yah. There's no point in mining when you can blow up ferians... Mind you....I did slap a +150% speed enhance on a ferian plasma cannon in one of my "cheat to see what weapons I might try on the next proper playthrough" runs, after getting bored, and found that finding out if asteroids have ore gets ...

Can't be used while the ship is moving? That would be a really cheap cloak. Not really. It just means they have to wait until you are close, then swarm you. On a trade route, that would be a great challenge for escorting....and you could run into them anyway. Or would you rather be chased by an inv...

If you think the TM7 is still weak you've never used it in its new incarnation. The way multitarget works now, and with tracking, it does 12d12+12 damage 3.7 times a second to a single target. That's within 2% of the DPS of the M2 Medusa, and the TM7 can take enhancers. Uh..do you mean the S3 medus...

I think just having a group of cloaked enemy ships suddenly appear next to you and start firing would be freaky enough to make it worthwhile. Could be interesting. NPC ambushes....perhaps some kind of Stealth Craft NPC....stealth armor, and maybe an optical cloaker that takes a lot of power..and ca...

Ressurecting this so the Beginner weapons thing can go back to being about beginner weapons. Changes: Ares Plasma cannon seems better, but still looks better when it fires than it actually is. It's more likely to be the Phobos USING it better that's made me notice it more. QAC has longer range. Stil...

Speaking of St.Ks.....I'm not sure if this has been reported, but there's a typo on one of the Arcology Segments. Just cycle targets next to the rings, and you'll see which one hasn't been named.

However the Command Ship is VERY easy to kill with a positron lancer (enhanced or sped up makes it more insane though)....you sometimes get one from the wreck of the Huygens...I haven't seen them elsewhere. The Ringer station typically drops some as well. Never tried that.....the one time I've done...

from what i experienced there's two ways to do the failed missions scenario.. either do the mission with kate and the pteravores which basically means clearing them all out beforehand and then have her ship dock at the control center. barring this and her ship is destroyed it's not over yet. dock w...

Yeah. They are only grenades in name. Although that might explain the short range and poor range...sending a guy down to the airlock to throw them at the enemy..... :twisted: There is only one weapon that is at all like a MAG that I find is good.....and that's the CRM500 Running Man "Mine". It has a...

They should be short range....but at present the range isn't just "short"...it's ridiculous. And I'd love to see MAGs actually EXPLODE when thery time out, rather than just vanish....since they ARE grenades.

I mean post a sticky in the bug reports forum where people might actually need it, and have the stick tell everyone "Post Bugs On Bugtracker" and have a link to the bugtracker. If you actually want people to use it, it has to be very straightforward! Seconded. Currently, I don't bother with the Tra...

Well, they ARE grenades, so you'd expect them to time out quickly....but the range is pathetic.

I'd love to see both increased speed and lifetime, and maybe detonation at the end of lifetime....since they ARE an analogue of present day grenades.....and because fireworks are fun to watch

George does have a point. It's hard to cry "preachiness" when in every playthrough, you kill probably several thousand people (mostly civilians), at the least.

...and "But the explosions are really pretty!" doesn't cut it as justification...for all that doesn't stop me, or anyone else.

That sounds like a good idea, Atarlost.....perhaps a dual-shot thermo weapon, like what they have, only more nasty, and then doubled.....and then (if it aint nasty enough already) possibly firing in 2-3 shot bursts (Per gun. meaning a dual+ repeat)...making it like the CLAW, only WAY nastier. And ta...

Hmm. If you want them "non-crappy"...try 5X Xenophobe Ion lancer, a Longreach or 3, A trenton with P-reflect, 2 fusionfires and a disintegrator. That might work. :twisted: But on the serious side, Behemoths are pretty awful.....especially with that next-to-useless Dwarg Behemoth Cannon thing....the ...
