Re: On the subject of the Gauss Cannon...

In Response To: Re: On the subject of the Gauss Cannon... (Ain Soph Aur)

: Who says the Gauss gun will be that powerful in Multiplayer?

: Also, Super MACs, being mounted in space, would make no sound, as there is
: nothing to vibrate.

: Distance in space means nothing. There's no friction to slow the shell down.
: It's just that Covie ships are a bitch to shoot down, so you need
: something to deliver more shock.

distances do matter because if you're firing at a taget near the moon at the speed of light, it takes 1 second to reach the target, it takes 4 seconds for a supermac gone to reach the moon because it moves at 1/4 the speed of light. it isn't accerating at the speed of light, its velocity maxes out at .4(3E8) no friction doesn't really mean anything, if something that small is moving that fast in an atmosphere, it'll just disintigrate.
