"The oncoming swarm, combated by another of its kind."
The Sweeper fires rapid energy-based munitions while moving up and down along a hinge. Designed for use on large vessels as an AA gun, the Sweeper is an effective tool for defense against swarming fighters.
Fire it like any gun.

@spefyjerbf Exactly. That said, a high-spread, high-hitbox sort of weapon can lock down an entire airspace without fail - if perhaps a bit laggy for low-end devices. Basically, give the bullets the hitbox of the intercipias, and watch the fireworks. I might mention something about integrating the technology of this and the intercipias in a future CIWS build. Its code name? Grid Fire.
@ThomasRoderick Yeah - there's a reason why I have never used this weapon lol
@spefyjerbf Ofc I was exaggerating a bit when I said rebuilding it, but you either go full intercipias or you go for accurate barrage. Something with a small hitbox, low projectile speed, and Xtreme spread isn't hitting anything beyond pointblank.
In case anyone's wondering, my standards of "good CIWS" is "to be able to accurately shoot down ATGMs", so I guess I might have been a bit too harsh on it...
@spefyjerbf Pretty sure even FT codes can't save something like this... Trust me, I tried. Not without rebuilding it from ground up at least.
@ThomasRoderick lmao yeah - something like this gun would probably be better with some FT code
Given this thing's effective range of around 5 meters, I'm formally declaring this plasma pumpjack to be an energy shield instead of a CIWS system...
Great AA Gun...
@InternationalAircraftCompany Both, although I will probably use it on the former.
Vessels as in space ships or regular ships?
MAKE MAWRE WEAPONS PLS
