just power

do they need ammo or just power?

If you guys want lasers in SE2 then upvote here https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/48103-turbo-laserlaser-gatling-and-beam-weapons

There is, but you have to do it manually in the weapons settings, since I can't make them default to manual/mouse control on the mods end.

Am I blind or is there no way to control these manually?

i think the flat ones your doing look good

I will try, do you prefer barreled lasers over non, like cannon barrels or "flat" lasers
(like in this mod currently)

Space engineers Warfare style please
and can you remove or resize the largest turreted lasers Is to large for normal use
note Warfare style can be combined with modern technologi like a laser ciws and some eve online Calgary, ammar style aperance sound as good idea.

Sure, thou it might take a while, I have been wanting to try it in the SE style (though I ain't that good at it currently, but as they say practice makes perfect), thou idk what style ya looking for.
I will prob release it as a alt style mod.

Mod concept Is good but turreted weapons Is too ugly for personal use need total redesigns for all weapons can you make it?

Oh I forgot to mention I also fixed the mirroring for the tiny (left/right) lasers.

awesome!

I finally added SG weapons, yay.

Only yellow turrets target stuff thats behind armor blocks other turret just sit idle till a thruster or a weapon gets into view,

unrelated note laser turrets do not prioritise decoys but it might be just due to WeaponCore and not the turrets themselves

no problem ^^
thank you for updating the dependencies, much appreciated <3

Ah thanks for the notice!

the original creator of the WeaponCore mod recently retired but a replacement is already out. the only thing you would have to do is to list the new WeaponCore as a dependency and remove the old and retired one. thank you in advance <3

These weapons work, but some mods can break Weapon Core, which can make all Weapon Core guns not fire.

@mikestewart395 Same problem, It could be one of the 600 mods I have going, I'll do more testing.

as always i support mods that add more energy turrets instead of more (unneeded for me) turrets that require physical ammo

Did we ever get a small grid version?

Weapons not firing for me at all.

nice job mate

hi my friend, have you happened to make one that does not require core?

Thanks :) .

--------------------------------------

hmm I am thinking of making the fixed lasers more or a high damage pulse rather than a continuous beam, since I think that would make them more fun to use,
or I could have a pulse and continuous version . . .

11/10 Amazing thumbnail and neat laser models

hm, I do know that sometimes my collisions turn to boxes for newly placed weapons (in survival), until you reload, then they are corrected, though idk why it does it yet. . .

Also just saying its nothing with the mods because I have the same mods and its working.

It seemed to be a weird bug where it made it face the wrong way and today when I rebooted my game it seemed to be fixed and it was the first time I was using the mod so I wasn't sure but thanks for replying anyways it's now fixed here is the image of what I get after rejoining.

I honestly think it was just a bug with the mods I was using or it was a keen problem.

Weird, let me know if it shows up again, I did make sure that it points the right way in game when I tested before release, though I also would like to know how it be doing that. . .

------------------------------------------------------------

hmm that does sound like an interesting idea, guess I can go see how that would look.

Is it me only or is anyone getting this bug where the laser is facing backwards?

https://ibb.co/bXmPhb0

It could be my mod list if the laser is ok.

Can i recommend you make a larger turret format that takes the light or medium turret, and makes it a turret that shoots 3 or so inaccurate beams? Put simple, a beam shotgun. Inaccurate, but insanely damaging at close range. It should have the same range, and be more costly to make and power.

My current plans are kinda like :
Fixed weapons will be stronger (probably around 1.5x, guess I will see when I test them),
small grid will have shield pierce (mostly to let small grid fighters be useful),
and of course like the turrets so far, larger weapons will have a worse efficiency for the hp of damage they do, but they will be more efficient block size wise.

I don't mind increasing damage more to keep the range,
would be nice if wc had different ranges for in planet and out, then I could have the best of both worlds,
nice range (only in space) but also less in atmo so if ya like to play with a bunch of cargo ships with the wep replace mod (like me) ya won't just get nuked by them at the start (I indeed have had that happen) . . .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You technically could, but the turrets wouldn't work without Weapon Core.

Can this be used without weaponcore?

Anyway: we all needed that mod! We all need more energie weapons!! :DDD
Great mod, love it :P


One balance suggestion: light should consume a bit more power, like 20MW and have a slightly reduced damage, like 2000DPS, else light would be a bit too OP.

(needed to split it in 2 messages, because 1000 char limit, sorry)

fixed would be very interesting!


My ideas about "fixed weapon" would be:
1. longer but smaller weapon, about the same material and energy cost, but 2 or 3 times stronger
2. smaller weapon, but same length, much cheaper material cost (usefully for early game), this would be great to create a new modular and compact turret, or a costly early game energy turret defense, for your base
3. same as 1 or 2, but instead reducing the material cost/increasing the damage, the rang for the fixed are higher (instead of 3000m each, i would suggest 5000m?)

Another idea, related to 3 would be:
Changing the rang of the 3 weapons, either high damage, high rang and high power consume and visa vesa or high damage, lower rang, normal power consume and visa vesa.
(you could also add another row of weapon tier (turrets), making those "larger" but bundling more power, for endgame stuff, heavy might be a bit too OP? Not fully sure)

yeah, I have a few models in the making

I'm looking forward to trying your mod =). Do you also have any plans on creating a stationary (non turreted) version?

I know of some energy weapons that are energy and for obvious reasons, they generate their own ammo when energized. If not for this update, directed energy weapons mod would still work

But then maybe it is possible with vanilla?
Though I haven't seen a energy weapon mod that uses vanilla for it's weapons without a script for the visuals, damage and ammo. . .

That's mostly because you have to know how to write scripts yourself from scratch to make energy weapons that are not WC

it's a pity that most mods that add energy weapons are for weapon core

The damage type of most of my weapons is "Energy" (though I do plan on making my solid light weapons be a combination of both, like the main strike will be "Kinetic" and the explosion after will be "Energy" since I think that makes the most sense)

No problem, I do like to make sure my mods work lel, and feedback is always nice.

the other mods i use do damage to armor, for the shield module i believe it is due to the type of damage your mod causes it. I solved it by combining other types of weapons with yours (given the power I was hoping to use only yours and remove the others.... never mind.) Thanks for your availability!

Thanks, also thanks for telling me about the bug, though idk if I can do anything about it since Weapon Core handles the damage,
(though of course it technically is possible that it is on my end)
I would see if other Weapon Core weapons also do no damage to be sure though.

In my test world I was able to damage the armor, so it isn't the duramax mod that is the problem at least.

anyway it's a great mod! compliments

duramax yes that's it

Let me explain better for the shields (Defense Shields), the shields take damage but not the emission module but maybe it's a problem with the mod.

I will be buffing the damage next update, along with adding hit particles, and some minor animation adjustments

pity that the damage to the shields is practically non-existent
