Weapon Systems

Macross Missile Massacre

Posted on Monday, November 17, 2014

I have some concerns about the way weapons have been handled in GC, I was wondering if small ships and large ships would have drastically different loadouts, Perhaps taking a leaf out of Space Empires' book. As well as different weapons simply having different sizes, you can also research mounts that modify them. Small mounts, heavy mounts, huge mounts, spinal mounts, and the weapon systems were different for fighters ( smaller and miniaturized with different aesthetics, which would presumably be researched and unlocked along side the larger weapons)

I also want to know what sort of aesthetic the different weapons will have.. Will missiles simply be slow firing torpedos, or will they be glorious macross missile massacres? Can you colour the weapons based on your preference to give weapons a faction tailored look? Or even better can you tweak the weapon values manually? Will some weapons be fixed, requiring the ship to manouver to  fire them, or will they be rotatable turrets?
