Main cannon/unique superweapon
« on: January 15, 2012, 05:22:33 AM »

Hello, I got the game just today and I've got to say it's fantastic!

However one thing me and a friend kinda felt was missing was some kind of unique main cannon of some sort
for the bigger ships. i.e. a weapon that might drain all of your vent but delivers a really powerful shot.

I realize it would be hard to balance, but figured I might throw the idea out there.

I'm 50/50 about this. If they were to have a superweapon/main gun then they would have to sacrifice other weaponry like all the missile slots etc to make room for it. In my personal opinion there should be a separate class of ships that support this like a siege type of ship.

On the other hand bigger ships do come with a lot of health which kinda makes up for this.

On the balancing issue like I said other weaponry should be sacrificed too so that the player should be more careful when using this type of ship.

Good idea though I like it.
