Feels more TR than NS

This could be a great AA weapon.

Eventually, I'd like to see more and more over-the-top weapons like this for every race. Just awesome huge guns that are possibly very expensive but incredibly devastating and sexy. Just for fun

Looks like a fantastic Liberator gun.

NaniteSystems sure loves their gatling machineguns.

So is this the replacement for the ball turrets on the Gal and Lib Tail? The twit mentions that it can be attached to transports as well as the Lib so this makes me think this isn't the bomber's weapon.

Kinda misses the point of a gatling gun.. Their whole purpose is if you need more firepower you just speed it up. Considering I doubt they'll come anywhere close the the many thousands of RPM real gatling guns spit out, they could have just had one and made it behave like a real gatling gun.

Does look wicked though, so I guess it has that going for it.

Add this to both arms of the TR max and other empires can have whatever they want!

DviddLeff · 2012-04-24, 01:23 PM

That thing is going to kick out a lot of lead.

This weapon was mentioned in the Liberator update on the official site, as one of the weapons available to the gunner:

"The Liberator is an armored gunship capable of wreaking havoc on ground forces. The primary weapon on the Liberator is a downward facing gun emplacement operated by a passenger. This emplacement has several different options such as an armor devastating 150mm cannon or a shredding 30mm Gatling gun."

Looks to be more of an infantry specialized weapon. A spread of lead, versus the pinpoint lazer beam of lead. Either would be effective and there are more parts that can burn out on the quad, though if a cylinder went down, you'd still have 3.

Looks sexy. I can't wait to see that thing in game.

Atheosim · 2012-04-24, 02:45 PM

Holy shit...I really do wonder which air vehicle will be getting that thing and in which slot...

Shogun · 2012-04-24, 03:22 PM

damn sexy. and if it´s only 1/4th as dangerous as it should be in this configuration, i am a happy camper!

can be equipped on transports... does this include the sunderer and galaxy?

I know it says this is for aircraft, but I'd love to see this mounted on the roof of that sleek low-profile troop transport we saw recently (the suspected Deliverer).
