New Weapons

So there I was, re-writing files for Empires in the new Mod. Lengthy process, adding in references to new technology and correctly errors that have been there for 7 years! Most files are copied from original empires when SE IV was released in 2000. So, I'm on Yahoo Chat talking to Black Knyght who says he's got something for me. Amonsgt other things, there was a couple of pictures for new weapons including a MassDriver.
Details haven't been decided, but its a massive direct fire weapon probably going to be 70kt (kiloton) in weight, for massive ships like Dreadnoughts, Monitors, Juggernoughts and Worldships. Reload rate, probably about every 5 turns but with firepwoer of 100 hitpoints, its going to hurt! Unless you have massive shields, but then it may be given the ability to skip shields... :-). Of course, it could be given the ability to skip armour as well !
Anyway, I've posted the picture of it, cause as usual it shows how much detail he gets into them. And I'm posting another link that might boost peoples ability to find this site. SE IV has a lot to offer, and the new graphics will bring it up to todays standards, whilst also improving game play by adding new features like better music - some very intergalactic music.
Now if anyone wants to be an Intergalactic System Lord, check out those links to Space Empires dot Net ! As usual, I'm short of time, with lots to do. I've got Empires to adjust so they research those things theyy need to make them into a decent adversary, like troops, mines, satellites, ground defense bunkers etc etc..
