Autocannons - new type of weapon

[Raymond Saint]

I miss autocannons in this game very much.

We have beam, pulse and burst lasers, why can't we have intermediate kinetic weapon too?

With fire rate about ~240 to 750 rounds per minute they would fill the gap between multicannons and cannons.

Well, the huge multi cannon basically is an auto cannon, no rotation and such, so they really are one and the same.

Not a bad idea.

This kind of canon could shoot through a wider aread instead of a continuous focused one.

Same could be done with canon. Why about a Class 4 Canon with 4 Class 1 Canon ? This way you would miss less your target at the price of less damage in total. Not bad idea !

Sounds like Enforcer cannons, I love my Enforcers +1 from me.

Could be a nice middle ground of penetration and ROF between multicannons and the big cannons.
