Old Galleon?

(1/4) > >>

Indreams:
I was shifting through the old forum to see if there are any old ship maneuvers I might try.

While I was reading, I came across this:



And I read something about three-flak Galleon with incredible downward arc killing squids in 4 shots.


I know the Goldfish underwent a design change before I joined, but I can't seem to find out if Galleon was different in the early days of GOIO.


Does any of the veterans know anything about it? I'd love to know.

And maybe we can have a discussion about a medium flame-thrower, as seemingly present in the photo above.

ShadedExalt:
Well I wasn't here for that' but some kind of Magma Cannon or Heavy Flamer would be amazing.  Also, long range anti armor.  Heavy gat maybe, or better yet a Jupiter Field Cannon, aka the heavy merc?  That Galleon killing a Squid in four flak shots sounds amazing...


...ly overpowered.  As awesome as that would be, I'm pretty sure it was a good idea to nerf that.  The downward arcs however...

Jub Jub:
The Typhon Heavy Flak still has really good downward arch. However what you were reading Indreams was probably a result of arming time not being in the game. So Heavy Flaks had no arming time, which means you could fire them in rapid succession and do decent armor damage before actual hull damage. Someone else will have to give you the math behind it, but that would be my first guess: Back when arming time wasn't part of the game.

BdrLineAzn:
Yeah this was way back, went on from release. Basically the old standard killing power were the heavy flak. it had no arming time and it did had a decent piercing damage to break armor and get the kill in.the turning radius was a bit faster and with lesmok shotting it had almost no arc. also the ships were faster since no real mass was added to the ships and the flakfish was viable, able to kill while moving at great speeds. htte deadliest ship was the four flak galleon which can devstate any ship given the best gunners were on board. but that all changed after this

starts around an hour thirty in

Squidslinger Gilder:
The old HF was able to kill squids in 2-3 shots. Oh it was just so juicy when you'd see those shots crack and tear ships apart.

I really miss the old HF. We need a good heavy kill weapon for CQC. Rush in and BOOM TO THE FACE! Also need something to fit in between the LF and the Mortar. Something with no arming timer.
