    The cannons I am proposing offer damage based on the maximum shield strength of the ship employing this tech.
    The damage will be 20% of the maximum shield strength of the ship.
    A restriction of 500 dmg will be imposed per cannon and a limit of only 5 guns per ship.
    These cannons can not be used in concert with any other lasers neither in ship or drone.

    The suggested price would be 20k Uri

    Why would someone buy this? It has the same cost of 10 LF-3s, which would be more powerful than this.

    This is pretty ridiculous, just a no from me lol.
     
  4. Hello, I'm Mr Atom and today I'll be taking you all for a quick lesson in Maths. :D

    500 x 5 = 2500

    That is the very highest you'll be able to hit. In a goli, you'll have 31 slots to put shields in if you're FE and even more if you have apis and zeus which is easily enough to get enough shield to be able to hit 500 per laser and considering you can't have any other lasers equipped at the same time makes this even less plausible.

    Comparing this to 15 LF3, which would cost the same as five of these lasers, the 15 LF3 would do a 2250 which yes is less than five of your lasers at their maximum possible damage. On a weaker ship the lasers would hit less than 500 meaning that potentially the 15 LF3s would be stronger.

    Also LF3s don't stop you from having other lasers on your ship so you can have more LF3s which granted, would raise the cost to above the 150k that five tech cannons would cost, but you would hit harder and it would only take two more LF3s on top of the 15 to hit harder than five of those cannons which would bring the cost up to 170k.

    I could take LF4s into account but I won't since LF4s are down to luck but either way, it's a no from me.

    I see, then I'll drop the price to 25k Uri.
    Would that assist in swaying your discontent???

    No, I personally would never use these. When I hunt, I go suicide configs. So still no from me.

    Then No for you.....Thank you for your input.

    No from me :D, and what 25k uridium per, your crazy lol.

    The price is still too high???
    Alright, 20K it is.

    Still a no, this idea is useless.

    Perhaps for you, I'm sure someone other than you will find value in this idea.
     
  12. BOSS~ADAM

    Three people gave feedback so far, all said no, I think your the only one that could find use in this idea.

    That is hardly fair since two of the three always say no first and continue to do so, no matter how wrong they are.
    Of the two, one goes as far as to contact support as opposed to admitting their flawed reasoning and moving on.

    Are you saying that our opinions are wrong?
     
  15. BOSS~ADAM

    BOSS~ADAM User

    I think your idea is flawed if it gets this much opposition, I doubt it's our opinions.
     
  16. VESPID

    VESPID User

    I'm saying opinions alone without assisting suggestions are worthless.
     
  17. BOSS~ADAM

    BOSS~ADAM User

    Opinions are awesome :), some prefer not to type an essay and just say no lol.

    Why would someone use this, they'd hit next to nothing, no matter what extra effect this might have, it would still hit to low to be of any use and for 20k uridium a piece, ridiculous, this idea isn't feasible so no.

    It improves with the pilots ship considering the shields that they would have to buy anyway.

    5 of these lasers = approximetely 2500 damage not factoring in any bonuses from shields.

    ''The damage will be 20% of the maximum shield strength of the ship.''

    400k shields = 80k damage from 5 lasers, not including any extra damage bonuses from other lasers including Lf3's Lf4's boosters and havocs. So...no.

    A restriction of 500 dmg per gun is imposed.
    Thank you for trying.
