Ah, but they can make Bangers and Mash cannons!

-Shotgun: burst of some number all at once

These things are the L2+ versions of flamethrower mechs, right? If so, I like this idea.

French fries? Clearly the GD would use the potatos to make Vodka!

Shotgun would be good, that could be set to have a bit more range since that'd cause less damage the further you are away.

Personaly I realy would like "Mass Driver"....

why mass driver?...

rail guns

mass drivers

coil guns

gauss guns


they are all on a fundamental level the same sort of weapon, they all use magnets to direct a projectile to great speed, it just a differentiation on the placement and manner of the magnets or magnetic fields.

the Purpose of the cannon weapon is to replicate the flamethrower weapon at lvl 2, to do this properly I believe a shotgun weapon is in order, why do you ask, well let us examine:

Flamethrower: spreads at range does most damage at short with only a few hits at long, hits multiple targets at all ranges

Shotgun: spreads at range does most damage at short with only a few hits at long, hits multiple targets at medium to long range..

So with little modification a shotgun achieves almost the same effect as a flamethrower from a balance standpoint, I could suggest that it is a submunitions rail slug and thus give it noexplode=1 meaning it will go through multiple targets doing quite alot of damage...

(Oh and KDR the weapon in earth 2160 was a gaussian beam not a gauss rifle and I believe they were entirely different from eachother.. just a note)

Do flamethrowers spread? Last I tried using one for a spreading weapon in CvC it always came out in a single focussed beam.

(The manual claims the gauss cannon is a gauss gun that has the projectile bouncing from target to target.)

its not a cannon though, and yes flamethrowers spread a bit...

It was a gaussian beam weapon..


OH look a new mex...

OH NOE DOUBLE POST!!

Ohez Noez! DP!!!! nice looking mex mate keep up the good work!

Er... where's the rest?

neddiedrow, you're silly

You've broken my mind.

Last night I tried my first game of EE after a long period of not playing spring, mainly because I am terrible at spring and never really got better or enjoyed playing.

I do, however, enjoy this mod alot and I have fun even when I get my ass kicked (which is every game).

So i would just like to say, SICK MOD!

That's the point. If you're having fun even when you're losing horribly, it's a good game.

I meant where are the rest for those people that aren't in the loop...

glad to see intrest in this mod is still going strong..

this mod just rox. Those poor ppl that aren't aware of what they're missing just need to be delivered.

Yes this mod is great. Pretty much all game I've made on where just so cool, ( it's prehaps the players too? )
...it's just that we should find a way to have more game.
