, he has his reasons. He's probably just pissy because of the fact that the information you want was right in front of you and thinks that you didn't bother looking or didn't look closely enough. He's also already predisposed to you because of previous ... encounters.

You really should look things up before asking them.
However, your idea is just a small variation of the autocannon except for the split happening before the impact. It's too complex for something that's already there.
Spoiler!

I beg to differ. Anna was not flaming/trolling/doing anything wrong. TNB is an idiot. We all know it. I mean seriously, he didn't even cuss him out!
TNB; how old are you anyways? Cause even I, who we all know is clumsy and quite forgetful (I had to read starstruck's post twice to figure out he was being sarcastic), knew this immediately.
