NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATH

I'm pretty sure Thrasson is doing a bit :3

To that one guy who is really insistent on lasers having recoil, I did the math, the recoil of the large quad deck laser cannon would be 10 times less than that of the standard small cannon.

(Using proposed anti-aircraft laser systems developed by lockheed martin and the 120x570 NATO shell as reference)

do you even know what compton scattering is? they dont go in the same direction
its called SCATTERING for a reason
it describes the collision of photon with a particle which then move in different directions........

now stop causing issues

its called COMPTON SCATTERING. look it up have a read. and getting all them photon to go in the same direction is silly, so yeah, that turret would flip out of your hand, i mean off the deck mount because, i am extrapolating here, that the amount of power to fire that is really a lot more than what is provided by the "thumbnail". you should really have to do technical schematics and power supply drafts so we could all have a more robust idea of what it is you are selling.

To the guy saying something about the lasers ripping off the ship when fired. I must ask, when you turn a flashlight on does it flip out of your hands? Or when you turn on your computer screen, does it backflip off your desk?

I'm curious how you think photons work.

I saw the thumbnail and thought "it can't possibly look like that" but no it does look like that

firing that should render the mountings useless as the entirety of the armament flips off the ship.

i have to update all my shipps now :)

sick

It's beautiful...

specifically the keyword Range
in beam or shot folders

im wanting to have the gun engage at a farther distance so im not in the face of every ship, out of curiosity, what line of code am i looking for to change the max range so i can do this

not quite sure what you mean, maybe u can come to cosmoteer discord into modding channel

Well, that's already very good, well, there they shot such Intermittent beams. Although suspecting such a thing would be difficult to implement, right?

added beam versions, if thats what u mean

Cool Mod! But I have a question, could you make Laser Cannons Similar to the Laser Guns from the Yamato Space Battleship? It's just that the Free Off-steam Version has them, but not here, and it really upsets me. Especially if you don't want to, who am I to force you
