I heard you like bullets, so i put some bullets on your bullets to shoot bullets.

But seriously, no thats a bad idea. A short range pointdefence pointdfence would be pointless when you start moving engagement ranges outwards.

Oh noez! My plan is foiled, I'll have to use PDPDPDPD Missiles! They are so small the human eye can't actually see them.
But my PDPDPDPDPD nanomunitions would defeat you!

bah! I would put shields on my PD bullets, so your PD PD bullets would be useless

To an extent, it's already possible. Light drones (or any drones with a small mount) can already carry PD, to get rid of those pesky interceptor missiles. I'm still working on the shielded drone design.

That'd be awesome, I love using drones in this game :)

Is it just me or are node cannons kind of overpowered? Just lost a small fleet to damn rip bores blowing my cruisers into oblivion.

according to statements from the devs on the official forum, they are not because the ship is expensive and blablabla.

i tend to say, if an utilarian ship has the power force the enemy to bring in specialized ships (with verry long range), something is wrong.

Node cannons have an extremely limited field of fire, long recharge, and don't even kill human ships (they just send them down random nodelines). And only the rip borerers have them, which are incredibly expensive compared to normal ships and are vital to the Zuul fleets.

I don't even think they fire in auto-combat either, like most specialized weapons.

There is no way to field large numbers of node cannons in a normal game. If you have the cash to do so, you are ridiculously wealthy and will probably win anyway. It is also fairly easy to outrange them, especially if you have missiles, which essentially makes them useless.
