Okay, I feel like this weapon really needs some work, and it hit me this could be an awesome rejig…
Wave Motion Gun:
Basically, this is an EM weapon with good range (4K?) that gets more powerful as the projectile travels. At point blank it is a very weak ball, but if you can let it travel its full distance without hitting an obstacle it’ll unleash a huge amount of EM damage.
Still say the weapons should be restored. I have to admit I like the Coil Mortar and to some extent the Heavy Balster (not incredibly creative, truth be told), and I think that those should be the heavy equivalents of the railguns and lasers. I like their mechanics, just hate the current system.
Its terrible the new system but its playable, less customisation, each type of ship now does a ceartain type of dmg.
You need to move beyond Tier 1 mate. All my ships do kinetic, but that’s through choice; they all have at least one of each damage type to choose from.
