Rapid-Cannons "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt..........."

[Jaylem]

Ok, one does not need to guess where this inspiration came from. If anyone has seen a video of an A-10 Warthog firing it's 30mm death cannon they will know EXACTLY what I mean with this


It is odd that in the future, we actually developed slower firing projectile weapons, although they do fire enormous rounds so I guess we can see as to why.

However I suggest a completely different weapon, a 'rapid-cannon'


Here is how it will work;

-Immediate action firing

-Moderate clip size

- comes in sizes 1-4

-Generates considerable heat

- crazy rate of fire (a minimum of 50 rounds per second...minimum)

-VERY low Damage per shot (for example size 1, 0.2 damage for shot (at 50 shots per second this just tops the multi cannon equivalent for DPS)

-Higher DPS than multi cannon counterparts, but far less damage per shot and ammo reserves run our quicker.

-MUST make "Brrrrrrrrrrt…" sound when firing, otherwise what is the point?

-size 4 requires a small spin-up time (to make it feel bigger)



so there you have it, perhaps the coolest weapon ever devised for elite dangerous. may you chew your enemies the proper way with this new weapon.

here is a video I found on the A-10 firing, just listen to the sweet, sweet sound of a giant gun made right!

Tell me that sound doesn't bring a smile to your face?

Here's a recent thread discussing a similar topic:

Thread: Huge Multicannon - Do you wish to see an alternative to the current weapon?

I like the idea of a huge hardpoint minigun, as you say the sound would be a big selling point. While other sizes would be a nice to have really it's the huge one I'd want. I also wouldn't want it to replace the existing huge multi-cannon.

My friend, the sound IS the selling point... one does not simply have a gun like this and not "Brrrt" it's like having cake with no icing

yeah but that is huge only I guess, I want it to be variable. the idea is that they won't replace the Multi's, just be a higher DPS alternative (much like Beam lasers to burst or pulse) for balancing, these weapons can have a shorter operating time (eg, smaller ammo capacity per damage than Multi's) , and Dam per shot will always be superior on Multi's ( I also love the size 4 as well )


Unrealated, how did you change the link into that? I have always wondered but never asked (only been here for like 2 years )

Write or paste in some text, then highlight it & click the 'link' button & paste the actual url into that. If you quote the post with the link you should be able to see how the code is structured to created them manually if you prefer.

Provided your suggestion is not to replace existing weapons I'd have no objection. As I said personally I'd probably only use the Huge.

Cool, thanks very much for that!

oh no not at all, I don't want anything to happen to MC's either, just adding a new option. like I said, more of a beam laser to pulse suggestion

Thanks dude. Been wondering the same thing about links for a while.
