Compared to the old(pre buff) Capital swarm launcher





Basically the same thing. You'll need to increase the grid to 20 minimum.

No it wouldn't. You'd be able to equip it to an Atlas, and bomb stations with it easily due to infinite swarms.

Swarms themselves are used too much. We dont need even more of them.

The purpose of a turret is that it only goes on ships with turrets. So you can equip it on The Atlas, Moth (MkI, miner I/II), goliath, and trident. that is far more than just 1 ship.

-1. Being able to take a cap station in a atlas with a infi ammo chaos turret is op. Atlas can reach a high speed. More then capable of using a turret bot to circle the station and rip apart turrets and station guard. Very bad idea.

+1 we need more swarms

Actually swarms are something we need less of. Have you ever done a levi with just swarms? The whole sector lags out. Lots of swarms makes for a laggy game.





If that is the case, then the gem turrets already meet your needs and this suggestion is moot.

I remember years ago the swarm lag.
This year we have fired 10x the amount of swarms and no lag.
I've seen 5+ capships auto firing swarms at once and killing all kinds of stuff like Connie's Capella's etc.

Capital swarms have less objects in flight now so it makes sense that the lag was reduced. Just this year we did a levi with rags and about 5 pilots, and we lagged the levi sector to a halt for about 1s. This thread is not about post buff capital swarms, it is about reintroducing pre buff lag inducing capital swarms.

Well I handle Levi's and unrats fine with 10+ guild members all swarming, caps and regular ships.

Also if your having lag issues with swarms try turning your graphics down.

Sorry Blazz, I'm calling BS on that statement. Video or it didn't happen.

Just because you can with gems doesn't mean anything. Your comparing a pin to a sword. Chaos swarm turrets would just make it easier. You'd have to hit a turret quite alot to get it down with a gem. And they regen and respawn after 10mins. Chaos swarms can level a cap station very quickly
