[Nexus] New weapons type

[Aussiegamer]

I am adding flechette to my base types for my system.

heres a couple fo examples, thoughts please.
And on the format as well. I am trying to get a easy to read format as well.

Now for those interested. In Nexus gauss can be used to fire a metal rod and a shell type round.

The Flechette system only sends down a metal rod.

How is a flechette rifle an "early version of the Gauss gun"? They're two completely different technologies.

See? These are flechettes...

And this is gauss technology.

 

[Aussiegamer]

So let me get this right a gauss gun fire flechettes by your reasoning, looking at the wiki sites you put up.

As flechettes are a type of ammo and guass the gun system, so they do seem to fit....hum....

Since Gauss guns are supposed to be in the distant future and has not even been developed yet, then we can design the gear as we like to fit the campaign ideas we have.

Flechettes are small metal parts in an artillery shell now, and have been around since cannons were invented really. Its a name.

So I am using the name for gravity throwers that have small metal spikes. They are not as effective at damaging as my version of gauss, which can be tipped to do extra damage. And have some new future system of firing them.

No. Man, you must read English as badly as you write it!

I was trying to say that flechette weapons and gauss weapons are two vastly different types of technology.

 

[Aussiegamer]

So all of this is over a statement that I put in about one being an earlier version of another?

Solved!

I will delete the statement to allow the comments to be on the data not and some minor statement OK

can we please talk about the data not not just some minor issue that has no impact on the information.

 

[Aussiegamer]

No. Man, you must read English as badly as you write it!

I was trying to say that flechette weapons and gauss weapons are two vastly different types of technology.

and using your own sources and SRD

The word flechette is French and means "dart" (literally, "little arrow"). It is a projectile having the form of a small metal dart, usually steel, with a sharp-pointed tip and a tail with several vanes to stabilize it during flight.

This seems to read as ammo

Also from d20 SRD arcana equipment

in ammo types

Flechette
Flechette rounds fire bundles of razor-sharp, fin-stabilized tungsten darts. A weapon that fires this ammunition improves its critical threat range by one, but takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls

Now Gauss GUN

From your link

A coilgun (also known as Gauss gun, Gauss cannon or Gauss rifle) is a type of cannon that uses a series of electromagnetic coils to accelerate a magnetic shell to very high velocities. The name "Gauss gun" comes from Carl Friedrich Gauss, who formulated mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic effect used by coilguns.

hum reads to me as a GUN.

From d20 SRD future

Rail Gun
The Gravity Age rail gun uses gravity pulses, not magnets, to propel a projectile at high velocities. Metal shards are accelerated along the rail gun’s length, leaving the barrel at an extremely high velocity.

So maybe we can fit the ammo in the gun. As one is a magnetic/ gravity firing system and the other a metal rod????

I was trying to say that flechette weapons and gauss weapons are two vastly different types of technology.

And one is PL 7 and the other PL 8, and thus you are saying what I said.

I called my gun the gauss gun and made it pl 8. The SRD has this version as PL7 using magnets, so that seems to fit the above guns descriptions some what I feel.

So I made my "gauss" gun a PL 8 and have a flechette gun in PL 7.

This is not just a d20M F forum and I do put [Nexus] in front to show that I am not talking about that system.

Also please don't be so rude. We are not all great typists, or spellers, or might not even speak english well, or have some uni degree that makes us think we are superior to others.
So get over the grammar dude.

 

[Plane Sailing]

No. Man, you must read English as badly as you write it!

Roudi, this kind of language is uncalled for. Be civil or you will be taking a short holiday from ENworld.

 

[Aussiegamer]

Do you think that the information needs to be expanded more or altered some how?

I am looking for a good format for showing gear.

 

[Aussiegamer]

Is there any real comments that anyone is interested in putting in please?

I am after real feed back about the look of the data.

 

[Hinthas]

Yeah, I have a comment.



THANKS !!! I have been looking for about a year now for SOMEBODY to post a Flechette Mini Gun. I personally think a healthy blend of DU Flechettes and Incendiary Flechettes would be very entertaining against character or vehicle armor. I'm occassionally annoyed at how smug some of my players are when their characters EASILY crush whatever encounter I spent hours thining about for the game.

And Roudi, thank you for also posting informative links on the differences between the two systems.
