Actually, this is not that important at all. Openxcom allows to schedule manufacture of hundreds units of ammunition with few clicks of mouse button.Hmm.... right.
Producing and storing Gauss ammo in batches of 50 like gas cannon ammo would meant that every time that craft returns to base after firing few shots, remaining ~40 rounds would be wasted.
3. You have to manufacture ammo whereas the laser cannons recharge on their own.More importantly, you have to manufacture ammo one shot at a time - it would be much less of an issue if it was "Gauss ammo (x50)"
The very idea of using Gauss weapons underwater is unholy. It's like using torches underwater.Strictly speaking "Gauss" only tells you what is used to accelerate the projectile - it usually comes up in the context of "how to build a gun with a higher velocity than gunpowder weapons", but there's nothing that'd prevent one from building a magnetic accelerator launching heavy, slow projectiles.
Gauss bullets are ultra-fast and quite small, which gives them limited range on land because the quickly burn in the atmosphere. Of course, water is way worse. So I don't think they could have made a worse choice for a weapon type than this.
Why am I writing all this? Well, if I were in charge, I would come up with some other weapon type and depending on choice, I'd give it logical stats. For Gauss cannon as it is, sure, we can give it a better range or something to increase its gameplay value, but that's still unsatisfying.
oh, bummerSome of the terror units in TFTD have both melee and ranged attacks, so I don't expect this limit to remain foreverI thought it might be possible to have more than one "living weapon"... the sectopod could also do with a secondary weapon - that's another thing that I think xcom2012 got right ...
I'd go with warboy's, with the confirm button just saying "OK"OK, why didn't I think of "OK?"
I personally prefer 2nd picture, because perfectly reflect the situation.
You can have native-size sprites or resized-size sprites but you can't have it both ways.Obviously.
In your last gif pixel of torch fire are 2 times smaller than rest of pixel and game will never (without ugly hacks) be able to made something like this.Never?
