Yeah, I've been looking into getting a tower. Don't need something that plays all games at max graphics. But better than a laptop will do fine. Was looking at geforce 400 cards and a few gigs ram. But the naming grades for CPU still eludes me.

i3 is weakest, i5 is midline, cheaper than i7 but with a good enough graphics card, runs games fine. i7 (or i9 and i7xx) are the highest grade, with the best speeds.
2600k is a great i7, quad core, good to OC, and handles most current games with ease (it will run Crysis 2 along with a GTX 590 on max settings with fraps also running).

Get yourself a GTX 560ti (or a pair in SLI) and you'd be fine.

I love your ships man. They are EPIC

8GB should have you set for anything unless you plan on abusing 50 windows of Photoshop or something.

Really, Yoshi should head down to reddit.com/r/buildapc and get some good advice.  A $600-650 i3-2100 build w/ an HD6570 or HD7850 is a much better choice for mid-tier gaming.

*edit* We should move this to a new thread elsewhere so we don't hijack Flash's thread.

So, about dem pewpew lasers? 

[FlashFrozen]

*wakes up to find all these posts... *

*pokerface*

Hmm changing my whole faction into fighters so they can repair mid fight.... lol......

and ahhh ciago, is your laptop running a dedicated graphics card or integrated? if it's integrated that would explain framerate issues, cpu won't help much there.

I've always wanted to try a alternating/ multi barrelled laser beam setup, but i highly doubt it's currently possible.

[IIE16 Yoshi]

Okim has a tri-beam laser in his Ironclads mod. Maybe take a look at that little thing?

[FlashFrozen]

Just tried it out, it's okay, but i was thinking more like dual flaks, each barrel fires one at a time, instead of simultaneously, even with okims triple barreled laser, it'll ignore the alternating fire type.

but it was a nice lead anyways so thanks.

[IIE16 Yoshi]

Can't simply give the weapon extra barrels and the right positioning?

[FlashFrozen]

Then it would simply be like a guardian pd

[ciago92]

nah, its dedicated. it was supposed to be a gaming laptop, but it overheats a ton. dv-7. its only like two years old

Could you merge the autopulse laser's coding and the assault chaingun's graphic and animation into a repeating laser cannon/gatling laser?

That's also something Okim has accomplished in his Ironclads mod. 
The Gatling Laser. I think what Flash wants to create is something like the Hephaestus Gun. Multi-barreled carnage, but one barrel at a time, not all of them at once and not like the Assault Chaingun. There's an idea, why not just frankenstein the HAG?

Or the Mark IX autocannon. If yo look closely you'll see it is multi barrelled, but they fire so quickly and with such tightness leaving the muzzle it looks like it's fired from in between the barrels.

[IIE16 Yoshi]

That's what it was called. 
Couldn't remember if it was the Mark IV or the Mark IX, so I left it out. But yeah, that monster is a good example too.
