OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Blaster
  • Size: Very Large
  • Weight: Very Heavy
  • Ammunition Type: Gamma-Cannisters (Unique Ammunition)
  • Ammunition Capacity: Extremely Large
  • Effective Range: Extreme
  • Rate of Fire: Very Low
  • Stopping Power: Extreme
  • Recoil: Extreme
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Instead of firing continuous shots like Rotary Cannons, this instead charges up one long, powerful blast. The blast itself has an improved penetrative power, giving it the strength to potentially burn through heavy artillery units or deflector shields. This, however, reduces firing rate. Every blasts lasts up to thirty seconds and every time a blasts stops, the Cannon re-energizes for the next one which takes five seconds.
  • You can attach this to a ships up to the size of a Freighter. Any higher, the power may overheat it.
  • The cannon can be interlinked, there is a camera atop it to look through, allowing one to aim and fire it through a different device. This camera can also magnify up to 120x, so if attached to something that can take the recoil, the accuracy of it can be rather astounding.
STRENGTHS
  • BLONDE BOMBSHELL: It's sheer strength is immense with ability to potentially rip apart ships like Starfighters and small Light Freighters even when handheld. Its most notable aspect is its continuous blast, which wastes quite a bit of energy but the output it can put out is worth it. It has a signature yellow laser beam as it tunnels through its victims.
  • HOMERUN HOMEWREKCER: Along with being immensely powerful, canon has immense range, capable of suppressing enemies from several kilometers away even when handheld. Its continuous laser gives it a bit more precision than most canons.
WEAKNESSES
  • REAL LOAD TIME: While it may have a ludicrously large ammunition capacity, its Gamma-Cannisetr is cumbersome to carry around. Due to its size, a normal average soldier could likely only carry two, one inside the gun, and one as a spare. Not to mention, the only person you can buy this kind of ammunition for the Pressure Hyper Cannon is Deryn, and Deryn charges a lot for them.
  • BLOWN AWAY: It isn't a gun for the faint of heart. If you're not at least as strong as a Wookie or Trandoshan, you'll find yourself having a hard time keeping still footing, let alone aiming it.
  • CARDIAC-TORTURE: Combining the recoil and weight AND its continuous fire, its an extremely tiring blaster to use. You'll need to work on your muscular endurance heavily for it. While its continuous blast can devastate enemies, it will also lay almost as much punishment on your arms as it maintains the recoil all-throughout.
  • SPRAY&PRAY: Do you really think you're going to aim this thing without Power-Armor? Thought not.
DESCRIPTION
A new line of guns for Scar's Brands; he cannibalized some parts of.... ships that were not officially his to make them. The ship parts he cannibalized are mostly the Hyperdrive, Fusion Generator, and the Sublight Drives. The Hyperdrive components absorb the gamma radiation, converting it into energy to be coiled through the Fusion Generator's Coiled Charge Planes but instead of being processed by the Hyper-Drive again, it is instead expressed into sheer energy by the Sublight Drive Emitters onto a small rotary energy generator to be turned into power the blaster can use, spinning at intense speeds before being released into devastating show of power.

This is interesting. I will give some points for creativity but handheld weapon that slices through ships with ease and spews copous amounts of radiation onto a world with a possibility it could ignite certain atmospheres is over board.

I am going to deny this and you can second chance it but I would recommend scaling the power down and as someone pointed out an ion drive engine would just make it a massive ion cannon not a destructive weapon.
 

SECOND CHANCE TEMPLATE
Submission Name: PBA-01 Pressure Blaster Cannon
Link to Submission: X
Reason for Second Chance:

  • It was denied for reasons I find understandable, so I wish to resubmit this with the suitable edits.
  • I also want to go into more depth of its creation and how it was birthed from the cannibalization of ships.

Second chance granted. Please tag me when the submission is ready for judgement.

1) Can't something be both? The Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon, for example.
2.) Both. Handheld, it can be used against heavy artillery like tanks, on ships, it can be used against, well, ships - though likely only up until Freighters as its likely going to overheat, melt and/or blow up in bigger ships with more power.

Apologies for the delay I failed to receive your notification, however in the future please do not bump your submissions as per factory rules.

So, do you mean something that can be mounted on gunships but not be used against a larger ship etc?

Ship-Mounted

That isn't clear from the submission, you just refer to ships. If you could please clarify that that would go a long way towards alleviating any problems with the submission.

Language

Also, could you run through the language in the submission? We try to stay away from absolute language such as
The blast itself has far more penetrative power, increasing its sheer strength to be able to burn through heavy artillery units like tanks and can completely rip through Deflector Shields.



This is because it is your opponent who will call damage, if you hit and how much damage you do. Instead, if you could change the language to something like the following:
The blast itself has an improved penetrative power, giving it the strength to potentially burn through heavy artillery units or deflector shields.

You will need to go through the submission to tone down the language in a similar fashion across the board.

With that said, I am nervous about allowing an infantry weapon that can be used against heavy armour, vehicles which are specifically designed to be too protected for handheld weapons to affect them. Do you have any canon or real-world basis for a weapon with this much firing power?

Strengths

HOMERUN HOMEWREKCER: Along side being immensely powerful, it can go as much distance, if not more, than average ship-armaments when handheld, and more so when turned into a ship-armament itself.

Could you explain this more clearly? It already has an extreme range or are you saying extreme range for handheld and extreme range for a ship, which is understandably further?
 
Deryn Kaaldos Deryn Kaaldos

Thank you for making those changes. However, some of the language is still is a little on the forceful side, in particular the "Blonde Bombshell" weakness.

  • BLONDE BOMBSHELL: It's sheer strength is immense with ability to rip apart ships even when handheld. Its most notable aspect is its continuous blast, which wastes quite a bit of energy but the output it can put out is worth it. It has a signature yellow laser beam as it tunnels through its victims.

Damage on Chaos is still called by the defender, but again,.. this is very vague. How big a ship are we talking about? How powerful defences?
