Someone already did this i think

Current disadvantages of Ion: Ludicrously large generators, either needs charge time or constant power input followed by charge for second shot, damage falloff

Mmmm, Monkey

Area damage of the ion beam cut it in half before it started falling. Imo if the 1st ion beam had the damage of the last shot it could be kinda considered balanced, with all the cost and space the whole system takes. I wish someone updated 2cm to current version, it would be grand!

Ship clearly didn't wear safety 🤓

Yeah its a rotor mod, unfortunately we forgot which one it was. We both had advanced rotors in mind so thats probably it. I can tell you that they had a ring shape so the ion beam could go through the middle.

@@expansionisten7521 no problem, i already found it in Federal Industrial - Utilites mod :)

No, ion is a discontinued 2cm beam system mod. There is a fan base but nobody knows how to update it, I have contacted the original mod creator and he said he is done with modding space engineers. Someone should really update this mod

Even if it was updated, I don't think 2CM would really work with weaponcore outside of just being able to work with the weaponcore damage type system, as it's not a self-contained weapon but rather a set of component blocks that can be used to build a complex weapon system.

@@VestedUTuber it kind of does work with weapon core, as in, it will do damage to blocks. Just might be really inconsistent and unstable. Well it worked last time I used it with weapon core before the 1st warfare update, so it might be completely broken now.

@@HalIOfFamer "it kind of does work with weapon core, as in, it will do damage to blocks. Just might be really inconsistent and unstable. " That's basically the extent of its compatibility. Weaponcore expects either single-piece weapon/weapon turrets or custom turrets with single-piece weapons, 2CM uses multiple components to direct a beam and the initial emitter may not necessarily line up with the final firing direction or even be on the same grid.

@@VestedUTuber no, every block is considered a custom turret. So it should be possible to update it. You make a turret out of blocks yes, but the way they work is just like fixed turrets. Of you ace a laser or an Ion emiter it will do really low damage over time, and with the lens blocks you just change the direction of the laser.

you change the paint of it, gold makes it yellow (but painting it yellow gives same effect), red paint= red, and so on

but I notice now he did it without the need of paint, so I do not know Edit: Turns out he did

But imagine puting the 2cm beam system on a turret using mouse aimed turret scripts. Also the 2cm beam system can be as strong or as weak as you'd like it. You could build the strongest laser you want and spread massive damage across a target, reducing it to literally nothing. I did this with my BFG 10000 build and reduced a UNSC Infinity to many small pieces.

Oh you can increase the duration of the ion beam, just add more ion capacitors to the loop. My most powerful cannon had a beam duration of 35 seconds or so, but it was enormous.

Ik not sure as I haven't been able to test this mod but can't you add more capacitors to increase fire duration at the expense of charge rate?

@@joshuaconner5887 ooo I wanna see that Edit I'm taking about the BFG 10000

Ion cannon are just laser loop on the repeating cycle until u released it, if the problem was mounting on ship's why not make a ion super cannon and just mount a ship on it. U may think this funny but in halo human ship's are just big rail guns on thrusters and steriods.

It has been a while since I've used the mod, the last time I used it was in a coop survival world with a friend. He was able to see the beam. I hope this helps a bit :)

@@expansionisten7521 I can confirm that it DOES show for my friends playing with me. (Speaking of friends) I'm trying to get MORE people involved with our efforts. Could I interest you in coming to work on my massive project? I'm still learning things, so it'd be nice to have an experienced player help out. The SE community has been VERY shitty to me so far.

@@MurakumoVance knowing it's been a year since comment, I'll say if your still looking that I'd be down to join any kinda SE projects big or small. Especially mech builds.

@Solowarrior1221 except you can't actually move the darn thing without creating a spaceship that can't be used in multi-player.

It's actually much more practical on a small ship due to the systems being much more compact

@@victorfrankenstein8005 The Ion beam components don't fit on small grids. The smaller laser system does though.

Sorry I was talking about the small ship version like a idiot

But still though the size of that makes it seem impractical

PRECURSOR FUN WHEN

but less fun :3

@@TheIceThorn i rather have the atlas laser. Its more fun to have surgical aim rather than oh i shoot once the ship is no longer there.

I like the 2cm because of the difficulty of just installing one on a ship and kinda balances it a little bit

@@HAXRLITSXY actually, the 2cm ion cannon is more balanced than the atlas laser and most other capital ship weapons because of how small they arw. So long as you have a big enough reactor, you can shove that thing into anything. Whereas the ion cannon needs a COLOSSAL dedicated ship or station to use, but the damage is worth it.

@Samuel Skala yeah, Atlas is cor when you want to conform tothe usual Star Trek DS9 USS Defiant style of ship design of making a small compact ship with a BIG BIG punch. 2cm is for when you want to build a PROPER warship to play with.

Thank you!
