0.14.15! Coalition Weapons Pack NOVUS UPDATE

fightingchristian

hmmmm maybe a point defense that counters the rail gun

( I made a ship with emps and railguns and it takes 5 of my beefy ships just to take it down. I take away the emps and it's still takes that much ships :I but still it's a great mod )

fightingchristian The way you want, with PD, isn't possible currently because PD can only shoot at "missiles"(projectiles that track). I can't make it attackable by PD without making it guided.

fightingchristian Also, if you don't want to become Swiss cheese, use Boron Nitride armor. It soaks up railgun slugs like a sponge.

Dumb

....this sounds crazy but......
can there be a gun which "shoots" shields/chunks of armour at the enemy which is capable of absorbing and destroying enemy bullets mid-flight?

Zachary

Dumb Mod fight?

FireShredder24

Dumb I think I might have heard Walt say that was possible, but don't quote me on it. Anyway, something like that is beyond my modding skill.

Dumb

Zachary mid-flight,sry

fightingchristian

FireShredder24 still I put that armor on and I still get swiss cheesed

FireShredder24

dafeeeeeeeeeesh I kinda stopped trying to fix the bombs, mostly because I was working on a far more requested part: cannons. I'll probably keep the bombs just for the memez tho

dafeeeeeeeeeesh

also the mac pen is way to op i mean boron nitride armor is good but at the end of the day if you make a capital ship with a large number of mac cannons say 15-20 can effectively destroy any ships vital areas even with 4 layers of boron nitride armor it will still cut you in half (plus in halo shields can block mac shells even if it does a lot of damage it can block a mac shell so IDK why the mac shells go though shields)

CursedPh4nt0m

dafeeeeeeeeeesh The shells go through shields (and almost everything else) because they have a penetration power of one million (which might actually be way over the top (normal armor got a pen resistance of 7 for reference)). Just checked the railgun_slug.txt and the game files to ensure those didn't change.

i know it can go though shields and i know thats the reason why it just doesint fit with halo lore thats why i said IDK why it can go though shields in the lore

CursedPh4nt0m

dafeeeeeeeeeesh The turret might be stripped of some aircraft carrier or some other place but halo...
(It was originally based on existing tech, if I remember correctly.)

dafeeeeeeeeeesh

CursedPh4nt0m
i mean it looks like a halo MAC he says he likes halo and if it was based on existing tech it still shouldn't go though shields because railguns don't go though shields Either

FireShredder24

dafeeeeeeeeeesh CursedPh4nt0m I know, I know... railguns need to be nerfed and all that crazy bullcrap. But, let me just say this:
Railguns were for the memez
(just like literally half of the CWP)
I might make a fork of the mod that contains actually balanced stuff, but for now, I'm doing a graphics update, so leave me alone.

CursedPh4nt0m

FireShredder24 The v2 lasers, repair modules and most other thingies are completely fine. Only stuff like the macs (enormous range, perfect acc, too much pen, high fire chance and quite some damage) doesn't feel right. (Which certainly didn't stop me from using it...)

FireShredder24

fightingchristian Like I said above, the MACs were not designed to be balanced with Vanilla. They were designed(if you for some reason actually read the README) to be able to defeat the Star Wars mod.

If you don't want to become Swiss cheese, don't use reactors, compartmentalize, cover everything in Boron Nitride, and wait for me to create a balanced fork.

add a laser bigger and better than the ion beam

also you can add a ice ray with special cryoghenic bullets and ice cannons and that both of those stop crew,reactors weapons,etc.

i hope you see this post i would really aprecciate that you add this into the game send feedback pls

bye😃

FireShredder24

MrDerpaDerpy A beam weapon is on my list of things to add, but cryogenic bullets and stuff like that isn't possible yet. The game just doesn't have a way to affect crew directly with weapons fire, yet. Sorry.

MrDerpaDerpy

FireShredder24 well im still waiting for the beam weapon!
hope you make it son 😃
