#Starmade weapon systems drivers

AMCs become precision weapons for draining shields and taking out small craft.ģ) Mass Drivers At this point, we need something with some punch to it. Armor would be effective because of the necessity to “focus down” individual blocks thus increasing the time to cut through a hull. This then because the anti small craft and shield weapon, as the DPS is enough to take out small craft and in large arrays drain shields. The AMC arrays would eventually approach beam weapon status as we lose the ability to see the time between rounds. There would be no penetration on AMCs and the damage per shot would have to be much less than the HP per block. There would not be much damage per shot, but this would compensate by firing faster the more blocks you have. I propose that we change the AMC to maximize its DPS by decreasing the reload rate as arrays get larger. It is just the best and I think we all know that, no need to say anything more. One good against shields, the other good against hulls.Ģ) Lasers, (AMC) The AMC is the current weapon of choice for all players. I propose that the next two weapons be specialized. I do not feel much of a change is needed here, but now comes the bigger changes. Missiles will be useful on bombers and ships that can take shields down quickly and get close. In this way, missiles will become close range weapons. Do not change the range or just add a slight buff. To make missiles viable I say boost the speed slightly. I think these have a very important role to play but are not playing it well. They are very good against hulls but their range and speed make them almost useless. Missiles As they are, missiles do not seem to be used very much. I think a look at pulsars and power drain beams as is worth a look, but not at the moment. These should be missiles, lasers, and mass drivers. These three weapons should be the main source of DPS for a ship. I've been thinking a lot about the weapon systems lately and think the game should move toward a system of three weapons. The recent balance made some people happy and others upset. In this post, I want to discuss the weapons in the game. I love this game, and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Greetings folks, I want to discuss the future of Starmade. Missiles good for very large damage but only at very close range. Mass Drivers good vs hull b/c of large damage per shot and AOE but weak against shields.

shields b/c of fast fire rate not damage per shot. Need 3 weapons to make combat more interesting.

Once you place a CPU and add the Arrays, you can see if they are linked. Without the CPU, you will not be able to use the Missile Arrays. The Missile Module needs to be linked to a Missile Computer on your vessel. A big group will offer higher damage and higher energy consumption. Meaning, the more Modules you connect to each other, the better the missile will be.

Like with all the other weapon systems in Starmade, the Missile Module profits from a group. The third and most complex way is to gather resources and build it in a factory. Also, you can get it from salvaging ships. The Missile Module is sold at the shop for 1,500 credits the Missile Computer is 15,000 Credits. Without Computer slaved to them, these Missiles will only fly in a straight line after being fired. The Missile Module are a high damage, high energy cost, and high reload Weapons System.
