Is Asgard's mainweapon Mjolnir a beam or projectile weapon?
so which mod can enhance Mjolnir's range? A beam lenght mod or a projectile lifetime mod?
Re: Is Asgard's mainweapon Mjolnir a beam or projectile weapon?
Beams are not really beams... from what I understand, but yea it is a beam like weapon.
Travel Drive Charge Time is absolutely @player_frustration +1
Re: Is Asgard's mainweapon Mjolnir a beam or projectile weapon?
okay, but does anyone from Egosoft mind giving me an offical answer too?
i'm asking because the mod system allows me to install any mod.
if it is a beam weapon, projectile lifetime mods shouldn't be allowed and vice versa^^
so which mod increases the Mjolnir's range?

I'm curious about this too.
For the moment I'm just using Annihilator mods for damage/cooling/reload.

I did some testing on this a few weeks ago and my conclusion at the time was that dmg & cooling are the key attributes. The reload times are shown to have huge benefits in the stats but for the main XL Battery weapon I don't think it benefits from that. A well modded Asgard battery can under manual control practically one-shot a Xenon I at close range

Any mods for that? I don't think there are any focused on dmg and cooling only.BigBANGtheory wrote: ↑Fri, 23.

Only one option that increases beam length - basic Lens. However it only adds an extra 5-10%, so tend not to bother with it myself & go for damage & cooling instead (currently using Annihilator for Asgard's main beam).
Re: Is Asgard's mainweapon Mjolnir a beam or projectile weapon?
Yea, too bad
We have what, about 10-15 projectile lifetime and speed mods, but only one option for beams?
There should be at least one blue and one purple mod options for increased beam lenght^^

I think more range might not be as good as you'd think, as that thing doesn't seem to work exactly like a beam, since the "beam" seems to have travel time.
So the further away you are from a target, the more time it takes for the beam to start hitting/damaging the target.
Damage/cooling looks like the way to go

Confirm beam length to increase range. Lifetime on a beam weapon affects how long the beam can stay up while you have the fire button pressed, but since the Asgard's beam weapon is already tuned to have a lifetime longer than heat allows, it won't have an effect.

I see it more like a "first strike" weapon against stations and other slow moving capitals ships - without the need to move my ships into their firing range.Maebius wrote: ↑Fri, 23.

And i've always liked the advantage of having more range than my opponents^^

I always thought Mjolnir is a Hammer that causes lightning strikes. When did Thor visit the X Universe and lost it’s Hammer so Terran could forge a beam weapon out of it?

just ignore the reload effects and use Exceptional Annihilator I think it is...Raptor34 wrote: ↑Fri, 23. Apr 21, 10:44Any mods for that?

Re: Is Asgard's mainweapon Mjolnir a beam or projectile weapon?
That's what I'm using yes. Just wondering if there are any more specialized mods out there.BigBANGtheory wrote: ↑Sat, 24.

Maybe one day besides paint mods we'll get engine/laser color mods.Berni wrote: ↑Sat, 24. Apr 21, 15:34Does it come in green?Karmaticdamage wrote: ↑Fri, 23. Apr 21, 18:05Its an eclipse SSD style super laser that one shots everything but the biggest XL ships.
