Meatier Weapons.

Is it just me, or do the weapons in this game not have enough OOMPH! When you fire slower and heavier weapons, it should have some real kick too it (and maybe a shockwave effect) to make you feel like your actually firing something that does serious damage. Also sound assets play a big role too.

 

Don’t get me wrong, so far Star Conflict has some decent OOMPH in their weapons, but it’s not enough! It will never be enough! When i fire the heavy duty weapon on my ship i want my ship to get kicked backwards a bit, and my overheat bar to jump up (also shockwaves), basically i want the feedback from firing the weapon to scream at me “I AM POWERFUL!” (in an Arnold Swartz voice, ofc). I do not want my heavy weapon to go “pew” and my ship to not react at all to this supposedly “heavy” weapon, bigger damage numbers does not a heavy weapon make.

 

…maybe i have issues…

NO!

 

Try be hited by a heavy weapon when playng a light craft. The heavy weapons need be nerfed, no powered.

I wasn’t talking damage. I was talking visuals and sound assets.

Your avatar plus this emoticon sum up my response as well.

 

Anyways, yes - I agree with you. Shockwaves would be a good start, and a deeper, beefier “OOOMPH” sound when you shoot heavy weapons would be nice. Take the Disintegrator weapons on the frigates. It sounds too “pew” to me. Should sound like “BOOOM!” 

Agreed. I made a thread about this as well. The visuals could be worked on as well. Let’s have some variety instead of all 2-6 guns firing at once.

Yeah… I spend a lot of time using the special module on my Hydra, and it’s like “PEW!” instant 2-3k damage, where the xxxx the sound and visuals damnit?!" It just seems wrong to me that I fire a weapon that does 2-3k damage and there’s only a soft sound to it, and no recoil. I almost felt like throwing the computer out the window when I first fired the Disintegrator on the Harpy.
