Hi all,
I was wondering if any fellow designers can think up of "Weapons" to be used in a Sci-Fi theme (Starships).
Here is the list that I have so far:
-Laser Canon
-Torpedo
-Laser Beam
-Ion Blaster
-Gauss Rifle
-Concussion Missile
-Particle Canon
-Disruptor Pulse
-Death Ray
If anyone can add to this list, that would be really appreciated!
Many thanks.
NOTE: My personal favorite is the "Death Ray"... :)
that's another point, what defense options does the receiving end of these weapons have? gotta think of your offense and defense at the same time to keep the game interesting
More complicated items fall into the *Enhancement* section which you get from your "Research Facility". Enhancements are OPTIONAL items used in the building of a starship. So a "computer virus" might be an offensive Enhancement. I have planned an enhancement called the "Byers' Algorithm", this might be similar to your idea of a computer virus... There are also defensive enhancements such as "Shield Regenerator"...
There are also "Event-driven" enhancements such as "Hidden Cargo Hold" for smuggling missions or "Luxury Quarters" for escort missions. These are just examples, but there are other enhancements that work in tandem with events/missions.
