a roof beam laser that shoots a powerful beam on top of your ship that deals a lot of damage and is very strong against shields and armor but heats up and requires time to cool down.
the beam lasers can turn in 360 degree angles and has a range between 500 and 1000 idk.
i got this idea from elite dangerous and because I like beam lasers.
it heats up you have to wait for it to cool down before it can be used again
well 0 or 1 is the lowest number unless you are talking about negative numbers
what about range as well
@Chompsky I did once had a similar idea, but with a rooftop cannon turret (similar to a standard cannon) instead of a laser. It would take up power (to rotate the turret) and two crew to man the turret (and it used ordinary ammunition). I wasn't really too serious on the idea, but I thought it would be cool but a bit too overpowered...
well make it cost alot in cr
Here's my balance ratings;
Damage - S; This sounds like an even stronger ion beam
Cost - ?
Surface area - S; Roof turrets are overpowered, plain and simple. Part of the balance right now is finding space for both weapons and defense on the surface of your ship, and this gives you weapons for free
Logistics - B?; The actual powering of the weapon would probably be easy, it's only B instead of A because of the overheating thing, which would turn it more into a gatecrasher
Range - SSS; The longest ranged weapon in the game right now is 9+ accelerator rails and EMPs tied at 600 meters. This would immediately become the goto, and really only viable kite weapon
Overall this sounds so ludicrously overpowered that it would make meta knight in brawl look like olimar. It would turn the balanced and diverse meta we have right now into "roof turrets go brr"
ok maybe
range 650 meters
damage 1000 damage
logistics 10 power
surface area 5x5 edit 3x3
no over heat
i think size isnt a big of a deal unless you want it to look realistic.
Chompsky 5000 damage would one hit armor blocks muh dude
Chompsky well you can just edit the mods .txt files, but if your to lazy for that too...
sucks to be you ngl
@operation_gday @Jared @Ultranova @Gray @Chompsky
yah know what? I'm gonna dust off the ol' Notepad ++ and make the lowest quality mod with a weapon of Chompsky's recomendations, just to show how OP this item is
Chompsky That's literally just a longer reload thing,it solves barely anything. You can literally just have an alpha-strike bomber with 10 of these and obliterate everyone without needing to think about crew and power and ammo. It's like letting the nuke launch from behind armor,buffing it's damage to hell,increasing it's range to be longer than railguns,and only giving it a slightly longer reload time.
Compilatron do it in regular notepad for the lols
