Mainly though it is to boost the Particle Beam as a serious weapon choice. The Particle Lance is intended as a powerful anti-ship weapon that requires a large investment in a particular tech line, lacks the flexibility of lasers or railguns and provides a different armour penetrating option to mesons, although mesons are still superior against shields. The Lasers are devastating at close range, the Particle Beams inflict more damage at long range (in terms of DPS), while the Particle Lance penetrates much more armour at long range. Two Particle Beams or 25cm Lasers can be installed in the same hull space as the Particle Lance. Here are examples of similar tech level Particle Beam, Particle Lance and Laser. The Particle Lance retains the constant damage of the Particle Beam, creating a weapon that can penetrate enemy armour at significant range. The Particle Lance modification affects the Particle Beam in the following ways:Īs well as the above modifications, which essentially creates a weapon twice as large, that recharges 2.5x more slowly and costs 3x as much, the damage template of the Particle Lance is a single column of armour, rather than the Particle Beam which has a template between that of missiles and lasers. The Lance is a modification of the normal Particle Beam and is an extra option in the design window. Once Particle Beam Range 200,000 km and Particle Beam Strength 6 have both been researched, the Particle Lance can be researched for 30,000 RP. The Particle Lance is a large, potentially devastating weapon that is variant of the Particle Beam. 6) Mesons will destroy missiles without penalty, as missiles are no longer armoured in C# Aurora.Īs with everything else, these changes are subject to play test.5) If the meson hits a damaged armour location, it only has to penetrate the remaining armour in that location.
4) If armour does stop the meson, it scores 1 point of damage on the armour.3) A new tech line exists, Meson Armour Retardation, which is the chance for each layer of armour to stop the meson.
Mesons have the following changes for C# Aurora:
