Ye Olde Weaponset

This should work with the latest beta.

 

Please excuse the unprofessional graphics. The nature of these weapons should create a whole new UFO experience. Any suggestions concerning the balancing out of the weaponset would be greatly welcomed.

Had a quick gander at this. I was very impressed. The powder keg is definitely fun, and I like the way it can be set off by any explosion in the vicinity - makes for tactical use. The blackpowder weapons are fun, as are the close-combat weapons. If there was one or two things to express concern about, that would be the grenade and the bow/arrow - they should be more powerful, I think. And, as Faust said, they're a bit pricey in general.

The gunpowder grenade? I tried to keep it weak so that it keeps tactical use as a slightly damaging smoke-grenade for charging melee troops, but will do boatloads of damage if you hit a grenadier, hand gonner or hand gonne reloader. Do you think the area of effect or the damage should be increased?

 

And yeah, the repeating crossbow is pretty shitty for now. I was actually thinking of reducing the clip size to six as well, and increasing the damage and accuracy a little. If an option for a launcher with an arc trajectory comes into effect, I'll switch it to that and dramatically increase the damage, so the crossbow will be a much more rounded weapon and not just a cheap version of the black powder guns. If that happens I'll probably add in a much more powerful longbow too, and a crank-powered revolver.
