Re: FT-Weapon idea for wave gun

G'day Bif,

I haven't had a chance to look over your ideas as yet, but was wondering
if 
all classes in version (1) all use the same "cone of fire" template and
if 
in version (2) you meant they only hit one ship/

Yep, though I haven't done the work to make them completely sounds as
yet. 
I also think it has to do with whether you play vector or not. In vector

you see a lot more damage faster and the wave gun pails in comparison in
my 
experience, while in cinematic I think it has the potential to have a
much 
larger impact on a game as damage is spread over many more turns and
isn't 
as concentrated.

I'd doubt that actually ;)
You have to power them up, they cost a lot and weigh a fair bit (as far
as 
I can remember) and they effect what other systems can fire, its just
not 
worth the effort in most cases.

Cheers
