I have fitted 800mm autocannon on my machariel. Well, everything is ok excepted the crappy effect when you fire.
It's just ugly.
Well, the disclaimer of dominion with bright heavy chaingun burst... what was it if no autocannons? A lie ? =)

800mm Repeaters are quite literally four-already oversized guns, cobbled together out of scrap metal, sticky tape and harsh language, strapped together and glued onto the hull. They aren't made to look pretty, they're made to hurt stuff, badly, often. I think the animation suits perfectly. If you want a pretty fireworks display, shoot lasers :) ------*------ "I like my women like I like my coffee: in a plastic cup" -Eddie Izzard |

Edited by: McRoll on 16/01/2010 13:23:30 Above comment made me lol I imagine a minny engineer cursing and thrashing with a sledge hammer some bolts into a fat ass gun.
But I agree, artillery animation is ****. You'd expect seeing a huge flash of fire and a lot of smoke coming out from a shot, coupled with some massive sound effect. Instead you get a tiny and pitiful smoke cloud. Definitely needs some improvement there.

It would be cool if they made the effect like the giant machine guns in Battlestar Galactica... that is pretty much what an Autocannon is... a giant machine gun. _________________________________________________

I agree. Small/medium autocannons are decent. But I still don't understand why they changed the artillery animation too. Those flashy bolts from the earlier days were just awesome.

Glowing red autocannons, hammering against their mountings with every shot, belching fumes and projectile death into space, spent brass casings chattering from their sides, leaving sparkling trails in the ship's wake.... Maybe one day

Count yourself lucky, missile users don't get any effects or animations at all, just a rubbish ball of light that comes from the centre of our ships.

Ugly barely begins to describe it.
From what I can remember, it's not even a pyramid, just a triangle.
And also, they're 800mm guns!!!
They should be far more impressive than they are now, with the sort of meh bang and puff of smoke.

At least small and med ACs look good, all hybrid animation look bad. Look at the dominion vid, you see clearly ACs firing, lasers all accross the screen, but no hybrids, there animation is barely visible and they look crap.
