It's been a long, long time since I've done this. 5 months, to be exact.
About Collections. Skip if you just want to get to the weapons.
Since I have a large amount of weapons systems, I have decided, for my sake, to create collections of the systems that I have made through the use of forum posts.
This greatly helps me in helping other users find the perfect weapon that they want to mount on their builds.
"But why are you separating the systems into what will be about 4 forum posts?" I have many reasons for that, and none of them involve maximizing upvotes. My first reason is that I have many of these subassemblies, and many posts about them.... I do not want a huge list of links. That would defeat the purpose of me being able to take a few seconds to find the weapon that I need.
There is a larger reason, too. I won't stop making weapon systems after these posts. I would rather not edit an existing list every time I post a new system. The solution: simply make a new post about a new generation of weapons.
And now, generation 7
Generation 7 focuses on aesthetics and streamlined design. In this generation, I dove deep into the options provided by gun-based weaponry. The result was a collection of beautiful weapons with interesting function. This generation ended when, in my investigations, I discovered negative rates of fire, which will be the basis of generation 8.
Renegade, fires a beam surrounded by stray bullets.
Nebula, the only weapon that uses rockets in this generation
Phalanx, a heavy laser with wind-up time.
