I'm hoping this is a long range area burst weapon with a small clip yet medium loading ammo.  Possibly an air burst timed weapon, if it hits at a certain range it does AOE damage, but if it hits within a timer window, like a min/max range it explodes doing piercing/fire.

But this would likely make it to difficult to use, with a bigger clip maybe...  maybe.

apparently so. last time i worked on it a few days ago i was told "i have plenty of time to finish it" all it needed was some sound effects, a few particles and an icon for selecting it  (of course balancing stuff, but thats not on my end of things . . thankfully >>)

regardless i was planning on showing an updated teaser pic sooner or later, probably next time i'm in the office

Still think it's a shame this was made into a light gun after all, could have been an amazing new Heavy gun if it was just slightly bigger..

Interesting sights you have there, it is like the inverse of the lumber jack sights where the ticks go up as opposed to down. Could this gun have reverse shot drop where the projectile falls upward instead of downward? Considering how much fun I have had with the mine launcher I am looking forward to the amount of mischief I can cause with this new gun.

wait, its a light gun now?


 :(

i was really looking forward to having more options for my goldfish and galleon.

Now that i really think about it, i suppose balancing heavy weapons has to be hell, conventional thought says that since they're heavy, they need to do more damage, and of the 3 ships that can carry them, only one needs any help.

You would be suprised.. the Light carronades actually have more total damage in one clip than the Heavy ones.

and only the Galleon is completely acceptable and doesn't need help, the other two ships could use some variety since they can only realy play with 1 or 2 heavy guns.. out of a total 4.. (3 if you are a Goldfish cause the Heavy Flak simply doesn't work on it)
