9 over 10 fraction redundant. Ignore this.

Blank Lasers (Cannons, actually), Beams, Missiles and Pulses. For effect computers.

These would be used for Effect computers. A few uses:

Blank beam + Pull effect computer = ABDUCTION/TRACTOR BEAM! MUAHAAAA.

Blank cannon + EMP effect computer = actual non-damaging EMP blast. MAUAHAAHA.

Hmm...

Blank pulse + Ion effect computer = Ion pulse? Ehh...

Blank missile + overdrive effect computer = HELP MEH flare that won't kill everone?

Anyway, good for when you want to have a projectile/pulse/beam that does ONLY the effect attached.

Support?

 

[Megacrafter127]

Um, what?
Push, pull and EMP exchange damage for force/energy-drain. if the effect is at 100% no damage is dealt.
I don't understand what you want the ion pulse to do.
I think overdrive is the wrong choice to make a SOS-flare(regardless of anything), since it amplifies damage on normal missiles.

I don't know too much about the new weapons system... :p

I had no idea. But how do you remove all damage from a beam?

 

[FunnyBunny14]

100% of push/pull/stop/emp.

 

[wolfboyft]

100% of push/pull/stop/emp.

Eh? You mean make a master beam and a slave pull, with only pull modules? Where does the beam come from then?

 

[starhaiden]

you can't make the beam do no damage but you can decrease it by linking it to a cannon computer to make so it does faster weaker pulses

Well then! This idea prevails. Because some people would like a no-damage EMP blast. Pacifist?

 

[starhaiden]

I though emp effects directed the damage of the attack towards power blocks emp blast won't work with they do no damage unless you want to disable their power modules then I don't know how you are going to do that

Oh! Does a tractor beam, sorry, pull effect computer do that too? EMP didn't work though. I had a lot of EMP modules, an EMP effect computer, and 1 beam and 1 beam computer. Did damage. Was that actually to power!?

 

[starhaiden]

I think it damages power blocks more then other blocks

 

[wolfboyft]

It only works with a cannon, which is what I want. Also, I made a LOAD of push modules with a few cannon barrels. It does no damage (hoorah) but hardly pushes the test guinea pig. Should I use a beam?

 

[wolfboyft]

Hang on a mo'. I think that we should have no beams other than the damage beam, but instead of astrotech and the rest, we have an astrotech effect and salvage effect to attach to missiles etc! :D

 

[starhaiden]

what does connecting salvage beam with cannon do

 

[wolfboyft]

what does connecting salvage beam with cannon do

Obvious. When the cannon hits the block, it tries to salvage it.

 

[Megacrafter127]

100% effect means there are as many effect modules as weapon modules.
And the push force depends on the damage, the beam would deal, if no effect would be attatched.

For an optimal system have the same number of push modules and cannon barrels. You still get 0 damage, but a lot more force.

 

[NeonSturm]

But I figured out that 3 single AMC barrels create more push than 5 linked
Maybe just a temporary issue... I hope
