about:
one of the weapons i made for foxy's ships. it's old and bad now so i'm uploading it
still my favourite firework-based weapon and for good reason

what's cool about this gun?
+i nerfed it pretty hard to save your worlds in the schematic, but this gun can drill through blocks forever
+ridiculous damage/shot ratio for a light weapon
+really stupid projectile velocity (near infinite. i think)

what's uncool about this gun?
-firing it is pretty laggy
-if you un-nerf it and don't keep within loading range of its projectiles you're gonna have a very, very bad time
-stupid old clock needs restarting on import

  Have something to say?

Seems decent. Eh, I can do the same thing (for a limited time) in 1.5.2 with my balefire.

Should probably mention that actually. Yes, I got the "rail" gun working. It constructs an obsidian pathway and sets rails onto it, then sends a type-512 right into your hull. Only thing that has so far stopped it is, surprise surprise, iyectan shields. Solution is to hit another button and drop a block behind the type-512 within the damage radius (slightly more than the defelction radius). Boom goes your outer hull, and I caused nothing more than superficial damage to your armour. My work is done. *whoop-whoop-whoops away*

i can see how that might work, but...how do you know where to put the block? (also lol lol lol)

It's all linked according to either the x or z plane. y plane is a given, so I can just search for the nearest water source outside of a given radius and spawn the block based on TNT physics inside of a water block. Given that an uncontained explosion is both more powerful and has a greater area of effect, I can let the basic shields do their job, then blow a hole into your hull by detonating the type-512 outside of the shield's area of effect.

It's a simple concept, but the execution took a few days to figure out

but how do you test and summon for water without a small library of command blocks?

Simple: Make the primary active command block the target aquisition computer, and whatever other command blocks (one or two depending on your own proficiency. mine is not so good as you're well aware) you need are nothing more than the weapon activators. One creates the blocks and rails, the other spawns the type-512. Once these have been put into place, manually fire off the type-512s, then let them even out on the track (powered track versus defelction creates that forward-backwrd motion you proved to occur some months back). After that, test for and spawn the detonation block in the critical zone between the radius of deflection and  where the powered track can outperform the deflection

It's a system that requires VFR to be most effective, and it's a three part manually activated system. I can't automate this.
