Pretty much an Lport weapon that fires neutron blast.

Neutron Battery.

Damage : 550
Velocity : 180 m/s
Energy : 9
Firerate : 0.05 s
Weight : 1600 kg
Targeting: good*
Grid : 11
DPS : 11000
EPS : 180
DPE : 61

Availability.
UIT Manifacturing Mission.
Convoy drops.
Two weeks in a row Ctc Wins. or some kind of competition.

Heres the pitch.
It sacrifices damage, projectile speed, weight, grid, and Auto aim
for extra DPS and DPE not to mention it would look cool as hell.

It would be a bad spamming weapon due to the high drain you can't fire it for more than 1.5 seconds.

The low speed, high weight and low targeting make it not so good to take out light fighters. but much better to take out heavy ships with a nicely aimed shot at close range.

I like it

Your calculations are off. If you fire this gun for 1 second, you'll have used 180 energy points, but by that time, the power cell will have recharged by 50 ep again. My calculations show that it will be closer to two seconds for a Fast Charge power cell (1.923 s, to be precise), and over 4 (4.074 s)for the Heavy power cell. That would equal 21'154 dmg for the FC and 44'815 dmg for the Heavy power cell in 2 resp. 4 seconds with little to no pause between shots. I am reasonably certain that this would enable players to take on queens and Tridents all by their lonesome selves, completely obliterating the need for group tactics in the game (something the devs seem to want to be in the game, and I'm for that.

I propose incresing energy use to 25. That's what my math told me would be a good middle point.

Edited for more truth. Also, I'd call it Corvus Neutron Phalanx, not Battery.

with one spamrag and a proper stack you can deal upwards of 100k damage...

That was kind of my point.

I don't think people are going to solo queens with this...

It would make an awesome voy chaser/anti heavy ship weapon.

Well, I would go Queen hunting with this, if it allows me to solo them.

Whether people are going to solo with this is irrelevant. People rarely hunt queens with anything closely resembling an optimal fit. What matters if a person will solo queens with this, because it only takes one person to break the game, and as tosh has already volunteered, there's a chance someone might accidently mimic him, and then we certainly will have people using optimal fits, unless a streak of stupidity or insanity hits, and they randomly decide to go back to using all rocket/missile based fits.

Whatever happened to Grid Power??

Should be like 16...

Hang on, can't you already solo queens? I can solo queens in my pvp ship, let spidey do it in his. I am only against a single weapon doing it.

yea this weapon cannot kill a queen on its own the DPE/DPS is lower than a pair of mega posis.

much much lower than a rag with HX and megaposi

Either you edited the powergrid, or I didn't notice that it was 11. As for queen hunting, that makes it fair, as you're right, it's essentially 3 HX's smacked together. It'd make an interesting bombing weapon, as one of these and a couple HX's are roughly as good as flying a Rag. So, the Prom could make it's debut as a sturdy bomber type ship.

"Whatever happened to Grid Power??

I'd say 18 would be more fair. A hog with this type of gun would make hornet's obsolete when taking down shields. A Prom or 'Taur would make a Rag obsolete. If you make a gun that's 3 times more powerful, for 3 times more grid, it's completely pointless to use the ships with more slots.

this weapon even with its very very high DPS cannot take down shields nearly as well as a stack of swarms missles.

raising the grid to 16 would make it better.

two tubes of stacked swarm missles do 68k damage in less than two seconds. this weapon with a heavy batt cant deal nearly that much damage over that period of time.

a valk with three neutron blasters MkII deals an even higher DPS with similar DPE.

mynt since when is a hornet a ship to take down shields?
