Siege Cannon work in progress

Description
I got something similar to the siege cannon working right now but gonna need someone who can make something better for the bullet itself and a proper blast radius thingie.
WTF?!?! Did you just oneshot a mothership??? will that be the balanced version? and yeah, you need some sort of blast radius.
Dont worry Ovid like i said this one is just for testing purposes the damage it causes can be edited etc. Oh and it has splash damage which when the bullet reaches the target it deals 900k damage to all enemy ships within 40 km of the projectile. BUt like it said it will be edited for balance. More like 4-5km with 400k damage or something i think and 10 min reload or something.
really nice... But as long as not all races get such a weapon I don't think much about it. Even if it has 10 mins reload time it will still be unbalanced if other factions don't get similiar weapons. In Cata mp I hated the siege cannon it ruined the entire mp experience and was cause that cataclysm mp was pretty much dead.
I wonder if the same kind of weapon would work for beast forces. Maybe it could be possible to write a script which defines & count on which ship was beeing targeted on and then replace it with the same ship type but just as infected version under the control of the player who shot the cannon (maybe even count everything that was in the explosion radios). While it still wouldn't be like in cata it would be at least better than having no infection at all. The original ships will just be deleted and 1 mili second the new one will be spawned on the same place the original ship was.
However not sure if hw2 is capable of reading such complicated scripts.
Perhaps an infection bomb then?
yeah but ti should be able to capture captile ships
something like that yeah... :)
Where is Chris btw?
Wish i knew buddy.
