    The item I'd like to propose is a gatlin gun style laser system that allows up to 5 guns of any type to be loaded into each item that would take up one laser slot in the ship, firing them in a slightly rapid fire manner.
    The rate of fire for standard ammo would not be noticed as it would look like regular firing rate for the lasers, but with RSB ammo and only RSB ammo there would be a 90% reduction in cooldown between volleys.

    The non- rsb laser sound and look "that means any NON-RSB AMMO" with this item would be SIMILAR to that of rsb ammo but continuous and NOT in spurts, the laser color would be determined by the laser type that the normal ship equipped lasers would display when equipped to this item.

    There is a limit of 3 units per ship and no other lasers can be placed in the ships laser slots when this system is employed.
    This tech does not work with any other cool down boosters.

    It will be possible to upgrade this item with a suggested improvement rate of 4.5% per upgrade and with a suggested maximum upgrade of level 16, the upgrades will improve the accuracy instead of the damage of the lasers equipped.

    The suggested price of this item would be 50k uri.

    This would add 12 lasers more to a goliath,resulting in a total of 57 lasers,and many people have 57 lf-4.UFEs gain uridium super fast due to their extremely strong equipment and they would be the first ones to get it.They would be able to pulverize newbs even easier.Not a good idea.

    No it won't, There is a limit of 3 units per ship and no other lasers can be placed in the ships laser slots when this system is employed.<<<<<The reason no ship will have more than 15 guns with this tech, not even the Goli.

  4. i think this thread has a similar idea on my previous post, the one you suggest is not that much detailed though, you say that if equipped, no other type of lasers can be equipped if lets just say you already equipped 3 of them on a ship? then i wont be able to equip more lasers on the ship but i can still equip lf4s on my drones? i think its complicated that way

    Yes, no lasers can be equipped in the ships laser slots when these items are equipped. And yes lasers can still be placed into the drones.
    This removes the option of placing more lasers than the goliath ship can hold.

    I spaced the items to hold lasers in increments of 5 each to make them effective for the plain ships from starfighter class to battle cruiser.
    I made sure that a maximum of 15 lasers and only 15 lasers would be possible to equip into this item in order to benefit the goliath ship hence the limit of 3.

    I updated the original post with some other features, I'm sure they will make this item fun to have.

  6. Your idea seems too complicated, equipping these types of lasers on a ship will prevent the player to equip other type of lasers? it should be a type of tech not a type of laser cannon, like having 90% cooldown reduction to your laser reload in a few seconds like 3 seconds would pulvurize a newbie before a second passes, do you know how fast it is having 90% cooldown reduction? its not similar to rsb, its much OP than the rsb, adding it up the ammo of x4 or the rsb can kill a cube in just 10 or even 5 seconds.

    lets say 100 melee second is 1 second, and a second pass by so fast, 1 second is 1 attack, reduce it to 90% it will turn to 1 attack per 10 melee second, thats 10 attack per 1 second and thats like 1m damage per second considering ultra elites having more than 80k damage to their x4 sepped double boosted, kappa boosted, clan boosted and the bio

    It isn't a laser, it's a weapons system. The limitations were explained.
    The cooldown boost is with rsb ammo only, also explained in the description.
    That's a lot of unnecessary math considering the post was thought to be easy to read and understand.
    I'll return to the post and elaborate further on the limitations.
     
  8. after you edited the post it seems a bit clearer now, so as you say it is a weapon system but i think it still similar to LF-3s and LF-4s because it requires equipping on the laser slot of the ship and after we equip like 3 of them, we cannot equip any other lasers on the ship except on the drones.

    weapons system and laser firing cannon, weapons system is defined as the ship's capability of making an attack, and that is your gatlin laser system which means it is a type of laser.
    laser firing cannon is what a gatlin laser system would be and is defined as weapons system.

    i would suggest that this type of laser should be automatic, like a sentry gun that will attack anything that moves in a small radius and separately equipped from the laser slots of a ship, and add up an additional slot system to ships that can equip this type of weapon similar to the addition of hellstorm rocket launchers of ships.

    its a great idea if it would be a separate weapons system other than the LF-3s and LF-4s

    I agree but that would entail the notion of ships getting insane amounts of lasers as implied in reply #2 should it be implemented like say War Machine's shoulder cannon that seemingly acts independently or with little direct control.

    Besides the cannon notion brings images of 5 guns firing at one time as opposed to the gatlin style weapon system that entertains the image of an item with 5 lasers fastened to it that spins and fires the lasers in single fire rapid succession.
     
  10. im imagining the animation, and looks like it would be entertaining to see it rain bullets to your enemies.

    i think this kind of thing will fit for the citadel

    Aw that would look awesome, not really the direction I'd go with it but yea it would benefit that ship too.
