Harpoon Tearing Damage
« on: June 09, 2015, 02:54:35 am »
Giving the harpoon some bonus damage based on the force applied to the targeted ship, with a minimum threshold a bit above the pulling force it can produce by itself.

With the changes to its mechanics removing the old turbo ramming assist nature of it I think it could be made to do significant damage and this way avoids turning it into the short range wide arc mercury substitute that a direct damage buff would make it.

I don't think harpoon-chute vent-moonshine-flak squid should be anywhere near the new meta but I think it could be fun to make it possible (just don't let them harpoon you back while you pull that maneuver)

Just when I thought my Hugging Mobula preset needed to be changed... If this is incorporated, I will clean the dust off.  :)

direct component hits auto destroy.

Because it rips the component off the ship. So maybe give the gun a buff in shatter dmg and make its aoe gat hit sized if not already.

Pretty much the anti goldfish gun.

Further thoughts:
Tearing does significant component and hull damage but the harpoon detaches when the armor/gun/engine breaks.
  -Can't use 3 harpoon drop mobula to tear through both armor & hull at once
  -Hitting an engine is not as crippling because you lose the disorientation when they lose the engine
  -Hitting a gun can break it but stops giving them free arcs after that

Mobula + 3xHarpoon + moonshine + chute vent + Mobula + 3xHarpoon + moonshine + hydrogen moving away from the target ship in opposite directions full speed backwards.

Mobula + 3xHarpoon + chute vent + flak fish


Edit - the harpoon should probably stay attached if its on hit damage takes out armor etc

It occurs to me that because most of the force comes from the ship, having more than 1 harpoon only adds its direct damage and winching power, so 3x harpoon won't be 3x damage
