Rocket Harpoon.
Richard LeMoon:
Given that it is a slow firing gun, and it would take at least two shots to kill anything if you timed the hull break right, a Spire would be quite vulnerable. If everything went right, it would be a very deadly ship. If not, sand litter. I think the Spire would be the most risky ship to try this on.
On a side note, I am not sure how lochnagar would effect this gun, as it does not arm until after it strikes a ship. I guess it would explode in 1.6 seconds instead of 4 (if that was the 'push' time). The rockets would not push much before it exploded, and the timing would be pretty tight for breaking the hull. I can see where it could be useful, though. Or, it would arm right away and explode on contact. That would make it an extremely slow firing flak.
Let's one-up the fun by making it a ballista as well. Imagine this guy in brass and gears. :D

... Muse, you're late. This should have been in the game MONTHS ago!

Also, didn't think of this til just now when I was looking over the thread again, but this entire effect could be accomplished simply by using Impact Damage, rather than trying to make some overly complicated rocket mechanic. Perhaps it could pulse the damage after impact, so it's short bursts of impact damage, if you really wanted it to move the ship for an extended period of time.

Recent posts brought this back to my attention, and I thought I would play around with some quick and dirty image manipulation. Was going to go for a standard ballista, but saw a few images that got me to thinking that there are no other themed guns like the Manticore. Thus, after some messy image merging....
