I'm just pointing out that the mass drivers in ToD and Shivans! are more or less similar in appearance to the Shivan Super Lasers. Snail mistook them for beam cannons.

Hrm, okay. Well, we're discussing fighterbeams, which are quite hard to confuse.

[Droid803]

ToD has both mass drivers and fighter beams as bomber primaries.
Donno about Shivans!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I think Shivans! has an equally diverse weapon set ... especially with regard to what kind of warhead you can mount on bombers. Even the Seraphim has limitations when it comes to torpedo loadout.

[Droid803]

Then what was it about confusion?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm just pointing out that, since the mass driver shoots a projectile similar to the Shivan Super Laser, which is a hacked turret shot made to look like a beam, some people might think that the mass driver IS a beam weapon, when it actually isn't.

[Droid803]

Ok, but it doesn't have relevance to what Dragon was saying.
Just clarifying.

Yeah ,for the flawlessly working fighter beam it's best to check Shivans! v2.1 mod....

Where can I find it? On FreeSpaceMods I only found Shivans! v0.2 (which I'm downloading now). It also turns out that "shivans" isn't the best search term around here. At least I got some fighter beams working without overcharging.

Coilgun - Magnetic coils hurl a fairly large bomb at a good speed. Gameplaywise it would basically be a high-velocity fusion mortar or possibly a giant flak gun.

Suicide ships. Self-explanatory.

A gun that shoots clone ships would be good. Pity such technology isn't easy to use as a machine gun.

I once tried to make a missile/bomb that spawned little drone fighters.  It didn't work though.

That's exactly the sort of thing I want
