different thought i just had

i had a weird thought, about the whole way bf weapons work. my weird idea was you hold it to charge, and let go to shoot as much as you charged. like drawing a bow, and then letting go.

Bf doesn't have any weapons like that!

It's an interesting mechanic...

Nice thought. (:

Maybe a sniper weapon could have a charge to fire feature x) that would make it much less OP

I've come to necro this idea, charge weapons would be preety cool for defensive playstyles, and to be paired with sensor, a defensive module!

So uh, you could kind of charge a shot, and as soon as it reaches max charge, it immediately fires, its damage and speed (and thus, range) extending depending on your charge

Dunno, the idea of a long range/defensive style weapon seems fun in gamemodes like CTF, where defending your boi while the others get your flag is an absolute priority

How about a sniper that could traverse thins walls? It wouldn't do nearly as much damage when going through walls, but could be an interesting gameplay concept. Having a charge delay would prevent it from being abused.

Wow, a seven year old thread resurrected by someone other than amgine

I've personally been a fan of the EMP idea that's circulated around here a few times before: Charge it up and blast it, causing all ships in a nearby area to slide around frozen for a few seconds, unable to move or use modules (can still shoot).
