Title: SCP weapons table for FSPort
Post by: Woolie Wool on February 22, 2005, 12:49:20 pm

I decided to make a weapons table for FSPort that makes use of SCP features. I started with the weapons.tbl in mv_zpack, added entries from FSPort, and gave them SCP features. Only three weapons have been changed in their behavior:

-The Shivan Turret Laser fires faster but weaker projectiles at a higher rate of fire to make it less useless against fighters.
-The Shivan Megafunk fires extremely powerful projectiles in a four-shot swarm, and has the Huge and Bomber+ tags. It won't hurt capships all that much, but it is extremely dangerous for bombers.
-The Avenger is the SCP Avenger I made, only now slowed down a bit (fire rate is 0.1) for compatibility and performance. It does damage at the same rate as the original.

I added three advanced turrets for the Terrans and the Vasudans. Each turret has both a Terran and Vasudan version.

-The Adv Turret 1 fires moderately powerful blasts at a high rate of fire to pummel fighters.
-The Adv Turret 2 is like the new Shivan Megafunk, only more powerful and with a neat trail.
-The Adv Turret 3 is a scaled-down version of the Adv Turret 2, with no "Huge" flag and no trail effect. It is an anti-fighter weapon.

Please post comments on the weapons and report any bugs you find.

It's designed to match the tech description of a really fast machinegun.

Then change the tech description

But that would break FS1 canon.

As opposed to breaking FS1 gameplay?  I think that has to trump the tech description here.

The table has been bugfixed. If I get enough demand, I will bring back the original Avenger and name the modified version Avenger#fast.
