Mather: Recharge time between salvos being dependent on the number of reactors you have, which are currently 0, thus can only fire once. As far as I am aware they are self guided missiles...and are charged with energy to pack an extra punch. Also, they effect shields in much the same way as any other weapon, meaning they will damage your shields...since they are physical, they can't be phase tuned, leaving you with magnetic shields. City ships are in the region of 300,000 resources and 400,000 cash. The free ones you have on the planet, don't have engines, generators or indeed shields(Obviously adding them is possible), so are currently cities, not city ships. Rocco: Turbo Lasers(as shown in every Star Wars film and game) have the accuracy of a blind man with a spear...however they pack a hell of a bunch. Quad Lasers, though, are much weaker, but are much more accurate, and since there are 4 times as many, they are 4 times as likely to hit(on top of that). NPCs have a random chance of occuring in any system you survey(from a single ship to their homeworld) Hyperdrives do 1 sector per year(3 months), Matter Gates go all over the galaxy. Other drives go faster or slower. Yes. 100% reduction in cost.(His people want to build ships) True, only nex has an advantage there. True. Ico: There are other limits on your tech...that you know about. However, loyalty effects are permenant(They add a rule like 'Obey person X for the rest of your life' to a persons brain, so one gun can turn billions. So wording will be important... And, like everything else, researching antis, is possible. Edel: Overpowered weapons are fine...Its not like they will be overpowered for very long before someone takes them down. Ross: Sending me the stats and posting the picture here is fine. Rocco: Pictures should be shown here, stats are secret until you battle/or blueprint steal the enemy. Grim: Sorry >.< Hyperdrive missiles would cost 50 resources and 20 cash Hmmmm, this could be interesting... Anywho, techs are techs...they are not defensive, they are not offensive, they are just techs. For all anyone knows Ico is using the loyalty guns to make animals want to be eaten, thus preventing the evil vegetarians from protesting so much...Or he could be working towards a huge loyalty beam that controls star systems. Oh and Tin Foil Hats...would be interesting.
