I missed Armada's particle gun: Particle Cannon 2.3 cm / .13 / 17.69 It does seem that, outside of privateer and armada, the particle gun keeps the most consistency throughout all the games. Which is obvious, since WC2, 3, and 4 used the exact same stats. Still, it is good that it...

Here is a list of diagramming software packages, including some free ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagramming_software The free/open source ones are Dia and Kivio http://live.gnome.org/Dia http://www.koffice.org/kivio/

I was wondering if the Light Tachyon's stats are correct in WCUE. The bearcat in UE seems MUCH less powerful than the one in WC4, and ergo, the Epee seems less powerful too. Anyone have any thoughts on this WC4 Light Tachyon Gun Damage 5.0 cm Energy 30 nJ Range 3,800 Speed 1,900 Refire delay...

Yea I was also surprised at how high the DPS for mass driver consistently was! it does seem to be more of an anti-capship or anti-bomber weapon than an anti fighter weapon in all but the "fast velocity" versions, which seem to appear at prophecy. At that point, it stops sucking for anti...

So, to help figure out how valid my info is, I decided to do a DPS chart. All info is from here: https://www.wcnews.com/articles/gunchart.htm (which I JUST found, argh!), and is presumed valid. Of course, this DPS chart is for fighter's guns, doesn't take into account range, speed of...

What I think would REALLY be important to know would be, "on the average multirole fighter of the day (rapier II, hellcat, tigershark, as the case may be), with the guns not set to fire all at once, with two of the cannons, after the gun capacitors are empty, what is the damage per second of the...

As far as the info of Arena, I was just trying to figure out the ramifications of what it would mean, that's all. I'm not sure how it impacts the arguments! And the longbow was the *first* true bomber to have afterburners, I believe, which is what matters for bomber survival. What I was...

Okay okay.... Lets say we take Arena as Canon. What does it tell us then? It tells us that Broadswords can eventually have afterburners. That Rapier II's and Arrows and Broadswords can fight in the Nephilim-era. That eventually pretty much every ship can be jump capable. Meson Blaster...

All I was saying was for gun pods to get guns closer to the centerline... I am perfectly fine with two high quality / high energy use guns, or four medium quality / low energy use guns, as long as they are all near the centerline.

Yes, see privateer. :)

Okay, I looked at the info, and as near as I can tell, the main thing that this says is this: ion developed into reaper to combat shields because of the refire rate, photon is pulsed laser, photon and laser refract in atmosphere, meson and particle don't work AT ALL in atmosphere (even though in...

Can't figure out how to edit my post.. In the most recent post, change *in deep space to *in atmosphere

This is one of my BIGGEST complaints about Standoff! I want to use the same tools I have on the missions to solve the sim missions!

Well what version are you running? Did you update your latest graphics card drivers? What graphics card do you have? Did you change the detail options? Have you tried other detail options?

Okay. So I am reading this: http://wingcommander.by.ru/VS/Streak33.html Which has more canonical info on the guns. So I see a few things... Laser and Photon cannons PROBABLY shouldn't be used in deep space, and Particle cannons CAN'T be used in atmosphere, and neither can Meson cannons. So...

No no they reach down and pull the ring, of course! Don't you read any of the novels? Cmon! :P ...which is simulated if the player wants to eject by the player hitting ctrl-E.

Wow guys! Thanks for the informative and thoughtful replies! I haven't read them *fully* yet, but I will get to it ASAP!

And cheers go up all around!

Well standoff took the actual numbers in the game files themselves and managed to convert them to something useful... in their database, they have ypr as 80/80/80. Also I have a very very different opinion on the fighters, in the post I put (that as of this post is at the top of the forum)!

Well, yea. that doesn't mean that you can't have fun with a what if thread! Besides, I was up late on a caffeine binge when I wrote this initially, cut me some slack!
