Arturo Sanchez:

As far as I am aware, the weapon was intended in it's prototype to be a similar weapon to the flamer.
A particle weapon, with quite short range, high fire rate, large clip size, and mediocre amount of shatter damage per shot. So it is pretty good at destroying mechanical components as you'd expect from electric weapons - little to none damage to armor, balloon and hull(as they are not vulnerable to electricity) and the bulk of the damage dealt to components.

Now that is what I believe was intended of the tesla gun in it's prototype state, minor tweaks have probably happen since then and it'll look a bit different mechanics-wise.

Keep in mind that muse specifically said that we cannot expect anymore new weapons/maps/ships in skirmish mode until coop comes out, so this gun is most likely - if released, to be released in coop and then later on if found to be balanced enough be put in skirmish.
So don't get your hopes up.

Probably best it comes in co-op anyways, should be really good for knocking down all of those planes. I do hope it makes it into skirmish eventually, just for fun at the least  :)

Byron Cavendish:
It would be a fantastic choice for a heavy piercing gun with shatter, but (unless we rabble-rouse) Howard said it will never be in pvp.

I wanna giant H.Flak like cannon ;-;

Saull:
Well in our little preview pic it does look like its being shot from a Spire so that does imply it being a heavy weapon but that makes me wonder if all of the new faction unlocked weapons will be boss ship weapons which, due to their size, would most likely be heavy weapons. I would hope/ expect that the new ships/weapons will be split down the middle between heavy and light for the sake of variety balance but its sorta weird to think of what kind of unique light weapon would be fitting for a faction's boss ship.
