Power Cell Blaster MkII

Jan 09, 2023 We all float link
Manu Item. Causes damage and drains the target's power cell. Has a unique pulsing color between red and green.

Drain: 40
Damage: 150
Velocity: 215
Lifetime: 3.6s
Energy: 14/blast
Delay: 0.16 s
Mass: 350 kg
Grid: 16
Targeting: 2.6

New Corvus weapon. Requires same tree as the Ultra Posi, but is a manu item. Requires rare queen drops. Using hive tech, corvus has developed a weapon that combines power draining weapon systems with tech that causes damage as well.

Pros: Being able to damage a target and drain the target of their energy at the same time is a great tool in specific kinds of engagements. Life time of this item is longer than a standard pcb, so it has increased range.

Negatives: Because it is a hybrid weapon, both the drain and damage are low. It has a high grid, so only one of these can be equipped. It is small port, so a capship can not equip (unless a turreted version is introduced). The targeting capabilities were nerfed to increase range and keep the mass low.

Because of the negatives, pilots will have to fly in teams to make the weapon worthwhile.

Hmmm might be interesting at the same time I'd rather see less PCB AA induced facehugging.

at least it doesn't only weight 100kg that said if it's got gat turret AA with those stats it's going to be an annoying force to be reckond with.

-1. We should be looking at reducing PCBs not adding them. I always thought of VO as a combat game, not a 'catch and kill' game.

I agree, which is why i gave this suggestion the same auto aim as the small port rail guns.

I always thought of VO as a combat game, not a 'catch and kill' game.

The description of the game states:

"The thriving and complex economy of the galaxy makes many opportunities for traders, miners and smugglers alike."

And the front page says:



VO has combat, yes, but it not pure arena combat game. There are many ways to play it.

Yes, many ways to play, but it's becoming just a 'catch and kill' game.
