Random tactical missile that disrupts subsystems and fires off 6 EMP missiles (EMP Adv. derivative). Try not to fire it at close range since you'll get caught in the EMP storm.

I recommend pasting this one after the Tag-C entry.

+Tech Description:
XSTR("The Petrifier is a highly advanced tactical payload missile designed for suppresive attacks on large targets. Upon impact with a cruiser, corvette or destroyer, the Petrifier releases a wave of low-level radio waves which effectively seize up the weapons and engines subsystems of the target. The effect lasts for around ten seconds. In addition to this payload, upon impact, the Petrifier also fires off several submunitions charged with electro magnetic pulses, similar to those used on the EMP Adv. missile. These submunitions disrupt targeting and control of fighters for a limited amount of time. When fired at a heavily protected target from long range, the Petrifier's main payload will neutralize the target's defenses while the EMP submunitions will distract the target's escorting fighters. It is not recommended to fire this missile from within 500 meters, as the EMP pulses can damage friendly fighters also.", -1)

good

The Petrifier, like all tactical weapons in FS, is rather useless against AI though.




The next one just wacks you around and does a bit of damage. Morning Star for Shivans. Way, way better than the Shivan Light Laser, it does a lot more damage (but not an insane amount of damage) and smacks you around. Very good on the Dragon's second gunmount.

I need some Primaries now, for the player and some Shivan ones.

I also need a bomb for the player.

For one of the Primaries, can you do me a green Subach.

[Snail]

Green subach. (GL stands for Gamma Laser, not Green laser. And I know "gamma lasers" can't exist but I don't care. The tech description is scientifically impossible too). Oh, it turns purple after a certain range BTW.

I couldn't get it to look right normally, so I had to create my own effect, which is attached to the bottom of this post. Stick the file in the .zip into your data\effects folder. I quite like my invention. Been a long time since I created my own effect for a good old school retail weapon.

With a high rate of fire, the Subach GL-7 can easily vaporize enemy fighters in just a few hits. However, the Subach GL-7 uses up more than twice the amount of energy the HL-7 operationally needs, making the Subach GL-7 a much less stable weapon in combat.

[Snail]

Actually, a gamma ray laser is quite possible and would make an effective weapon.

No that's not possible. A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation on a completely different wavelength from light. Since it's different from light, there is no way it can be a gamma ray-light amplification stimulating emitting radiation thing (or whatever laser stands for).

They're called 'grasers'.

Yar, grasers are different from lasers, since lasers deal with light.

[Admiral_Stones]

I theorized that, when you put a photo plate behind a Fighter, and fire a HL-7 on it, you'll get a perfect X-Ray image.

[Snail]

I theorized that, when you put a photo plate behind a Fighter, and fire a HL-7 on it, you'll get a perfect X-Ray image.

Yes. And if you do it in the right mission on the right wingman, you can see some nekkid hot babes too.

[Admiral_Stones]

Or more the skeleton of there of.

[Snail]

Yes yes whatever, the former would have been more favorable.

[General Battuta]

Yar, grasers are different from lasers, since lasers deal with light.

In physics, 'light' often just refers to 'EM radiation.' 'Visible light' indicates the bands that you're thinking of.

You're right, it's not strictly correct to say 'gamma-ray laser', but it's nonetheless pretty common.

[Pieolence]

I hope this isn't too much of a "necro-post"... since the thread maker still needs weapons...

For a demonstration of what I mean when I say hitting stuff at long range is hard, try shooting fighters with a maxim at max range (3600m), especially when they're already fighting other ships, and making every shot land.

Agreed, but why have a weapon with a range of 3,600 meters when you can buy my new (relatively) Jaeger (TM [TM]) and fire at stuff up to 9,000 meters away...

Note: As I haven't thoroughly tested the Jaeger (TM[TM]) Special Edition, I have no idea what it can do in certain situations, or if it is imbalanced, or lag-inducing, I just created it here on the spot... have fun with it... (I have tested it once, I personally found it to be very fun to use...)

edit: If you were wondering, the whole thing was a joke about how some stores will advertise how good their products are, and how cheap they are, as well as having grand openings and anniversary specials, et cetera.  Sorry if that was too obscure.  Anyways, the Jaeger isn't actually very effective at 9,000 meters, but most of my weapons, unless they are specifically short-ranged, have long ranges, though they are not accurate at that range and usually shooting at that range is a waste of energy or ammo.  The Jaeger isn't the longest ranged weapon I've made actually, nor the fastest, however those weapons fire very slowly (also, they are more anti-bomber than anti-fighter [due to bullet-type weapons doing more damage to MOST bombers and less to MOST fighters {thanks to the armor.tbl}] the Jaeger (TM[TM]) is inaccurate, but I find it very fun to use... I don't know why though... it even inspired me to make a weapon quite like it right afterwards (it is much more serious though...), it even led me to make the violent pie gun (violent+pie= pieolent), which has a lot of values relating to pi (meaning it fires about 3.14 times a second, it moves at 314 meters/second; yeah, it seems very nerdy, but I find it fairly fun to use, and you don't really have to be a nerd to recite the first 3 or so digits of pi, right?)

I hope this isn't too much of a "necro-post"... since the thread maker still needs weapons...

10 days... nah, it's not that bad. But I woudln't get your hopes up, since we haven't heard from the James dude in a while. In any case,

+Tech Description:
XSTR("The Prometheus Xe is a retrofit of the Prometheus cannon. Though the GTVA was temporarily able to gain access to sufficient amounts of Argon to produce the Prometheus S cannon, with the destruction of the Capella nodes, argon amounts again dropped. However, in 2369, the GTVA was able to modify the Prometheus R cannon to be far more efficient substituting argon with the elements of xenon and helium. The resulting laser is easily capable of penetrating through armor plating and shielding systems, but with increased energy usage and increased fire wait. The name Prometheus Xe comes from xenon's chemical symbol, Xe.", -1)

Each bolt if very powerful but fires EXTREMELY slowly, so make each shot count.
