Never thought that space legs will bring any kind of combat with it, really.
What do you CMDRs think SpaceLegs weapons would look like?
- Thread starter Bloodsign
- Start date
At the moment they look very far away.
They've said it will since the beginning. Although, of course, that could change, as lots of stuff has.
However, if the leak is true, we'll be fighting Thargoids in first person, at least.

As long as we can throw canisters, I'll be happy.

Wasn’t my scientific study, I just made fun of people. Although... a Dangly Baster could be funny in the circumstance.
And there is no guarantee that bipedal locomotion will include combat arms. In a majority of systems these are illegal cargo, so a personal firearm may be a no-go.
I know, there’s the whole David Braben big game hunter mention from ages past, but that could well be a whole separate not-a-season as well.
Only time will tell.
Says who?
Tomalus, apparently.
Though it was said by Braben, I believe, that Space Legs have been in the plan since day 1.
I wouldn't expect legs and combat to come all at once. I imagine it will be legs first, then maybe combat. Walk before you run.
There's going to be weapons?
Every miner NPCs last words.
Given how advanced the laser tech is, I think that would be the move. Laser weapons have no recoil so it seems like the obvious choice.
They could also have guns that shoot little self-propelled rockets. There were prototypes of this style made decades ago, but they were crap

Gyrojet.
Can't go wrong with the classics.
More traditional firearms would be a nice touch. Make them more available on the galactic fringes. Colonia, Pegasi, places where folks have to improvise to survive.
Which doesn't impress me much, to be honest
.Never heard this before. I understood that the engine was specifically designed to be able to handle it. So his remark came out of the blue for me.
That is my understanding too.
He's right. The engine can handle spaceships, rollercoasters, crowds, weather, dinosaurs, entire planets... but not moving an animated character around. That one ubiquitous feature of the last 40+ years of computer games is impossible in the Cobra Engine. Obviously.
Honestly, yes, as well as modernized Hi-Tech variants and spinoffs of "classic" firearms. Really the weapon types we have today would be very effective and adaptable even in a future like ED.Can't go wrong with the classics.

Someone here mentioned big game hunting, and that gives me an idea: what if small arms were extremely powerful, but slow firing weapons? No spray and pray type gameplay, you have maybe a couple dozen charges/large cartridges and have to make every shot count. Stealth movement, sniping, seeing your enemy first, and hitting your target would all be a must.
Shotgun for station corridors, sniper rifle round the docking area and something similar to Mass Effect 2's M920 Cain for when a job just has to be done quickly.
