.... should be a large port weapon.

This is the weapon that heavy ships need. Actually, it should be a turret, like the adv gat.

Frigate cannon (L-port)
12000 credits
whatever specs it has

Frigate Turret (L-port)
42000 credits
whatever specs it has

The money is enough that it would not nerf the adv gat, but gives the oomph needed to the Rag, Prom, and Centuar. Imagine sticking two of these things on a Centuar. All of a sudden, heavy ships are balanced again!!!!

The frigate turret is the adv gatling, about 5 of them, in a nice small compact weapon.

O.O

Mommy.

The frigate turret does ~1200 damage per shot. It's other stats are identical to the Advanced Gatling, except it is a small-port weapon. So, here's your stats:


Frigate Cannon (L-Port)
Cost: 12000c
Damage per Shot: 1200
Velocity: 180 m/s
Energy: 12e/shot
Repeat 0.1s (10 shots/second)
Autoaim: Low

Frigate Turret (L-Port)
Cost: 42000
Damage per Shot: 1200
Velocity: 180m/s
Energy: 12e/shot
Repeat: 0.1s (10 shots/second)
Autoaim: Very Good




Here's some stats:

--DAMAGE PER SECOND--
Tachyon Blaster: 4000 damage/second
Gauss Cannon: 2400 damage/second
Sunflare Rocket Launcher: ~1500 damage/second (acceleration affects dps)
Gatling Cannon: 4000 damage/second
Advanced Gatling Turret: 4000 damage/second
Screamer Rocket Launcher: ~4285 damage/second (acceleration affects dps)
Frigate Cannon: 12000 damage/second
Frigate Turret: 12000 damage/second

--DAMAGE PER SECOND PER CREDIT--
Tachyon Blaster: 0.8dps/c
Gauss Cannon: 1.1dps/c
Sunflare Rocket Launcher: 0.8dps/c
Gatling Cannon: 1.8dps/c
Advanced Gatling Turret: 0.25dps/c
Screamer Rocket Launcher: 0.82dps/c
Frigate Cannon: 1 dps/c
Frigate Turret: 0.28 dps/c

Yay for balanced weapons... Well, at least its dps/c ratio is fairly balanced... So let's favour the rich and give them uberguns!

No, rogue, you favor the people in the heavy ships. Duh. :P

Heavy ships are ment to 0wn y0u 4ll! ...or something like that.

SC. your proposed weapon does 3 times the damage of -any- other gun, plus has the best autoaim, the fastest refire rate and low energy consumption. Let me get out my Frigate Warthog now...

bah, who said u cant nerf it a bit? Dont be so narrow minded

Notice, rogue, in my other thread, I would propose making the Hog's L port a medium port.

The thing is, a frigate cannon is just a small port adv gat with 3x the damage. So "nerfing it" would probably result in an adv gat. Ya know?

frigate blaster, and frigate turret... hmm

-io

/me cowers in a corner, back you beast back, back to s16 with you, sooo many! tooo many! cant breath!

I see little wrong with it... if defbots can't hit me with it, why should you? :P

Xorbital, that's because the defbots are MORONS. This gun has a better autoaim then the adv gat turret (or so they say). Have you ever been hit with one of those?

The defbots have the mind of a monkey.
