Power: Equivalent to 38 turbo lasers

Intent: An advanced ray shield ignoring cannon
Development Thread: If necessary
Manufacturer: Slave Train
http://starwarsrp.net/topic/97489-slave-train/?hl=%2Bslave+%2Btrain
Model: M.A.C.
Affiliation: Reavers
Modularity: Can be placed on ships, or act as artillery.
Production: Mass produced​

Material: Durasteel, Titranium, and Kelsh​

Classification: Artillery
Size: Ship-Mounted
Length: 89 meters
Weight: 4000 tons​

Ammunition Type: Massive Metal projectile
Ammunition Capacity: 30 five ton shots
Effective Range: Equivalent to a turbo laser cannon​

Rate of Fire: single​

Special Features: bypasses ray shields​

Strengths: Bypasses ray shields
Weaknesses: Extremely large and unwieldy​

Description: Fires massive metal projectile using a linear system of magnets. The magnetic energy builds until the projectiles velocity carries an incredible amount of energy. These weapons are so large they are often incorporated into the ships designs. Fires slugs of Titrainium with depleted uranium core. The high muzzle speed mitigates the unguided nature of the slug and its lack of maneuverability. Ships must be pointed directly at target for gun to be effective. The firing utilizes electromagnetism. The velocity is 6/km.​

hey So a MAC cannon cool. Just a few things.

Intent: An advanced shield ignoring cannon

Strengths: Bypasses shields

this type of weapon only Bypass Ray shielding. Particle Shielding still stops them. So please change this to "Bypasses Ray Shielding.

Affiliation: Minor

I am unclear as to who or what you mean by minor. Change this to Open MArket or to a faction name.

Effective Range: Equivalent to a laser cannon

A laser cannon has an effective range of about 1500 meters. I think you mean Turbolaser here which would be 50kmish

Special Features: Nuclear explosives, bypasses shields

Plase remove the Nuclear Explosive part. They are considered super weapons.

Ammunition Capacity: five 600 ton shots

Rate of Fire: 30,000 meters per second

ok so rate of fire is how often it fires not the velocity of the shell.

As to that generally 6km per second is as high as we go on projectile velocity and even then something this big would be less. The length of the rail and the power needed to accelerate this much mass that fast would make this thing much larger than you have here.

All the above being said it is a good weapon just needs some work but we will get it to something you can be proud of.

So
I recommend making the projectile smaller. 600 tons is far to large to accelerate to ultra sonic speeds without a rail 1000 meters long and a solar ionization reactor dedicated to feeding it. Which is doable you just need to upscale it. If you are set on it being this big then make it 1000 meters long, make its rate of fire single, the velocity to 5km/s and limit it to spinal mounts on destroyer class ships and above only. That would give you something around a 200 to 300 turbolaser equivalent weapon.

if your wanting something in the size range you have above then I would say make the projectiles closer to 5 tons, velocity 6km/s, rate of fire single, and turbolaser range. This would give you something in the 20 to 25 turbolaser equivalent range.

What ever you want I am sure we will find a way to get it worked out and approved. Just let me know what you think and we can figure out how to move on.

Done. Another question do you see a lot of weapons like these?

 

[ADM. Reshmar]

[member="Causstik Rahn"] Yeah alot of people make these. They are pretty common alternatives to hypervelocity cannons.

Manufacturer: Slave Train

do you have a Company approved page for this? If so please Link it.

Also

Weaknesses: Extremely large and unwieldy

would you add "counts as 25 to 50 turbolasers" out beside this so people have an idea of how powerful and large it is Something this big could reasonably be as powerful as 50 turbolasers if that is what you're wanting. @25 allows you more on a ship but it is up to you.
