The Story...

The gamma ray gun is an early prototype. Not much is known about this new and still secret weapon. However, it is now known that it has a long range and, thanks to sophisticated AI control, absolute precision. In the early stages of development, it is believed to be based on the Khaak's Gamma Kyon Emitter.

This beam cannon emits a barely perceptible high-energy beam. The visible part of the beam is created by ionizing matter along the beam, while the actual gamma beam is invisible. However, the fact that the beam is barely visible very easily belies its destructive effect. This unfolds, as we know, in the invisible range of gamma radiation, which is always absolutely lethal.

Experts believe that at present the effect cannot be effectively stopped by any shield or armor. However, a hit target does not "suffer" as its matter instantly vaporizes.


After succeeding in bringing forth the 700mm large-caliber gun based on the Targon gun, further tests have been conducted in secret. The result is a new prototype. What changes the weapon system has undergone and whether it has anything at all to do with the Targon guns is not officially known.

It is suspected that micro-singularities are being experimented with. They are said to be multiple M/AM projectiles that create microscopic black holes upon impact - a so-called multi-impact M/AM weapon system. M/AM weapons were used on capital ships in the "Terran Conflict".

Even then, there was no way to defend against this, which was met with rejection by all civilized factions. If these reports are confirmed, this will again cause conflicts. Even today, there is no effective protection.

Can anyone point me to, why these weapons appear to have no sound at all?
The rays could have a bit more "oomph" in visuals, but besides that the weapons are nice and I like them, they make no sounds though.. *shrugs*

Gibt es auch ne reine Terraner version?
Also von den Materialien meine ich.
Elektronikkomponenten in nem Terran only Playthrough is halt nicht Terran only.

The beam could have more contrast...in the VRO version it's confusing when you can't see where it's pointing at such a long distance. Also the sound effect could be louder...otherwise good job.

Do these weapons (and the medium version) work with 6.0?

Der Hüllenschaden entsteht GENAU dort wo der Treffer landet. Ist direkt DANEBEN ein Turret, so nimmt dieses keinen Schaden. Bei einem Gebietsschaden würde das Turret aber, je nach Entfernung, einen anteiligen Schaden nehmen. Also zählt hier auch ein indirekter Treffer.
Kiaardoo 18 Apr, 2023 @ 12:56pm 
kannst du mir den Unterschied erklären zwischen Hüllenschaden (ohne Gebietsschaden) und Gebietshüllenschaden (im Epizentrum)? Bzw was ist damit gemeint?
