Massive MAC!

Description
Welcome to the fourth installment of my MAC (Magnetic Accelerator Cannon) mod! The first version can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=487521116

But that's not what you're after! So, you guys requested the massive MAC from HALO, huh? Well here you go!
And also a slightly cheaper version that looks like it was made in a junk yard, because why not.

Large ship missile pod VS Huge MAC:
[Now comes in ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ASCII edition!]

Attribute | Large Missile Pod | Huge MAC Round
DesiredSpeed | 700 | 1800
MaxTrajectory | 800 | 800 - I WILL NOT CHANGES THIS, Reason below.
BackkickForce | 700 | 1800
Mass | 45 | 450
ExplosionRadius | 4 | 60 (Re-Tuned, was 120, 40)
ExplosionDamage | 500 | 150,000 (Re-Tuned, was 18000, 28800)
Skip Acceleration | False | True
RateOfFire | 67 | 5

Dimensions:
Trashy MAC: 7x7x12
UNSC MAC: 5x5x28

This part here is because I keep getting asked:
I'm not changing the firing range on this. If I did, it would mean it is a weapon that could be exploited - say you pointed it at someone's base from 900m out. The base's automated turrets wouldn't be able to reach you, but you could just completely annhilate the base. That would not only be unfair and unsportsmanlike, but also it may keep admins from approving it on servers. How would you like it if you couldn't do anything about your attacker? The damage of this thing alone is a huge advantage, but practical immunity is beyond what I'm trying to do here. Thank you for understanding.

It has:
~7.5% Fireing rate of a pod full of missiles.
10x Explosion radius.
36x Explosion damage.
~2.5x Speed.
10x Mass.
I think that's a win.
You're practically chucking a small nuke at them.
Enjoy.

Some credit to DaddyWarcrimes for his amazing and helpful comment for the re-tuning.

Oh, and I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve the stats. It might need some tuning but I've tested it somewhat and I think it's powerful enough to stand up to the hype. That, and modders, you should try my SBCEdit program. It's in alpha testing for now, but it will continue to improve over this fall in my free time - http://masterchef365.weebly.com/sbcedit.html

Again, thank you, please make suggestions (or rants), and enjoy!

Does anyone know of a way to expand the range on this manually with a script or something?

Yes I know this wasn't updated after 2015.
Yes I know the author probably won't fix or remake this mod in any way.
Yes I know this is more or less a meme weapon...

But I'm going to ask anyway,
Perhaps an update to this would be nice... I mean, it's one of the few massive fixed cannon-type weapons around. Plus, I'm going to argue something here...

Range. Range is important on this kind of weapon as it's size makes it prime for long range strikes. Not to mention planetary strikes (Which is what I'd like it for the most) would be a really nice feature. Also, if a person adds this mod to their list, they understand the risk of 'out-of-range' weapons and exploiting. My argument is that there are new mods now that add much longer range weapons that go beyond 1.5km. I feel this mod would be an amazing refresher into much longer range combat which I really really like and want more of. I want km distance combat more than melee distance combat.

I know you dont wish to change the range however that being said most people will be using this in modded worlda which means ai targeting range could be as far as 10km. And if using mexpex players will have weapons capable of hitting up to 50kms range.

BabyInAnMRI 19 Jul, 2017 @ 4:03pm 
wait, you could change the distance but make it harder to make, like way harder.
(Im not asking, just an suggestion, i havn't even used this yet.)

@Masterchef365 Great mod, been using it a while. Would it be cool if I were to publish a version of your mod with some balance tweaks to use on my personal server? (you'll of course be credited)
