Cosmoteer - ES Genf performing an Ion Burst (command execution demonstration)

This is the first ship I made using an Ion Burst. It works by feeding the beams into a prism-loop which amplifies the original input damage by x4 and then releases the stored energy.

так а это я возьму на турнир)

I could of sworn something like that was used in a battleship brawlers video. I think the dude called it a "Positive Feedback Loop."

[@somedudeok1451]

Yeah, it got picked up by the community after I made a few posts about it. Which is cool.

[@thegoldbarbecue9708]

could you make a video showing the effectiveness of this?? it seems like a really cool concept

[@somedudeok1451]

It's pretty effective imo. If I recall correctly, it can burst through 8 or so large shields before going back to regular output mode. I made a few gifs testing the effectiveness. They're all up on my steam account and you should be able to find them if you search the cosmoteer community for the words "ion burst".

One HE missile sneaks into the array during charging and the whole solar system is gone.

[@somedudeok1451]

Well, it takes more than 1 missile. And the same problem goes for every ship with a beam main weapon. I've tested it against tournament ships and it works if you do hit and run. Fly towards, burst, reverse or avoid to charge, repeat.

thank you. i really like this mechanic and ship. maybe a bigger capital ship with this?

[@somedudeok1451]

This beam is already scratching the upper limit of what is useful, because of overkill damage loss. Making it bigger won't make it kill blocks faster.

[@naseweis6105]

@@somedudeok1451 alright, didnt know this is a thing. maybe more speed and a few tractor beams for targeting.
i love this game...
