Alright, so Autocannons seem to be the best weapon to simulate the continuous fire effect that I have always wanted, and I know that all ships are limited to three guns. So here's a question:
Would it be possible to change all/most weapons to a autocannon effect?
Seriously, lasers go pew pew, but it just dosnt seem like a TEC thing to do. Missles are alright, but they seem too slow, Although if you increase range/decrease damage, you can get them to provide the role of first strike.
As for the other races, it's harder, since they seem to have different personalities. I would love to see those flashbeams become standard, providing the same effect as the autocannon, but more "alien"
What would it take to have all/most ships have 360 degree firing arcs, and a nice short range type firefight with tons of ammo/beams shooting everywhere?
Increaseing the burstcount/delay really helped shake things up with my games, making it seem like a TEC battleship was really that much of a threat, but I saw that it really really dropped off when it came to other ships.
One last thing, on the TEC Battleship, as well as some other ships, I couldnt help but notice that there seems to be "turrets" as well. While not animated, I could see them firing differnt directions, Would it be possible to increase the number of those? or put them on different sides of the ship? Volume of fire, and consistancy are important to me, so any help with that would be appreciated.
