Walt Its like a flak cannon... Please (if this is going in vanilla) Make it where the bullets explode, but only for missiles and when missiles are close enough. It could be a highly upgraded pd, But it would be VERY expensive to get. Like it would be the same cost as a sensor.
(I will now make pros and cons, if this WAS indeed a flak cannon for missiles)
Pros-
1. Could be a much better defense against missile kiters, making bounty hunter, and multiplayer more evenly matched.
The explosive point (a.k.a, the point where the bullets spread) Could be used as a point-blank cannon-shot, allowing heavier ships to take out faster, more agile ships, or vice versa.
There could be a rule to allow a certain number of that type of cannon on multi-player, allowing people to focus on more than;
Kiters, stackers, (ships that use one weapon only), and only having that cannon as defense.
Cons-
It would probably make pd Utterly pointless on bigger ships.
Its cost would have to be HUGE to keep people from beating the game in like three seconds.
Ships that use missiles would have to have ALOT of them, in order to beat a cannon kiter like this. Like missile kiter vs. Pd cannon kiter.
I hope this post from me helps with the development of this CRAZY new weapon. (Like im not calling anyone crazy, but the idea is. 🙂 )
