Rocket Harpoon.

(1/6) > >>

Richard LeMoon:
This idea comes from another thread a while back. Heavy (or medium/whatever we are calling it) gun. Fires are large harpoon equipped with rockets. The initial hit causes negligible piercing damage. When it hits an enemy ship (or after x seconds?), the main rockets engage, pushing the ship based on where it hits for [to be tested] seconds. This could result in a ship being spun in a circle if hit on an edge, or pushed into a wall if hit in mass center. Basically like reversing the current harpoon.

When the rockets die out, the harpoon explodes, inflicting flak-level explosive damage. The method of using this weapon is to disable the turning power of a ship and break their armor before the harpoon explodes.

Relatively high gunner and pilot skill required. Proper use would shine on all three heavy weapon ships.

Spud Nick:
so Like a artemis with impact damage?

macmacnick:
...Heavy harpoon... Richard, I want this on my goldie... I'd be shouting, "STAY AWAY METAMIDION SCUM!"

Richard LeMoon:
Sorta like combining an Artemis with a harpoon and a mine.

Dementio:
I approve of this, also you are not the only one that thought of a medium gun that can push ships away. Only thing I am worried about regarding this gun is that it's piercing damage and explosive damage combined could make it a gun that can kill ships rather quickly on it's own. It might even replace the flak entirely...
