I was wondering what the Capship weapons are going to be like, apart from beams, torpedos and plasma are there any other Capital to Captial weapons and how diverse will they be between the different species?  that was my main critisiam(sp) against FS2 was the fact that the vasudans used the same weapons as the terrans, Or do we just have to wait and see?

Vasudans use spacial charges, EA have railguns, Terrans have Plasma weapons and Shivans have some crazy stuff

subspace weapon! subspace weapon! oops...said too much.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I trust they'll retain their beam armaments?

[Knight Templar]

Flame throwers.

I actually rather liked the fact Vasudans and Terrans were using the same weapons for the most part in FS2. Makes sense from a logistical standpoint.

Of course, Inferno paints a more seperated picture of the GTVA, so different weapons make sense for Inferno.

With the vacuum of space I'm not exactly sure this would be an ideal weapon.

Yeah but they have other stuff too.

cant wait to see some of this Crazy Shivan stuff in action!!:D

[Woomeister]

Well if you see one of them heading your way, you'll probably be dead a second later

[starbug]

be worth it, just to see wot kind of crazy mojo they can now do:lol:  hahahahaha

Fighterbeams aren't Shivan exclusive now, but they get the better ones

Yeah we have a lot of cluster weapons, we had to bump the limit in our builds because we have too many

[Woolie Wool]

I hate fighterbeams. An AI fighter goes from redshirt-like to never missing in accuracy when you give it fighterbeams.

[Woomeister]

Ours can be dodged sometimes, and we've limited the amount of time the ai can fire them.

Best thing to do is not get in front of a Harpy

[Woolie Wool]

If they're anything like Nials in TBP, I will send my army of mutant Wookiees after you.

[Woomeister]

I wouldn't know so

Fighterbeams don't penetrate shields either, but once your shields are down, you won't last long.

Big pointy sticks...

Also, the Harpy is too damn fast to avoid.

Hmm doubt it, only the Vasudan bombers have them.

plasma weapons???

i got some plasma "pulse" weapon off the internet somewhere. its kinda like those plasma weapons from starlancer. is these plasma weapons something along those lines? i can send ya's the .tbl file for the plasma cannon i have(theres a terran-vasudan one and a shivan one just fyi). it would be also kinda cool if plasma cannons were an additional form of anti-ship weapon, like beam cannons and torpedoes, with their own special-looking turret.

Just a thought

Ours are slow plasma shots used for anti-warship support. They're far more effective than beams and are heavily carried by the Oberon destroyer. Old versions of the weapon appear in one of the old trailers.
