Weapons Of genocide- Your 'dream weapons of mass destruction' wishlist

for over a week now I have noticed there has been almost no activity on this part of the forum, so here is a fun post to spice things up!

If you had a weapon/ module design (could be simple or outrageous :D) that could create a significant advantage in the Thargoid war, what would it/they be?


Mine would be;

-AX Pack hound missile (seeker of course ;) )- with more damage than gauss per shot ( 64 as opposed to 38.5 according to ED wiki) these would make potent weapons at exerting hearts on even the toughest of Thargoids, being pack hounds, their DPS would also be significantly higher, at the cost of chewing ammo pretty quick.

- Size 4 Gauss- a little outrageous I know, but I have always had a strange love for giant Si-fi Rail guns, this would bring a very big smile to my face! it would obviously need an internal heatsink/vent to disperse heat to prevent ships from boiling using it.

-Capitol AX Ships- Standard capitol outfitted with AX protection and armaments, numerous Shutdown neutralisers installed to crucial modules, Guardian Gauss and AX multi's instead of the standard rail cannon and multi cannons on the basic ships. oh, and it deploys guardian fighters for the extra kick. in essence, this would allow for Thargoid CZ scenarios and extremally epic battle scenes!!! catch is that all kills should be reduced by 1/2-3/4 to accommodate for the support and not follow the donkey system that exists currently with capitol ships in CZ (where you get almost no kill rewards if you are in proximity).


-Pacifier shard cannon- Ultimate weapon to win the war! it's range, damage and spread would chew through almost all types of Thargoids with ease! would be very fun to use and effective indeed!

I have many more, but I will leave the rest to your imagination! ;)
 
Size 4 Flak launcher - one round and the swarm is history

Modified pakhound that targets the thargoid swarm

OK, there may a pattern developing here.
 
Class 4 guardian plasma cannons

Charge up your shot, blow 40% + 2 hearts out of a cyclops......

Bill

Ps. When returning to a station afterwards, the ATC can remark "Your ship looks a little melted there.." :D
 
Upgraded Mycoid virus missiles. That’ll send the bugs packing.

Failing that, something analogous to the anti-Species 8472 warheads from Voyager.
 
Weaponised Thargoid Sensor interference effect. Basically, missile payload,, progressively shuts down systems like a virus.

Think of it like a digital mycoid.
 
Lol, Jay can't stop until he has his big railgun^^ :D

- Guardian Kinetic missiles (sentinel weaponry adapted as ship weapons, heavy impact for enemy ship displacement and thargoid swarm destruction)

- Thargoid lightning cannon

- Point-supercruise torpedo: basically a mass-heavy warhead that hyper-accelerates to supercruise when fired for dramatic impact, c4 only, one shot.

- Airburst cannon: A simply burst projectile launcher that fires airburst rounds at a very high rate https://youtu.be/4UolMYY7QaA?t=95 all you need to annoy thargs, low armor-pen but blast damage.

The Huge Gauss Gun. You need to launch a heat sink before you fire this baby and press the trigger precisely at 0% heat or it will turn your ship into a Nova!
 
i just want to launch skimmers... maybe launch isnt the right word. but like shoot them with a slingshot.

Well, it could be offset with a huge charge time (which actually makes it soo much more awesome!) imagine charging it up for 7 seconds for it to unleash devastating damage!!! To compete with the size 2 dps it would have to do around 490 DAM!!! isn't that crazy!!! :D
 
AX Ship Launched Cutters!

*Chuckles in the background*


If a cutter could launch mini cutters, and those cutters launched cutters.. would that be Cut-ception? :D

You know, with this guardian Voodoo magic we have now, they may one day squeeze the cutter's size into a suitcase, then have it pop up like origami when deployed :D

Once we can leave our seats, we may even get handheld guardian cutters as personal firearms. This will happen for sure!
 
The TAB bomb from the original Elite. I have forgotten the proper name, sorry. You bought one, when you pressed TAB key, everything within a pretty big radius of your ship took damage (and nearly always died).

Ahh the good old days lol
