Talk:GTW Prometheus R

Basic hostile weapon

As far as i can see this is just a weapon ment to be used by the hostile (opposing) non-shivan forces. That is no other Terran/Vasudan weapon is as bad as this one. However PromR looks just about right amongst the shivan weapons. I think i'll toss something about this to the page if no one disagrees.

Agreed. I think I've already hinted at that, but coming out and saying it would be appropriae I think. --Mars 01:59, 25 July 2006 (BST)

Actaully this gun is more similar to the Origional GTW Prometheus than the GTW Prometheus S is, apart from the reduction in fire rate it is much closer to the FS1 weapon, if the Energy drain had reduced in-line with the fire rate reduction it might not seem like such a bad gun.

I must disagree... Its closer to Shivan weapons (that is.. its almost as bad as) than any other Terran weapon available. Has about 50% (perhaps just a bit more) of the performance of the FS1 GTW Prometheus.. See Weapon Comparison (FS2)

You're thinking too much of overall effectiness, and have missed my point: the Prom R fires similar yield and speed bolts to the GTW Prometheus (but less of them and draining more energy in the process), with similar sheild/armour/subsystem factor: whereas the GTW Prometheus S fires Faster-Moving bolts that have a much higher anti-shield effect and slightly lower anti-hull effect than either of the other versions, basicly I can see the GTW Prometheus R as a variant of the GTW Prometheus (albeit an inferior one), but the GTW Prometheus S is as different to the other Prometheus Cannon as the GTW Banshee and GTW UD-8 Kayser are to each other and is effectely a competely different weapon that happens to have a similar visual effect.

Yeah, the Prom R has few similarities to the Prom S, and the Shivan weapons have very close damage / second figures, I'm inclined to believe that the Prom R is an enemy weapon you can load up. --Mars 19:44, 7 August 2006 (BST)
