Call for Gunner Ammo Ideas

--- Quote from: Koali on June 25, 2014, 10:39:22 am ---How about an ammo type to counter chemspray, i.e. wash it off? Some kind of water shots, perhaps? These would probably help the opposing team by removing fire stacks, though. How about some sort of chemical solvent-type shot? Either a spray or a bomb-like projectile (like a big glorified water balloon). It could vary between weapons. (Big shot on most guns, but carronades, gatlings, and flamers get a spray)
Chemical Solvent
Removes the effects of Chemspray
Does only 50% damage <-- that can change for balance
as a spray -60% ammo capacity
as a bomb Only 1 shot
OH GOD, FLAMETHROWERS THAT REMOVE CHEMSPRAY

1) we already have amazing thing which balances chemspray. Time.
2) "Chemical solvent" is kind of silly name from terms of chemistry... Cause lots of them are highly flammable, and huge amount are completely impossibe to set fire with. The ones which are flammable are usually evaporise really fast to use them as a fuel for gun.
3) in current game balance flamethrowers is a threat even for chemsprayed ship. Pings/seconds spend on gunning/carronades which destroy spray status
macmacnick:
Want to avoid flamers? Go mid-long range as a ship build. Or do a Long and short range junker. there. Fixed.
Also, how-about an ammo?
Grape Shot
+20% ammo capacity
+25% spread
Each projectile shot splits into 5 fragments, dealing damage over a greater area, but consequently, each fragment does only 20% of the normal damage.
-40% rotation speed,
-30% projectile speed.
Does all damage across many components, but is mostly viable for close range, due to enhanced spread.
Richard LeMoon:
Paint.
Damage: 0
Range: 50%
Ignition chance reduced to 0%
Why? Painting the enemy Galleon pink with a flamethrower is funny.

This could be one of the best ideas up here. I mean, they'd be like "Oh noes, they haz fire! CHEMSPRAY ALL THE THINGS!" Only to be covered with paint.

To counter:
1) What about those impatient players who want to shoot things right now?
2) The"Chemical Solvent" would essentially be glorified water. Water is a common solvent, and just about anything could be described as 'chemical' in one way or another (I think). I just thought it would sound better than "Water Balloons."
3) I don't have any idea what to say here.

There is another thread running about a "water cannon" light gun concept that extinguishes fires and pushes other ships, perhaps "washing off" Chemspray would be an interesting feature for the gun, but not an ammo type. I think Chemspray is balanced as it is.
