GTW-43 Eel - After the failure of the Lamprey cannon, Subach-Innes redesigned this weapon using the Lamprey's energy-leech capabilities, but also adding considerable shield and hull damage. It is estimated that the Eel does almost as much damage per shot as the Subach HL-7. However, this features come at a cost: the Eel consumes as much energy as the Akheton SDG.

I disapprove with this one because of the Avenger cannon in FS1.

GTW-X19 Phaser Subspace Artillery Device (SAD) - This prototype one-of-a-kind weapon is the GTVA's first official attempt at a hybrid TAG-subspace weaponry to date. The pilot uses a Targeting Laser to "paint" the target for a few seconds. Within those short moments, several high-yield missiles emerge from subspace near the target and track it until they destroy the target or the paint wears off. Because the missiles emerge from subspace, there is no need for the pilot to carry any of them in his fighter, allowing him to use other missiles instead. However, the Targeting Laser must be mounted on a gunpoint in order for the weapon to function properly, which means that he may, in some cases, need to fly with no guns at all.

A couple of next-generation anti-cap weapons
GVM Hammerhead: a longranged, subspace capable anti-capship missile which can survive multiple defensive shots, this is carried on bases for supporting combat anywhere in the system.  the missile is completely autonomous, and has been used in attacks on it's own. However, it's high price limits it's use.
GVM Lightbringer: a torpedo which fires a single-shot, disposable beam weapon. It's weakness it it has a short beam range and when it fires the containment field for the plasma core fails causing a significant blast.
Mekhu HL-10: a further development of Vasudan development in basic light weapons, this has an increased rate of fire increasing it's overall damage output to something comparable with the prometheus S.
Akheton rotary energy cannon (REC): A weapon so effective a fighter has been built around it. This fire plasma bolts at reasonably high rate by using a single focusing and collimation mechanism (a long string of magnetic lenses), but using multiple plasma bottles, rotating each one to line up with the barrel when it is fully charged. In terms of damage output, this is comparable to 3 or 4 Kaysers.
GVM Blockhead: Despite the derision of terran officers for it (and so the terran codename), this heavy, slow reloading dumbfire missile is effective against transports and cruisers.
GVM Shrike: A fast and effective but short ranged IR-seeking missile. Very useful in a dogfight situation.

GTVASWI 1337-XTREME Plasma Acceleration Weapon, Now Available: Gold Edition - An extremely powerful weapon capable of destroying 30 destroyers (provided they are all lined up in a neat row). The Gold Edition upgrade pack allows you to fire three times faster than the Maxim and also decreases energy consumption. Gold Edition can be mounted on all fighters and bombers except the Boanerges (because the Boanerges sucks).

It's FS related, though, so I see no point.

It didn't get serious. Funny and inconclusive FS related stuff should be moved to General Discussion. In addition, it's more a FreeSpace Modding thread than a GFS one.

So, we have a Fusion Gauss Cannon (WTF? Fusion Gauss?) which deals at least 10'000 dmg (Fenris HP). Now what exactly is the ****ing fun and balance in this weapon?!

GTSW-1x Trinity : Essentially, a remotely-controlled or autonomous corvette-sized weapon, with multiple auto-targeting AAA and other anti-fighter weapons, as well as its own inter-system subspace drive.  The 5 on-board warheads are an enhanced versions of the Meson device, and have had their combined yield calculated to be sufficient to collapse a jumpnode.  After the Capellean incident, GTVA command sought the ability to use the same technique they employed to seal off the Epsilon Pegasi and Vega jumnodes using Meson-packed Orion class destroyers, but in a purpose built and far more efficient delivery method.  The resulting craft is built on the same chassis of a Deimos class Corvette, retaining that vessel's engines, reactors, and subspace drive.  The exterior shape is entirely different from the Deimos, having been configured to hold the specialized warheads and defensive weapons.  The Galactic Terran Special Weapon - 1x may only be deployed upon direct orders from the GTVA security council, or by a fleet admiral in the event that command cannot be reached for authorization.

GTM-991a Narvalus A

This heavily armored torpedo penetrates a warship's hull and explodes after a given amount of seconds, thus allowing bombers to evade the shockwave. It's tremendously effective against subsystems and is usually capable of crippling a cruiser in two or three hits. It has been proved to have devastating effects on fighterbays, effectively compromising an enemy destroyer's effectiveness in any theatre of operations.

A pretty low speed, although somewhat compensated by a decent armor, makes the Narvalus an easy target for turrets and interceptors. These warheads should be launched in swarms, possibly at close range, to ensure the success of a bombing operation.


(it's a TAG weapon whose effect is triggered via the SEXP explosion-effect)
