Seriously, we need more guns.

Yes, first we need armour to mean something so we can armour tank but we really need more guns.

-Burst Firing Light Cannon - The stepping stone between Multi-Cannon and Cannon [Exists as MEDIUM and LARGE weapon]

-Plasma Repeater - The Thermal version of the Multi-Cannon derived from the Plasma Accelerator but miniaturized - overheats faster and demands more energy AND ammunition

-Charge Laser - A HUGE burst laser with a charge up time similar to a railgun

-Medium Multi-Gun Turret - Medium turret that holds X2 small guns [Drawback - Twice as fast overheat]
-Large Multi-Gun Turret - Large turret that holds X3 small guns [Drawback - Three times as fast overheat]
-Huge multi...you get the point...

Bigger Multicannons were discontinued since it was hard to create a good model and very difficult to balance.
Balance issues for large railgun.
I think a bofers style repeater cannon was considered, no news since then afaik.

As long as its balanced Im in favour of variety :)

Please dont put thread titles in all caps - it breaks a forum rule.

Yes more variety is good but I think theres a few other things need looking at first like injecting a bit of life into the galaxy in the form of solar flares, Ion storms/Magnetic storms, comets etc and other phenomena that will improve the life for all players not just combat orientated ones. (My personal opinions).

As far as the comet goes maybe make it so if you can somehow mine it, match it's speed or something, you get a lot of high value metals or so. Make it risky, it spins and has parts that stick out or something, but rewarding.

Military lasers would be good. Choice of laser colours as well perhaps!

You know, I really wanted laser colors too...then I got to thinking...all laser colors are bogus in vacuum. It should be invisible unless you are looking directly down the beam. The light you see off of a laser is not the collated beam of light itself. No, the light you see is the result of that collated beam interacting with dust or other air borne materials.

Now, if you fire your laser through the smoke of an exploding ship, you should see it. If someone is pelting your canopy with laser fire, you should see flashes or bits of diffraction when it comes level with your eyes or is disrupted by your shields or canopy.

EMP Blast Pulse that has a % chance to knock out a module for a few seconds, such as shield booster or cell bank.. *evil grin*

Isn't there a pulse laser which causes module failure already? Available via joining and working for one of the PowerPlay factions.

Minimum 4 week pledge to access power specific modules/weapons so we have no idea how good/bad they are for another 2 weeks.
