rfouasnon Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Has anyone researched down this particular tech path , and if so , what are the mats needed to construct this weapon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cestvel Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think improved versions of what the basic ones need. and a bit more, as the size increases as well. Sorry, I have no ANZ at hand. Will post it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I used an ANZ order for that on my new position , but I am needing to know if I already need improved mats to make those...or even advanced mats.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKE235 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Has anyone researched down this particular tech path , and if so , what are the mats needed to construct this weapon? Welcome In this case the Gauss guns proceed 10cm, 20cm, 30cm, etcetera... You need to prior version researched to research the next. 30cm guns have Good Projectile strength and use Steel and Electronics. 40 cm moves to the next level, using Improved Steel and Improved Electronics (which requires Improved Refined Crystals and Improved Synthetic Materials). It's a Superior class Projectile weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks a ton....I was wondering at which point one would need the improved mats to make the weapon....getting up to 40cm should be easy for a startup , but then one has to be able to make the mats too...so added expense of setup points....again , thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a post like this someone is going to shine you on. And, come on! Welcome mats. Thats funny Your answer is ADVANCED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Information is all....if I can get the info , then I can plan along those lines....do you have something against my asking? When you start playing a game that is new , then in the first turns you can waste time / resources....I did that on my first position , not going do that with the second position....judging by your date when you registered for the forums , you have been playing much longer than myself , and already know all the answers . In four years I am sure I will know alittle more about the game , and not have to ask silly questions like this......but in the meantime , I will be asking stupid questions...sorry.....

Stop, you are going to make me bust a croc I do not believe there to be a stupid question. But you're going to have to be able to take the heat from some questions And, REALLY!!!! Welcome Mats.

cestvel Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 20cm already needs Improved. Now I have access to the ANZ and it turns out, that it is ADVANCED what you need: ANZ: 40cm Gauss Gun 40cm Gauss Gun: Gauss Guns accelerate projectiles down a long tube that often runs the length of a ship. The projectiles are cased in steel, imparted a magnetic charge, and boosted toward the target at fantastic speeds. A cluster of Gauss Guns fired all at once can either shred a target with small or medium-sized projectiles.or miss entirely. There's nothing quite like a hit from a battery of Gauss Guns, and weapons crews often refer to targets struck in such a manner as being "de-gaussed", though it seems to be an inside joke since it doesn't seem to make any sense to anybody other than a Gauss Gunner. (1,600 tons) 6,400 Advanced Steel - 1,600 Advanced Electronics Classification: Weapon Range: Beam Structural Integrity: 1600 Prerequisite Technologies: 30cm Gauss Gun Projectile Strength: Superior [25600] ================================================================================ ======================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I have 10/20/30 all with Steel and Electronics, and 40 with improved. I never build the things (just ANZ from one's I've found in explores). Hmm .. might be easier to ANZ the ones laying around. I wonder what I copied wrong and where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sigh...so much for the idea of building the 40cm gun early the improved mats are doable early.....no idea how much longer the advanced are going to take.....thanks for the information though.

Kurassier Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Don't worry, eventually you'll find that if it doesn't require advanced materials, it isn't worth building. It will be awhile before you find anyone (let alone spongebob) so research the improved and advanced materials and you will have them before you know it. Also, if you are hunting sponges, I'd suggest the thermal lances and for ground combat, the jet harpoon launchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Elder 'Keen Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 While you are waiting for the adv mats to finish up normal research, spend the startup points instead on armor and force fields.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No No No. You want Heavy Jellyfish Nets when hunting sponges and pink starfish. Unfortunately they also require advanced materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
