(SPLIT) from What is your favourite playable faction?, Superweapons in mods

in my opinion, the eclipse was like the deathstar. just one big target that needs to be eliminated. i never use it when playing online.

[vadereclipse]

you never CAN use it when playing online unless playing a mod or custom map, of which i have never seen.

[grandadmiralbeck]

well the eclipse was pretty awesome and i used the death star all the time when playing online in lack GC. but the eclipse II was even better, so i think it would be cool if it was in the mod as well.

i like superweapons

[vadereclipse]

i think several superweapons should never be used, though due to engine limitations, such as the world devestator and sun crusher.

[Isamu]

you can use it if its a mod.

[vadereclipse]

the WD is in one VERY VERY BAD mod. the WD is the ep[itome of the inbalanced all-ships-hanving-superlasers unbalance.
also, the sun crusher? should not be in a mod. it would destroy ships, planets and likewise easily and nothing would destroy it.

[grandadmiralbeck]

im confused, does WD stand for World Devastator, and what mod are you talking about. and the sun crusher would be awesome, and canon!

[Isamu]

the sun crusher would be too unballenced to put in a mod since it is indestructable.

[grandadmiralbeck]

yeah that is true. it would make it too unbalanced. and if you made it destroyable, that wouldnt be canon.... i like the sun crusher though

[aNaRcHiSt44]

I think the mod he was referring to was A Galaxy Divided, because it is rather unbalanced and possesses the World Devestator.
I agree with vadereclipse; no more than one or two super weapons should ever be used.

[grandadmiralbeck]

ah yes that mod pretty much sucked. not only did every ship have a superlaser, but the super lasers were absolute crap.

well not many factions had more than 2 superweapons at a time, so that would be fine i guess.

[vadereclipse]

sonic0 is notorious for being a worse rigger (converter) than nomada. that's saying something.
galaxy gun- i actually think with a bit of work, that could be accomplished. the ZC's plasma cannon projectile could be used as the galaxy gun's projectiles.

[grandadmiralbeck]

that actually is kind of a good idea. but i wonder what arbiter thinks?

[vadereclipse]

i imagine they would add their own particle, with Dr. Nick's effect enhancement.
sun crusher- IMO, big no-no. indestructible, overpowered, something that sounds like it came from sonic0.
WD- sonic0 is enough proof that it doesn't work. in space, it is slightly better, but still, irt is Overpowered.
galaxy gun- one of the few superweapons that I think would work.

[Isamu]

yea it could destroy a planets space station or something cool like that!

[grandadmiralbeck]

i think the WD would work, it could just move around slowly, and anything that gets in a certain radius gets destroyed. while it pumps out tie droids. there was a mod out there that did a good job on the WD, i cant remember which one though

[Isamu]

i would think the WD is more for resources than destroying a planet though

[aNaRcHiSt44]

I remember when you had to destroy World Devestators in Rogue Squadron on N64......that was the best game for it's time......
The World Devestator might work, but I prefer the Galaxy Gun idea.

[vadereclipse]

Judging AGD, the WD won't work. at least not on land.

[Isamu]

the galaxy gun would be more usefull too in my opinion
