Thank God. Just make sure to add little sparkly bits coming off the main beam and I'll be a happy camper.
I don't care if you just rehash the old Ypsilon and make it a glorified laser cannon, I loved that feeling of impending doom when that thing hung overhead. Secondary and tertiary stages were just superfluous after that thing raped your base's roof.

Dunno if this about the ypsilon anymore actually. The point is its a large destroyer spaceship with multiple attacks. The "alpha strike" attack that is the ultimate final "nuke and wtflol ypsilon" like attack similar to the old ypsilon and the most powerful weapon of AAL, but mostly its gonna be a whole new thing made from scratch.

I might need a new name for it too. What would one call a super cool giant destroyer spaceship of doom? What could a good name...?

The Phantom Hammer. Yeaaaaah.

1:
Particle
Phantom
Ypsilon
Sillon
Ion
Iota

2:
Accelerator (1. n. A particle accelerator.)
Artillery (1. n. large but transportable armament)
Carom (1. n. a shot in billiards in which the cue ball contacts one object ball and then the other. 2. n. a glancing rebound.)
Blitz (1. n. a swift and violent military offensive with intensive aerial bombardment. 1. v. attack suddenly and without warning.)

There are a wide range of cool sounding greek letters such as Ypsilon that would work great, and by using one like this you would get a sense of continuation (as in for people who remember ypsilon will see it as an advancement)

Letters (with greek captial and non capital symbols) -

Αα Alpha
Νν Nu
Ββ Beta
Ξξ Xi
Γγ Gamma
Οο Omicron
Δδ Delta
Ππ Pi
Εε Epsilon
Ρρ Rho
Ζζ Zeta
Σσς Sigma
Ηη Eta
Ττ Tau
Θθ Theta
Ιι Iota
Φφ Phi
Κκ Kappa
Χχ Chi
Λλ Lambda
Ψψ Psi
Μμ Mu
Ωω Omega

(I removed Upsilon because it is the same as Ypsilon, the same letter in greek)
Other characters and oboslete letters -

Digamma, Qoppa, San, Sampi, Stigma, Sho, Heta

(All lovingly ripped from wikipedia)

Ones I personally like are Omega, Theta, Digamma, Heta, Omicron and Kappa

If I had to pick from the list, I would pick Iota.

However, Iota is commonly used as a way of saying something is very small or insignificant, not at all what this weapons gonna be like if his other mods are anything to judge by

Yeah.
Iota Accelerator.
See?

Or, like, Iota Bombarder.
It bombards insignificant things!


(Phew, that improvisation actually worked out. -_-;)

BEHOLD MY MASTERPIECE, THE IOTA CANNON! FIRE!!!

*poit*

Anyway, lol. Hmmm... how about the Omega Destructor Cannon? Might not make too mcuh sense, but I get a good vibe from it. I derive a little inspiration from the phrase 'I am alpha and omega', which is to mean the beginning and the end by my understanding.

Just make it cause an athmospheric eletromagnetic storm that makes the sky turn red and call it the Crazy Sunshine Cannon. Greek names tend to get boring pretty fast if overused. (Though I'm a big fan of Lambda and Sigma. Alpha n' Omega also sounds nice.)

see: insability inc.

srsly though, get working on this. i'd prefer it to be a "boss type" enemy/superweapon, but its really more about it being reusable, rather than a one time use "lol that was OPd *delete*" type mod.

The Yp could be interesting as a constant use thing. Little to no terrain damage, and able to be scrolled sideways, kept at a certain, accessible height above terrain using GetAltitude(). Not likely where you're going with the Yp, but I would DL that.

Just to say, you could just take the train code, and

1.) change self.Hover variable or whatever to self.Pos.Y, so that wherever you place it, thats where it stays.
2.)make maxvel = 0
3.) use if (UInputman:KeyHeld(1)) then self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X - 10 and (UInputman:KeyHeld(4)) then self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X + 10 for side to side movement. Not that hard

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I would require a working copy of the Yp for b23, which I don't have, and I'm too lazy to untangle the b20/b21 mess of the Yp strung all throughout AAL2.rte.
Still, when this Yp is finished...

Call it the "You are so ♥♥♥♥ right now"

Infact, make it announce it's presence just before it attacks.

"BZZ

YOU ARE SO ♥♥♥♥ RIGHT NOW

BZZ"

*BOOM*
