Functionally a giant mass driver, role somewhere between dumb rockets and forge gun. A massive cannon with low magazine size (3-4) that fires gargantuan shells the size of a man's arm. Shells follow a parabolic arc. Can be loaded with high AOE shells for area denial role, or Ap rounds for anti-vehicle/building. And of course something inbetween for higher CPU/power cost.
I just wanna shoot mah cannon D:
Pros:
- Fires immediately (no spinup/charge/etc)
- HIgh AoE size and damage
- Weapon range is immense, allowing it to literally be used like artillery, firing across the map with spotters.
Cons:
- Loading time between rounds is very high (Must manually cycle them into chamber.About the same time it takes forge gun to charge)
- Shells travel in an arc (you must compensate)
- Low magazine size
- Low shield damage

I want to say no, but this could fit in. I could also see the Minmatar Make a Hand-Held Tank Gun |

This sounds like a overcharged MD, but it could quickly become op, you might want to set a minimum range for the shells as well to compensate for the high AOE and so it would behave more like actual artillery. |

A HEAVY MASS DRIVER.
Seems in-character for the Minmatar. |

Could model two different guns or varients for cannons that reflect RL
A large bore cannon that fires explosive shells at short range (seige, anti infantry gun). slow fire rate. (ISU-150, brumbar)
A high velocity gun that shoots less explosive rounds, faster fire rate. (panzer, abrams, most standard battle tanks) |

Add a few more drawbacks
High alpha but does really low damage (in other words LONG reload) overtime and suv railgun turn speed
I'm thinking a relatively weak but large splash bit with a crazy amount of direct damage (over 2000 for standard) |

Or a short range if it is a seige gun on a tank. |

Seige artillery like that would be rather impressive honestly.
it should have a minimal allowed range of fire, and it would have to have a maximum.. though the possibilities are rather good...sounds like something heavy only too.
and would need to be a heavy CPU/PG draw in the first place, that's for damned sure. |
