More Block Weapons

[Endlas]

now that torpedo blocks are introduced, will there be more weapon blocks? like dedicated versions of turret blocks, but only fire in one direction and has more dps then the usual turret version. it would also do more damage as the scale goes up. things like a nova cannon from WH40K may be made like this or things like superlasers.

i hope this is a good idea.

There are going to be coax weapons in combat update 2, wich (i believe) will do more damage the bigger they are. If this isn't what you meant, how do you mean it?

As mentioned, coaxial weapons seem to be coming. Although perhaps a block that applies a damage boost to attached weapons, but perhaps having very high power drain, and possibly eat up processing power, something like the reverse of a computer core. Could make for a way to balance it.

 

As for superlasers, that could be interesting. Although diminishing returns like hyperspace cores could be a way to balance it, so massive sized block weapons deal more damage linearly, but take exponentially more power.
