Fire Rate 0

[Grandpa Kim]

I wonder if you could set it to .5 so that a weapon would fire twice per turn? Also .33, .25, .2 etc. I don't think numbers like .8 or 2.3 would work. They would likely just round up.

Fractional fire rates do not work. You can either only fire once in a round, or an infinite number of times (subject to supply constraints). With its real time combat engine, SEV should allow far finer gradations of firing rates.

You know, I have always been interested in modding the weapon from enders game. The one that generated a field in which subatomic particles could not bond. I think a fire rate 0 weapon would work nicely, throw on unlimited Multiplex, and anything within range dies...

[Phoenix-D]

Only problem with that is that weapon is supposed to affect friendlies as well.

[Puke]

yeah, and its not everything within range of the firerer. its everything within range of the target.

just cant be done, in SE4. unless with some sort of alegiance subverter, super-weapon, self-destruct combo. but we cant script things.

maybe in se5.

You know, this could get interesting with a tractor or repulser beam. "This device creates a strong omnidirectional gravitational effect, causing all enemy ships within range to move to/away from this ship." I just hope the AI is smart enough not to shoot it at ships that have nowhere to go, or no more than once at any given ship.

haha man that would fun to watch....but think about a 1500k ship with 2 of those and bridge n all that so it takes 500 and than 1000k on supply lvl threes u can fire a long like taht espiccialy w/ a quantum reacter. I think the ship would own.:-p

[ZeroAdunn]

Negative, the weapon would just have to be mounted on a drone. It can be done.

[luke_slovakian]

oh man dreadfull. hehe that would be a nice one to pull over a guy that doesnt know fire rate is 0. lol
