New weapons would be cool, i'd like to see new weapon effects to go on the old weapons as well, or the new ones. Whatt good is a new weapon if it doesn't look good in the bargain?

I was replying to Jeng.
Explosions are uber hard to do. Thats not our focus. I have made two new primary cannons for Sol forces and were debating on any new weapons for the GTVA side.
The problem is that pretty much every weapon type is covered by FS2 standard and adding another cannon just sort of confuses the issue unless its some kind of achievement over the others. I don't want another heavy cannon either since the Kayser does a more than adequate job of turning everything into shreds.

You'll see some funky new ones in UoW. Different takes on the weapons.
fighters too small, not large enough power source, no wre to project it from, game unbalancing unless it realises that a beam on a fighter would be incredable weak and a pointless endevour, the majority of weak cap ship beams in the game do little damage imagine how weak and feeble it would be, after 5 volleys youve taken off 1 hp from a capship.

Thanks for some reality check Shrike.
If it wasn't done in concept in FS2...then we can't do it. We're not re-writing the code...we're just making some new tables and some new graphics as far as weapons are concerned.
Beam cannons cannot be placed on fighters. Except the targeting laser, but that has its own problems.
