Originally designed to take down trade star class ships in order work as part of a planetary defense system How can this thing shoot down space ships when the projectile doesn't even have the velocity to escape the planets gravitational field

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" It defies the laws of physics and never slows down from 70 MPH...?

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" Nobody said it was a surface-based defence system.

At 70 mph, it would need several minutes to hit the target (assuming said target isn't stupid enough to get within mortar range), so even if the above applied (and it does without breaking the laws of physics if Allstone is correct), this would be utterly useless at anything involving relatively long ranges. It's too slow, damnit!

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" ENOUGH!
Stop discussing the dodgy physics involved. This mod is terrible and hardly worth 3 pages of scientific debate.

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" It really isn't bad for AAL lovers, but I just can't picture it. Put the fire rate up to 3000 for ♥♥♥♥ and giggles though, it was fun for a wee bit.

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" Turn this into a MAC cannon, and THEN your talking!

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" Magnetic Acceleration Cannon, so MAC Cannon is redundant.

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" It may sound better, but it's profoundly stupid. Also, there are more accurate names for those things: railguns or coilguns, depending on the way they accelerate the projectile, though both involve magnetic fields. MAC is kinda... vague, though I'm willing to bet you're talking about a railgun.

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" Railgun doesn't sound as riduculously, over the top powerful as MAC does. MAC is a Cannon, Railgun is merely a gun. Even if they are pretty much identical.

Seriously, neither of them are inherently "cooler", it's all in the presentation. Now go back to arguing about why the sprite is bad, that's actually useful discussion.

Re: T-12 Experemental turret "OverKill" Do not mock railguns.  But, Duh is correct. Back to the horrible sprite discussion. They mainly lack shading, and could use some more colors, the theme isn't really important as long as it looks good and you (along with everyone else) like it. Practice makes perfect!

Re: RailCannon - Update! Fixed sprite, some code changes Update!
fixed the cannons sprite somemore, and made the bullets fire faster. changed name to railcannon.
