Title: Probably a bad idea but..
Post by: Caprontos on July 31, 2015, 06:08:59 pm
What if you could pick either a light or heavy gun for the heavy gun slots?

Would this be useful at all?

Double gatling hawcha galleon op?...

I am aware it will never be a thing.

5 Minotaur Mobula OP
He said light guns in heavy slots. That would be heavies in light slots. And that WOULD be OP.

If ever a Heavy Mine launcher gets released, I swear Gilder and Over Watch players would never use anything beyond "Mallions"!! By the love of everything good in this world... Make it happen!!!

Carn, what benefit would that have over a light mine launcher?  what would the difference be?

Kamoba, same with Clan Clan.  every match, every map would be a mine field, always.

For it is written in the book of Phobos: "Mine is the life, mine is the love, mine is the future. May you all mine in pieces."

Let is deploy more mines at once and have different default range (maybe a bit further out) then the normal one.. Or let it deploy like two mines at once spaced out a bit (spacing and range effected by ammo) (so ammos that deploy the mines sooner deploys them close and near.. and ones that make the deploy range longer  spaces them out further and puts it further away).. Or both..

Cluster mines were my thought. A loose spacing of connected mines. Or it could launch a sting of mines.

String of mines? Nah, that's the mine/poon combo gun.
Title: Re: Probably a bad idea but..
Post by: Daft Loon on August 01, 2015, 07:47:32 pm
The heavy version of the mine should clearly be the aerial torpedo.

Although a longer range mine would make some sense, instead of zoom have the range drop to normal mine range maybe?

Mayhaps. But the heavy mine already has a name designed by destiny. The light mine launcher is the Phobos, named for the Roman god of fear and a son of Mars. It's only fitting that the heavy would go with this theme and be called Deimos, after the Roman god of terror, another son of Mars and brother to Phobos.

Hold up, I got a better idea for a mine/poon combo.

It shoots a harpoon first, then launches a mine that reels itself toward the enemy ship.

pretty sure mine explodes the moment it feel the tugging of the rope.

unless of course you mean like some sort of time bomb.

No it wouldn't. If you look at a mine when it's deployed, it has prongs that stick out, like a sea mine. Sea mines are triggered when one of the prongs is pressed like a button. It would probably work to attach the harpoon reel between the mine and the balloon.

Either that, or you could have a new kind of mine that detonates when the harpoon cable is reeled all the way in.

Have an artemis that has a boxing glove missile head.

This attached to a balloon and filled with high explosives for when the ammo runs out. Heavy mine turret. Enough said.

Load the gunner into the gun, launch him into his own floating turret, which when destroyed or out of ammo, he respawns on ship (like when falling off.)

Yes my idea is poor, but it would be fun to shoot gunners off the ship! 8)

Well I was thinking of something more modest. A single shot, big brother version of the heavy flak.
- 5 degrees horizontal arc total, 10 deg vertical
- arming distance of 1200M otherwise only 20% damage inflicted
- Lochnagar + buff can destroy a naked galleon in one hit
- Projectile speed and trajectory similar to the Mercury field gun projectile.
- 10 second reload time

Basically a snipers wet dream. Might make the mino more useful tho.
