how about a bomb that fires in swarms, I made one of these and it is very satifying to see 32 bombs (very small bombs) bombarding a ship, I beleve the term is carpet bombing. just like the good-ole days

An interesting idea how about a meson bomb, attached to some engines and what you could have is an INTERGALACTIC ICBM!!!!! just a thought.

But 1 problem Bobbaou, If you made 32 small bombs bombarding the ship, then wouldn't you run out in one shot?

well 32 is from several bombers, probly no more than 8 from an individual bomber at a time, but they would be 1/3 the size and power of a cyclops, so you would be able to hold plenty of them and it wouldn't kill anyting in one salvo, in fact 4 of them should do less total damage than a helios seeing as they would be harder to shot down.

Yeah, cluster bombs. Imagine weak bombs that fire like Hornets. Of course you'd be able to carry a good number of them.

"it would fire a beam thats wide enough to hit multiple shields on whatever your attacking like an mara for example it could hit 3 of its shields at once"

what about a flak cannon type projectile or cannon fire from a primary bank? do-able?

a true flak weapon has been tryed for fighters, and the results are.... interesting, lets just say that they are a slightly suisidal weapon.

You can tell just by using the cheats... even long range flak blows up in your face

i think its cos the engine doohickey launches flak & blows it up in proximity to the nearest fighter... if you fire it, it explodes the second it leaves your barrels

Yeah...now a missile that explodes like flak is easy...but thats already been done.

We've developed two new weapons for Sol. But those aren't special at all.

how about an ion cannon like in the starwars books for capital ships? One that will shut down all systems with one shot to a fighter

Now that could be very fun. I might test that idea out

Yes, Ace is "special". So "special" that we put him in a "special" place where they give him a nice warm coat that prevents him from hurting himself

Or an AAAf Beam that does the same thing

It would be good for the SOL forces. If you have ever read the books it is very deadly to a fighter. And since the SOL forces have different weapons on their ships. I thought it would be pretty cool to see a burst from an ION Cannon take me down. Might want to make it fire slow though cause that would kill all the AI, or disable all the AI really fast if it were to shoot like a Subach or a Maxim Cannon.

you cant have it shut down fighters permenatly - otherwise you could end up floating around the battlefield waiting for someone to vape you - but you could maybe have it i dont know kill your sensors and weapons maybe take your afterburners offline or degrade your engine so putting you on the strictly defensive for a while
