I love all of the weapons this game has to offer. Each is specially designed for a specific purpose.
Example: Rockets target enemy capital ships.
Example: Lazers professionalize at mowing down drones.
I personally think this game could use more diverse and unique weapons, though, stuff you don't see often in space games like lazers, rockers, and machine guns. For an example, I have been thinking a lot about a sonic cannon, a turret that fires a massive, but weak shock blast that blows back overwhelming numbers of drones and alien fighters.
Give a shout out to any turrets you want to see and give them a description of what you want them to do! I'll be posting any ideas I have as well.

I did (sorry for continuous mentioning) suggest an ion cannon for the aliens on the wikia portal.
But if we were to get new weapons, i would say the ALIENS needed more weaponry. they have 3 weapons.
The Single Barrel blaster:
The double barreled laser machine gun:
And the Vaccuum t

i meant to say, and the Giant vacuum that shoots hairballs.
So they need a variety of weapons more

This thread is for mothership turrets, but we can make another for alien turrets if you'd like.

Does anyone actually have any ideas for new weapons to contribute? So far, we only have my sonic cannon and three3pryme's ion cannon.

I just had another decent idea for a new turret. @space Boarders, if you come across this thread, please feel free to give your opinion and constructive criticism.
I though since we have a turret that heals slowly friendly ships with nano bot tech, why can't we have a turret that slowly damages enemy ships with nano bot tech? It wouldn't do a whole lot of damage, of course. It would be very useful against enemy capital ships.
As the enemy capital ships slowly crawl after you, the drainer turret would, as the name suggests, drain its health, weakening it slightly so you may destroy it more easily.

Id think that may be too powerful. And if you want to tag space borders you have to put @ admin without the space

The drainer wouldn't do loads of damage. It would very, very slowly drain enemy capital ship's shields and health at a decent distance.

I think I mentioned that we shouldn't expect any new weapons in the next update. These are just visions and ideas for a think tank that could possibly considered for future updates.

Maybe have a turret that does increasingly more damage over time, like for the first 30 round do x damage, then the next 30 rounds do 2x damage, and so on?

The sonic cannon wouldn't be very realistic since sound doesn't propagate in the vacuum of space, but the concept seems very interesting.
What about a railgun that damages all enemies in a straight line. So the turret would aim at and shoot a target, but the projectile wouldn't disappear when it hits the alien ship but would go straight through and keep on going to damage 1 or 2 more enemies before it finally disintegrates and disappears.

Maybe some MACs? Like the ones from Halo?
