Desolator Cannon. Prism Beam. There has to be a way.

Why stop there? Here some ideas:

Genetic Mutator (works like a biobomb. Hey you can't have a mind control bomb)
Iron Curtain Drone (Shield supercharger)
Aircraft Carrier Drones (Hornets)

Virus Sniper (Locks down a room and does massive crew damage)
Terrorist Bomb Launcher (shoots Terrorists at the enemy. Or Demo Trucks. Although this might remind people of the Bullfrog and RA3...)
Mirage Tank Cannon (lights things on fire)

That's a lot of stuff... I'll definitely make the desolator cannon and the mirage cannon (I already did a prism weapon), but I'm not sure about the other stuff. I have a good start on the brainwave enhancer.

And then there's this thing. Its sprite sheet is about 900 pixels wide because one thing needs to be nice and spinny while it reloads, and it really doesn't belong in FTL. Doesn't mean I won't find a way.



"Aw, man! Why aren't we using this thing?"

And none of this Black Mesa nonsense with a non-triangular reactor core, or the weapon not having that awkward open part.

I feel like this bears reiterating. Wow, that's some really nice weapon art that's been coming out these past few days. Kudos to both of you!

Pegasus missiles on crack

The Hornet wouldn't be too hard. Attack Drones have 3 different sprites. One for powered up (green), one for powered down (no lights) and one for firing (red).

The Horney probably only needs 1 sprite for all 3 states.

The Terror Drone Launcher could have a Missile in the shape of a Terror Drone. Forget Terrorists or Demo Trucks. Terror Drones are nasty little buggers that get inside the vehicle and tear it apart. Why not weaponise it?

Now why can't it be a boarding drone? Doesn't work that way in the game code (Boarding Drones follow a single template. You can alter that one but then every enemy ship with boarding drones will be lobbing Terror Drones)

I am planning to use my ballistics mod to basicly make a ship mod in a long time that will use these weapons I made. These are the original Rebel fighter and rigger back when this game was in alpha and beta. I am planning to make them player shits using my ballistics mod.

Anyone thinks it's a good idea?

t-that's a tau cannon!! isn't it?? You should totally make a very fast yellow beam and add the KKHSHHHSH sound to it! I think I have some HL sounds lying somewhere on my disk, if you want I can make a .ogg for you!

EDIT: oh my god-- i just realised, a gluon gun could be like an OP anti-bio beam. 0_0 goshhhhhh

EDIT2: @R4V3: >player shits i'm giggling like crazy here, help me!!
