    Hey guys! I just joined- and I had a new weapon idea. It's basically a long-ranged carronade that shoots in a straight line. Good damage, but takes 2 slot points.
    Thought it'll be fun to edit, make the stats and share it! If nothing more, count it as a piece of fanart :)

    Thanks and hope you guys liked it!

    Sounds great! Maybe an admin will read this and send it over! Huge advantage to the guys on top though. I mean, a epic mk3 of this beast would devastate any standing ship in range

    Thanks! Maybe make the cooldown 15-18 secs and reduce the damage increase per level. Hopefully that'll balance it a bit.

    Hoe do u suggest the firing mechanism will be? Shots fired milliseconds apart, or a sort of combined fire like the Carronade, but at a long range?
    Also, what should the Perk system be like for this beast?

    Shots fired milliseconds apart so you can see those epic bullets streaking towards the enemy one by one xD. The perks are regular cannon perks and hmm how about a specific perk that reduces interval between shots. It makes it more likely for all of them (especially the last) to hit.

    I would really love ascending damage. The first shot is pewpew, but the last has OP damage. The perks in my opinion should be focused on healing. That is, reduces healing on the target by X percent for X seconds. What do you say?

    Oooh I like the ascending damage idea! Takes skill to play with that beast.
    Im not too sure bout the healing penalty though, I think flare guns have it. Still, definitely worth considering by all means.

    I didn't know about the healing thing. About the ascending damage thing, I would love it if it was a gamble: The first three shots are pewpew, but the last three are beasts. What I want is to make a player take a gamble: Will they go for the low risk, average damage part of the salvo, or will they go for the high risk, OP reward part of the shot?
    Also, if they are shot milliseconds apart, it might make gear lube more of an option: Players can shoot the cannon while moving the turret: Like a machine gun spray.
    Finally: I thought of a great name for the weapon: The Basilisk. Opinions?

    Basilisk Cannon so it's clear that it gets cannon perks? Naming's not really my thing lol. About moving the turret, won't it take a ridiculous amount of skill? Or I just suck:(

    that's the whole point: Make a weapon godlike, it becomes redundant. However, make it only usable by the best and the worthiest, it becomes a beast. A Basilisk is a mythical beast akin to Medusa. The name is due to the fact that unfriends shall freeze in fear when some1 fires this off. Lol. I think we are getting too much into it.

    I know right...
    Speaking of that I'll try to do a pic of it in game. Not sure if my editing skills are up to scratch but worth a try.

    That is going to be a good idea if Rovio added that but, with moderate DMG
