id like to report a bug (assuming its one)

its the barbarossa cannon, when i putted many of them on a single ship (the herzog) and putted them all in a single group and set to "alternate", when id shoot them they would charge-up but at the last second, power-down and skip to the next cannon, all that i a loop that ends up not shooting anything.

they work fine when in a linked group tho

[Thule]

thanks for the report Phyrex.

I just tested it myself and you are absolutly right. It's charging up and switches to the next weapon in the group repeating the process without ever shooting.

To be honest i have no idea what could cause that kind of behavior.

[phyrex]

on another note, your mod is awesome and incredibly beautiful 
nice name too, (barbarossa, herzog )

what does HCVP stands for ? (or however you write it lol, those little burst-firing cannons)

[Uomoz]

thanks for the report Phyrex.

To be honest i have no idea what could cause that kind of behavior.

add:

   "autocharge":true,

to the barbarossa wpn file and let me know if it's fixed .

i actually wanted to suggest that in my first post but i forgot to write it XD

[Thule]

Added the autocharge to the weapon file. Fixed. Thanks.

@Phyrex

HVPC stands for High Velocity Pulse Cannon.

im curious, did you changed theire sound ? the sound of those guns in uumoz's corvus was much more intense and agressive than what they were when i tried your mod as a standalone.

in any, the fx are really nice

[Thule]

i changed the weapon sounds to mono and i think i reduced volumes overall.
The reason behind the volume change was the weapon sounds were overlapping ui sounds, and it got pretty fast pretty loud and mushy (<-- if this is a word).
The change to mono was due to Cycerins hint in his thread where he did the same.
The ingame sound engine would sometimes overload when to much stereo was going on at the same time. Combined i think thats what is responsible for the lesser "BOOM" the weapons used to have

darn, the sound they used to make when firing was really an adrenaline kicker (imo)

i love games and mods with good sound effect to put the mood in perspective. like the hadron collider cannon. when you hear the charging sound that thing does before firing, you know your in for one hell of a ride. your barbarossa cannon is nice too i'd be curious to know where you picked the name. its pretty colorful (if you can say that of a word lol)

edit : oh, or cycerin's solenoid quench cannon, another favorite of mine. its a real bonus that the firing animation itself is so intricate

Two concepts for the Herzog class.
Want to get rid of one of the weapon slots and was thinking about it covering it up with a decorative.
Not very convinced myself though

the basic idea is good, the execution tho, not so much.
but you're definitively on to something

[Wyvern]

The Herzog is an interesting beast... but easily decoyed; I'd actually suggest making some of its weapon arcs not full 360 turrets.  Right now, if I cruise up to one with a "tank" type ship, every gun on the Herzog will focus on the tank - and its normal variants simply don't have the kinetic firepower to threaten that tank.  Which leaves it totally open to being attacked by, well, anything and everything else I can field.

Narrower arcs for, say, the small & some of the medium guns would prevent it from focusing everything on one target, and make it much more capable of fending off multiple simultaneous attacks.  It would also reduce the amount of firepower it was capable of throwing in any one direction, which might - depending on your reasoning - negate the need to remove a weapon slot.

[Sproginator]

Put it in the middle so as not to sacrifice a weapon slot
