Title: New turrets
Post by: Singh on November 12, 2005, 09:49:49 pm
Working on some new deck-style artillary turrets. Unsure what ship it'll go onto atm, but it'll most likely be used on two or three varieties.

Comes in two flavours: light turret for smaller vessels, heavy turrets for larger vessels.

Ooo, melikes, but I'm not so sure about all the bayonetti things coming out of the barrels.

You won't be laughing when your hull is pierced by SPACE BAYONETS!!! The industry's most acclaimed tool for repelling Space Pirates, or subjugating primitive alien folk.

I like the bayonet things. Gives it a look like... I dunno, like a railgun or something. Not that I know what a railgun looks like, but they look like they're there for some greater purpose.

They almost look like harpoons.  As if they could fire off on tethers and hold a ship down in the perfect position to blow it to pieces.

I think the second one looks great, but the first, light turret looks too similar, like someone simply plucked out the two flanking barrels and called it a light turret. :p

That's pretty much it. The single one is supposed to be a 'light' version of the sccond, to be fitted on smaller ships that dont have the ammo capacity to use a triple-barreled turret.

You might like this though: another new, general purpose-effective-against-anything turret.

[sales pitch]
Being hit by fighters that evade too well? Hit them with double flak cannons that spew shrapnel in a wide area! Or even better, launch missiles and watch them dodge that! Being annoyed by that pesky shielded bomber that flies through your perfectly clean carpet of flak? Blast them away with the top-side laser cannon! Got a gunship that's coming a wee bit too close? No problem! Just activate the side beam cannons and it's history! All this with teh new Scary Turret v5.3! Now with self-shield generator and enhanced armor plating for better defense! Order today!

You'd probably be safer in the turret than in the ship! :p

Oh, and the bayonets on the first ones make it look bad ass don't get rid of em'.
