Description
A mod focused on adding new types of weapons and abilities to Starbound. Currently contains only ranged weapons; new melee types may show up later.

This mod changes the following aspects of the base game:
  • New experimental feature: for the new weapon types this mod introduces only, Uncommon and Rare weapon names gain additional prefixes and suffixes.

This mod adds the following new weapon abilities:
Focused Shot - Ranged Weapon Alt Ability
  • Alternate version of Marked Shot. Harder to use, deals more damage.
  • Upon activation, mouse over an enemy to lock onto it as a target.
  • Keep your mouse near a targeted enemy to focus on it. Enemies outside of line of sight will lose charge slowly. A fully-focused enemy will take 2x weapon damage, with exponential falloff as charge decreases.
  • Once the alt ability key is released, the weapon will quickly release a spread of bullets to hit every targeted enemy within the weapon's line of sight.
  • Appears on randomly generated Sniper Rifles.

This mod adds the following new weapons:
Minigun - New Two-Handed Weapon Type
  • High fire rate, low damage and energy consumption.
  • Has a Spin Up property; miniguns can be charged by firing or by holding right click. They lose charge over time if not spinning up; as charge increases, the minigun fires much faster, but becomes much less accurate and consumes more energy.
  • Possible alternate abilities: Spin Up.
  • Rarity slightly higher than Grenade Launchers and Rocket Launchers (0.8).
  • There are several unrand miniguns, either craftable or findable:
  • - Bluster Cannon, Legendary level 6, found with other random legendaries
  • - Gnominigun, Legendary level 6, found with other random legendaries
  • - The Lawnmower, Legendary level 6, found with other random legendaries
Pepperbox - New One-Handed Weapon Type
  • One-handed variant of shotguns. Faster fire rate, slightly less energy consumption and higher accuracy, at the cost of considerably lower damage and a lack of secondary abilities.
  • Rarity on par with most normal weapons (1.0).

The following changes and additions are planned:
  • Miniguns apply speed reduction while spinning up
  • Unique sprites for new weapon types - current sprites are combinations of other default weapons
  • Unrands for existing weapon types
  • Handcannons - high-damage, two-handed? explosive pistols
  • Mortars - two-handed combinations of rocket and grenade
  • Random Flamethrowers - different elemental effects and specials
  • Crossbows - bows with higher fire rate and lower accuracy/damage, also coming in one-handed Pistol and machinegun-like Repeating varieties
  • Two-handed shields with special abilities (Throw, Bash, Charge)

What are the commands to spawn in the legendary miniguns?

Hey, I would recommend that you change the minigun sprites to look more like an actual minigun. Other than that, great mod.

how do i make them??

So, i found out how to make the miniguns charge faster.
when you rmaking a custom minigun, in the primaryAbility section, put "spinupTime":[number]
It's a bit reversed, lower numbers increase the time, higher decrease.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the spin down action to work

The Focused Shot is my favorite thing about this. It's EXACTLY what I've wanted, and it's awesome. Thanks for this, mate, it's stellar!
