oooooh so its a plasma cannon

hes saying its a ball of energy, and plasma, both in several games and irl is simply a ball of lightning, or energy. if this is not what this fires, please explain it to me so i can stop misjudging this thing(if i am)

anything that fires a projectile made up of energy is a plasma cannon. the type of damage it does is irrelevant, if it shoots a ball of energy, its generally considered a plasma cannon. it could shoot a ball of energy and have the impact effect explode with teddy bears, its still a plasma cannon, and in this case, having an explosion of lightning would make it even more plasma cannony cuz the ball of lightning exploding into a storm of lightning, y know. its a plasma cannon. how is a ball of energy not a ball of plasma?

Your science is flawed sir, there's far more to it than just energy. Go look it up. You're probably correct in that this would be some form of plasma, but plasma is far more than just energy.

plasma also would not arch but this would have to be a rail gun a regular shell would lose power over the barrel and plasma would shoot and dissipate into space a rail gun is the only "logical" option left...

plasma in supcom arcs. in fact, almost all the weapons in supcom fire some form of plasma. all the aeon units fire lasers or plasma.

all the cybran artillery fires plasma. even the mavor from fa is a plasma cannon if you read the wiki. even the tiny little uef t1 point defense turret FROM FA is a plasma cannon. so technically, supcom 2's tech has devolved. which shows that square enix basically only took the idea of supcom. they didnt even look into the types of damage they did. in supcom 2, many of the uef units fire shells/bullets, yet in the first supcom, even the uef t1 point defense fired plasma.

so TECHNICALLY, tech has devolved quite a bit in comparison to the original supcom. if this is fires a ball of energry, really the only difference betwen it and the vanilla mavor is he size and shape of the gun, and has bigger splash damage.

also, overrated, it would be no different than the cybran artillery if its explosion would be throwing bolts of lightning crawling everywhere. unless you mean the affect lingers like radiation.

wait so like the ion storm from chickens in FA??? that would be neat but i still like the mini nukes or maby new mavor can go through small shields just an idea.
that would be cool if all factions got a bit of that tech in their own way and not just the scummy aeon

hmmm that is an interesting query.

it is cool to continue a units legacy by calling the unit with the same role the same name as in previous games, but it was nice to only have one monkeylord. yeah, its technically a monkleylord mk II, but it was nice to only have one mavor, one monkeylord, one fatboy, one colossus, one aegis, one soul ripper, one persy. a great way to make the mod stand out would be to give its units names that are independent of supcom 1 and 2. now that this guy mentions it, it feels like the mod units are piggy backing off originals. lets let the originals have their own names and give the revamped units their own names?

i mean hell well always feel that the revamped units will simply be upgrades, but why not give the upgrades their own names instead of calling them mk I or mk II? calling them mark insert number here feels vanilla.
