Wilson's Notes Vol. 1

A GUIDE TO AIRSHIP ARTILLERY

This book contains information on Light guns. It is a haphazard conglomeration of paper scraps glued and sewn together to more or less form pages. The writing is coarse and sprawling, wild at times, amongst meticulously sketched light gun diagrams, measurements, and firing angles. Many of the pages are singed and smeared with oil stains or black dust that smells of gunpowder. Hastily written notes can be read on the back margins of the cover page.

Very Long Range. Launches a single explosive rocket over medium/long range.

Long Range. A smaller Flak Cannon, this gun fires explosive rounds over a medium to long range with a high rate of fire. Arming time of 0.5 seconds, no AoE Burst damage under 200m.

Short Range. A close-range piercing weapon with a very high rate of fire, singularly effective against armor.

Close Range. Unleash all hell on an enemy ship at close range with a jet of fire.

Short Range. Fires a wide shotgun burst of shredding projectiles at close range.

Medium Range. Will attach to hulls and reel enemies in when secondary fire button is held.

Medium Range. Fires a brightly burning flare that hovers in the air to reveal ships hidden in cloud cover. Can also be used as a weapon to cause fire damage. Arming time of 0.6667s.

Very Long Range. A slow-firing, long-range scoped cannon that fires powerful explosive rounds.

Short Range. Capable of firing heavy explosive shells over short/medium range, but with limited accuracy.

Long Range. Rapidly fires a stream of explosive rockets that have a chance to light components on fire.

Short Range. Lays proximity-detonated floating mines at short range. Mines will arm and deploy after 3 seconds. Each gun supports 5 mines at a time; extras will self-destruct.

Very Long Range. A mid to long-range armor melting weapon with arcing shots. A higher skilled gun that can be terrifying in the right hands. Arming time of 0.6s, no AoE under 150m with default ammo. Ammo types that will reduce arming range list either reduced velocity or reduced arming time.

Long Range. Fires an electrical discharge that arcs between multiple enemies. Hold the trigger to charge up to 5 seconds; damage and number of jumps increases with charge time. Minimum charge time of 1.25s.

Long Range. Fires canisters of caustic chemicals, which create a cloud of disabling gas when they explode. Gas clouds slow and deals damage over time, each cloud lasts 13 seconds. Secondary-fire detonates the canister. Arming distance of 60m.

Medium Range. Fires remote-guided missiles; reticle must bet kept on a target to direct missiles towards it. Main missile splits into guided submunitions after 0.25 seconds (50m). Submunitions have random velocity between 150m/s and 200m/s. Submunitions begin randomly detonating after 600m with missiles rarely reaching beyond 1700m.

Long Range. Hold down trigger to start charging. Starts dealing damage after 0.75 seconds of charge. Will increase damage to 400% base damage over 4 seconds of continuous fire at the cost of 30% reduced turn speed. Releasing trigger restarts the charge and damage ramp. Reduced damage starting after 300m. 50% damage at 800m. Passes through targets, damaging all components and ships in line-of-sight.

Short Range. Modified coils allows for short charge time and multiple shots per clip. Despite 400m range, it is highly effective against groups of enemies with its higher chance to arc.

Short Range. Large burst of super heated beams that extend to 450m. Slightly reduced damage after 150m.

Medium Range. Higher rate of fire with experimental gas shells that deals high damage but dissipates quickly.

Very Long Range. Fires a single slow moving incendiary missile that can be guided to a target. Deals substantial hull damage and starts fires in a large radius.

Medium Range. Fires remote-guided missiles; reticle must be kept on a target to direct missiles towards it. Main missile splits into 7 guided submunitions after 0.01 seconds. Submunitions have random velocity between 250m/s and 300m/s. Submunitions begin randomly detonating after 600m with missiles rarely reaching beyond 1700m.

Long Range. Hold down trigger to start charging. Starts dealing damage after 1.75 seconds of charge. Will increase damage to 400% base damage over 8 seconds of continuous fire at the cost of 30% reduced turn speed. Releasing trigger restarts the charge and damage ramp. Reduced damage starting after 300m. 50% damage at 800m. Passes through targets, damaging all components and ships in line-of-sight.
