Hal Morsh Exodus Mining Corp 203	Posted - 2014.11.26 01:13:05 - [1] - Quote I was thinking about plasma and whatnot while working.. Because I use a plasma torch. Anyways hybrid weapons in eve use containment shells with plasma inside. The blasters cycle this into a bolt and shoot it, the containment field dissipates and that essentially makes blasters a plasma shotgun. Now railguns are said to fire the shell directly, while I used to think it fired the shell which shattered on impact I realized not all rail guns had a barrel, more like a blue material energy shoots out of which convinces me it's just firing the contents of the shell yet again at high velocities. The problem I have with guns in eve is usage of ammo, projectile weapons only use 1 shell per cycle of machine guns, same with weapons having two barrels, on top of the fact artillary is apparently rocket guided, where do the rockets come from? The medium dual 250mm railguns are using twin small guns but for convenience it uses medium charges. The weapons all list they use 1 charge per cycle, so maybe CCP intended to use multiple shells for the autocanons. It sure looks like they fire a few each cycle. I don't think if it would be hard to change. Rockets also seem to be the only weapon with a reload animation. CCP - Outpost code is scary. CCP Greyscale - Starbases - They need to look @#$%ing awesome, and people need to want them and want to be around them and have them and use them and like them and want them and stuff.

I intended for it to be a much longer post asking specific questions and the technologies related to real technologies we have now, but then I lost interest and just posted a bunch about gun stuff. One other topic is asking how shields are supposed to work. I couldn't figure out much more than the upgraded shields on the normandy in mass effect rotate. It's dangerous to the ship inside if some shield emitters go out, but reverts to a static shield if such a thing happens. How that's supposed to work is basically if you had your own personal ninja batting away projectiles. Spinning shields bat away projectiles. I unno. Interesting to note the amarr had a superweapon where enemy ships would be crushed by their own shields, minmatar and rouge drones put an end to that one though. CCP - Outpost code is scary.

Problem with the railguns is that like I said, a lot of the railguns don't have barrels, the shot just comes out of the tips, or blue material. One of the large railguns doesn't even have the common blue material. So how would anything but the contents be shot? CCP - Outpost code is scary.

It just poofs out of solid objects unfortunately, and CCP made sure the effects were aligned with the barrels on guns, or rails in this case. Gotta look at the railgun models to see.

One of the large railguns doesn't even have the common blue material. So how would anything but the contents be shot? Railguns don't really need barrels. The acceleration comes from a pair of rails connected to a power supply. The projectile completes the circuit and electromagnetic forces propel it forward. The colored beam could be incandescence from the casing since it would heat up from all that current flowing through. More likely, though, it's a visual effect the devs came up with so that it could be easily recognized. That said, the guns could use some updated models and animations.

None of those could actually function as a railgun. The 200mm and 250mm could maybe work as a coilgun (Gauss gun), emphasis on maybe. B: I agree with Abrazzar in that, each 'round' is probably a pack of ammunition. Your ship's computer most likely simplifies it for you. C: Artillery is rocket assisted. The rockets are... Not in the projectile. I had always assumed that the 'rocket-assisted' part of the artillery cannons was an additional charge that was expended just after the primary charge (in the casing) fired, and that would increase the amount of gas exploding out of the barrel, and thus, putting more force on the projectile. In this case it isn't really being 'rocket-assisted', but it's the closest concept I can think of, unless of course the rockets ARE actually in the unified Projectile Ammo. I assume it's just a case of inconsistent lore, like pretty much everything you queried about. ..... Final note: all of these are a case of making the weapons visually different. I don't see how the Dual 150mm would function as any type of kinetic projectile weapon, but it does. And it's OK, because EVE isn't a real-life simulator.

Tracer ammunition (tracers) are bullets or cannon caliber projectiles that are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base. Ignited by the burning powder, the pyrotechnic composition burns very brightly, making the projectile visible to the naked eye. This enables the shooter to follow the projectile trajectory to make aiming corrections. Kinda hard to see a small metal slug wizzing through space at 102397102371073 km/s without them...

A railgun still needs a positive and negative rail to make a complete circuit with the projectile, and you need them in close (ish) proximity, dependig on the projectile. In EVE's case, none of the railguns would work effectively, and the Dual 150mm (and any other hybrid that looks like it) wouldn't work at all.

Second gripe would be hit registration. Why can't we disable ships? After the shield drops why aren't specific systems (a turret here, a thruster there) destroyed? Once the hull is breached why can't we have a chance to destroy rigs, etc. Space combat is too all or nothing in EvE.

It's just too little to make a difference and hes dead anyways. Of course if you somehow managed to active hull remote rep with friends you could have modules shut off after extended preiods of time. But beleive me you do not want module damage. It's part of why I quit world of tanks, just losing my driver every single match and somehow the inability to damage the enemies gun whilst he kills me shooting places to do actual hitpoint damage. It could end up really bad lets just put it that way. CCP - Outpost code is scary. CCP Greyscale - Starbases - They need to look @#$%ing awesome, and people need to want them and want to be around them and have them and use them and like them and want them and stuff.

Arronicus Fusion Enterprises Ltd Shadow of xXDEATHXx 1309	Posted - 2014.11.27 18:30:27 - [48] - Quote The simple answer: Guns with multiple barrels fire a number of lower damage shots, proportionate to the number of barrels where the animation shows multiple shots coming out. Weapons with multiple barrels which only show one shot in the animation rotate shots between the barrels. Ammunition is packaged such that for smaller weapons, 1 "Medium charge" represents the number of shells the gun would fire in one cycle, and is done so for convenience of capsuleer use. As such, there is no discrepency, the game just groups multiple smaller shots per gun into a single calculation, and multiple shells without a charge into a single charge, for our convenience.

I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny over the mind of man.-á
