A Storm is coming!

Nice, Always a treat to find these.

Reminds me a little of the 'Sequenced Ion Artillery' from Hiigaran Descendants... have I been using a miniature super weapon as normal gear all this time? 

[Mira Lendin]

Did i miss something? What is Tesla Coil?
Also i wonder if this even possible to leave 4k radius fast enough 

A Tesla Coil is a medium-sized Superweapon that acts as a PD solution and has some cool interactions with the Lightning Storm turret, it will be easier to attain than other Superweapons.

I also have some issue with drops from slightly better tech mining, upgraded by story point. I got a few weapons for the first 2-3 cycles, then the drops stopped completely. Its been atleast 30 cycles, no new drops.

That's because you didn't Alpha core the Facility.

Sugestion for future versions:

Create smaller weapons, for those that want to stick superweapons in superfrigates or superdestroyers

Like "Old Hyperion" with superweapons.

Or a small super missile that can fit in the "Excelsior".

Or superweapons that fit Arma Armatura strikecrafts

You can go "full anime" and stick a super rare prototype small weapon in  your unique Armaa mechs and end with a customized "ace" super mech

The topic is small Superweapons is something that has been discussed before, it's really hard to balance small Superweapons as they can be abused on bigger slots for higher efficiency + they can make fast ships with small mounts stronger than some capitals.

That is the whole point of it Why else stick a superweapon on a fragile thing like an Armaa strikecraft? Exactly because then you can go duel the Guardian or something... You can make something like a tiny range weapon but that ignore shields, want to duel the guardian or a radiant using a frigate? You can, if you are courageous enough to somehow touch it to use your super-drill or laser sword or plasma torch, and hope its point defense won't murder you instantly

The concept seems sounds fun but i can't see myself implementing it as i don't like close range weapons.

Sadly, I don't think there's a way to prevent a small weapon from fitting into a large slot... well, unless it's built into the ship.
Ship building however is most likely a bit out of the scope of this mod.

The easiest small superweapons to make:

weaker reaper that recharges.

super reaper that deals more damage.

normal reaper but with 3 ammo, but uses only 2 times the points to install.


reaper is already a "long range" weapon that fits in small slots and already is usedin vanilla as a sort of "risky" superweapon, with luddic path using it to great effect (and to my  annoyance when they kept isntakilling my cool supership flagship while I was busy in a duel with a capital ship... just half a second not paying attention, and there goes tiny luddic path ship shoving reaper in my rear )

I will see what i can do regarding smaller Superweapons, but i can't promise anything.
Meanwhile, here are more spoilers for next update:

[Vexonite]

does this mod have any compatibility issue? with Nexerelin for example?

While this might not be a superweapon on its own, I think you already did a good job showing what a smaller superweapon could be like with the tesla coil - just something interesting and out of the box!

At the end of the day its about making something fun to play with, right?

[jlrperkins]

Nice. I see it's a Medium Hybrid. Did you make it that way on purpose so people wouldn't just use it as a substitute for a Large Ballistic or Large Energy?
