Kraken Harpoon Gun
Richard LeMoon:
Um... no. It is a faked Workshop. Check the version number in the vid.
ZnC:
Heavy Harpoon+Ram! I love this idea, like the Dragonator from Monster Hunter. Will probably screw up balance but who cares.
MagKel:
I love the design and concept!
BUT
Impact damage is a two lane's street: i hurt you while I hurt myself in equal measure. How could it be implemented on the Kraken? Maybe the rotating trasher damages the ship's armor/permahull while activated but how to deal with lag and trolls?
ALSO
A weapon needs to be easy to use but hard to master (easy to understand, harpoon aiming and timing of trasher activation very hard to master) but how would an ammo type affect the Kraken? Would it modify the harpoons or the trasher's duration/effect? Because other than the harpoons, the rotating tip needs a duration, reload time and damage stats.
Richard LeMoon:
The 'trasher' as you call it (maybe grinder would be better), has no reload, can be used all the time, and adds a set amount of impact damage upon coming within a few meters range of an enemy. Think of it like a gatling gun with a 3 meter range. Pull the secondary trigger and it keeps going. However, since is it also the winch, you can't fire the harpoons while the grinder is on. The grinder is automatically on after harpoons are fired since it reels them back in.
Ramming a ship would cause the set amount of grinder damage (if it is on) plus the current inertial damage. Moonshining with a Goldfish into a harpooned enemy would cause some pretty serious damage. It is a pretty high-risk gun, though. Long to mid-range damage and ability is minimal.
Just lightly bumping a ship would cause just the grinder damage as long as it is activated.
Since the grinder is secondary, all ammos would effect the harpoons. In think it would just be a single shot weapon with five harpoons at the same time.
