I don't think you would notice it....it's more like the special "iron-wall" guns developed recently - 5 or more bullets were loaded one after another in the same barrel, so I think this is a gatling version of the said gun.

Each shot delivers roughly 15-30 bullets following each other by mere centimeters, so the gun quickly delivers bursts of caseless ammunition.
Therefore the actual firerate is not that high.

The avenger is an energy weapon. Some fool over at [V] simply forgot to change the description.

[Solatar]

I had the Avenger doing 4500 rounds per minute once...I hated it.

Well, doesn't matter if some fool forgot to change all the .ani's referring to the Avenger, and the tech description's about it to an energy cannon, [V] said it was a cannon, and you can see plainly it's a gun in the .ani's, and that's what we're going after.

Banshee is done, awaiting flammage.

Kickass!:yes:

Forgot to add that I'm using a FOV of 0.42. As soon as I finish all the weapons, I'll go through and make them look better for the original FOV.

Sorry...might be why I think the Prometheus looks big, while Lightspeed thinks it doesn't.

[Lightspeed]

I do not like that Banshee. It looks like a long ... weird... line, or something; It's really hard to make out in that incredibly low-res screenie.

You should keep the shots visible, so its not just a line. Why? simple. If you turn your view while shooting that effect will look horrible. (and i prefer single shots anyway)

The trail also needs more alpha percentage at the main glow of the shot, and should fade out to 0.0 at the end (it should also get smaller there) - I really like the glow bitmap. Make it a bit larger and boost the contrast to give it a 'more powerful' look. Like it is now it looks weaker than the ML-16

The basic idea (shape of the glow + trail) is good though, just needs some tweaking.

[Taristin]

I kinda like it. Let's see how it is with Lighty's sug's...

[Havock]

why isn't the banshee in fs2 if it was the strongest fighter-mounted cannon in fs1?

or did the GT(V)A scrapped them because of the "poor sportsmanship" feedback?

i loved the valkyrie with a banshee loadout, banshees rule.
banshees rip ass.

also, the banshee didn't fire that fast right?

I thought they were long, thin trails instead of laser shots like the ml-16

[aldo_14]

Because the banshee became out of date, like the Interceptor missile, ML-16, etc, etc.  Banshee was the  best name for a laser in the whole Fs series, though.

Even the Prom S is a bit more powerful than the original Prometheus.

[Solatar]

Yeah, but when I play the port, I use that version I uploaded. It's exactly like the original.

[Flaser]

The Prometheus is actually a bit better than the Banshee - the later is the ultimate shield scrapper.

Since Shivans hadn't had too much armor in FS1 that could be the reason why the Banshee kicked ass - against GTVA craft its far from being that effective - and they lacked the noble gases to produce anymore proms.

That's why they came up with the subach.

[Lightspeed]

The banshee took to much energy, that's why it was scrapped.

[Solatar]

Banshee was probably scrapped in favor of the S-Breaker + hull damaging weapons.

[phreak]

but the s-breaker sucks.  does anyone use that?

your banshee looks interesting, but the pics are too small
