Higby wants ideas to make ES tank secondaries cooler.

The vulcan blows on men and it's only good on the most ******** of pilots. It's excellent at point blank vehicle encounters. But after mucking about with the Halberd on my Harrasser for a couple of days now, I took the Vulcan off of my Prowlers for a Halberd. It's better on men, it's the same value on stupid pilots and while it's not the crazy point blank DPS of the vulcan, it's far better at ranges prowlers engage at when using lock down.

Yeah, I have no intention of getting the Vulcan in its current state. I have the Marauder though and I like it, really helps at suppressing infantry and elimating any clusters of them.

Just better effects on Saron PPC mech warrior online

PPA should just be a heavy lasher

Way can't the halberd be laser guided and effect on a javelin

Tr more dakka

The Enforcer ML85 should be a gauss cannon. It seems the obvious evolution of NC weaponry.

It would be a simple solution as you wouldn't really need to change how the weapon works just redo the graphics on the gun and projectile.

Before youc an make something "cooler" it needs to be better, best example the Empire spcific AI-Secondarys for tanks...they are the worst. Make the enjoyable to use give the PPA the sound of your Pistol 3 example and every vanu will be happy

I mean LA. My mistake.

And don't confuse 'is OP' for versatility.

Modified enforce is not bad, as an AV weapon. THe vulcan and Sauron however, are usable in some extent against everything. If an NC vanguard wants that, it might as well roll a basalisk.

first step would be to fire the guy(s) who designed and approved the enforcer-modified (shotgun secondary for vanguard)

Vulcan isn't as good against infantry as you might think, and only kills air that dare hover within 50m long enough for a clip, it has some pretty dreadful CoF that restricts its use to vehicles. Again, this is second hand stuff as I haven't used it much myself beyond its AV role. And the Saron was nerfed in its use against infantry and air too I think.

Basically, whatever the Halberd can do, the Enforcer can do, and the Halberd is just as good at dealing with air and infantry as the Vulcan and Saron is.

And you confused me with your 'is OP' line, possibly due to my lack of sleep :s

The Enforcer ML85 is amazing against infantry you just need to get good at using it. It's a OHK.

Flying Infil? Are we playing the same game?

The focus shouldn't be on daft interpretation of es flavour. It should be about complementing empire design.
That means no more lock ons for tr. No more camera missiles or shotguns for shotgun sake for nc.

My suggestions.
Saron variants.
VHV- very high velocity shot. Increased velocity if shot and higher armour piercing. With lower damage. Easier to hit things st damage trade off.
Quad gun- four barrel saron. Can rapidly fire four shots when holfing fire. Reduced damage oer shot plus increased reload.

Emp cannon - lower range cannon that does lhigh damage fall off. Low damage in exchange for crippling effect on vehicles. Speed reductio. Reload reduction. Shield removal or maybe ability disabled.

A high damage long reload real cannon for nc with a slow turret turn rate. Long range cannon.

No it's not, the Saron can be used as a sniper rifle

Are you kidding me? You can´t read or what?

Saron Stats are exactly the SAME as Halberd.
Saron is -50 velocity + no Drop
Halberd is + 50 Velocity + minmal Drop

So you say slower bullet velocity is what makes a good sniper yes?
You must be the only person in the world who thinks so...

But the mounted PPA actually needs buffs.

And, a graphical overhaul. Remove 'discoball', reintroduce the dubstep beam.

they need to be stabilized, that alone would make them 1000 % cooler

The NC's coilguns are pretty cool and all, but you know what's cooler?

Rail guns.

Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-***** in space!

I am saying that almost No Bullet drop means it hits what you aim it at.....Unlike the Halberd.
I thought i was making an easy point.

With the news of the incoming crossbow, I think we should be looking at giving the NC a catapult, the TR a Ballista, and the VS a charge up rock throwing machine.

Introducing the new Medieval Mode! The NC get a trebuchet, the TR get a hwacha, and the VS get a plasma slingshot! XD

It has a Trigger Delay... and less velocity.. do you know what these words mean?
A Saron is a downgrade compared to a Halberd... the only upside is that it looks better on a Magrider...

I dont think you ever used one of this weapons?
