ACS-802 Super Heavy Turbolaser System
Image Source: N/A
Intent: Create a new type of Weapon for Capital Ships, because I like big three gun weapons
Development Thread: As Needed
Manufacturer: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Model: Mk1
Affiliation: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Modularity: Can be made Long Range, cannot be made Heavy, can be configured in Dual, Triple, Quad etc.
Production: Mass
Material: Turbolaser Components, durasteel, Independent Targeting Computer
Classification: Turbolaser
Size: Ship Mounted
Length: 30 Meters
Weight: 100 Metric Tons
Ammunition Type: Blaster Gas, Power Generator
Ammunition Capacity: Same as Standard Turbolaser
Effective Range: Same as Standard Turbolaser
Rate of Fire: Same as Standard Turbolaser
Special Features:
The key idea behind the ACS-802 was having a really big, powerful gun as a ships primary weapons. By creating an upscale Turbolaser and overcharging it using additional focusing lens, magnification crystals, a massive overcharge capacitor, and drawing more power off the ship's reactor. To assist in the prevention of over heating Plas-Bonded Ostrine Coils were added to the barrel and capacitors, but this isn't fool proof and overheats just like any other turbolaser.
The weapon is roughly Eight times more powerful than a standard turbolaser and consumes eight times as much power. The benefit of having all the energy condensed into a single bolt is that the point of impact is still only the same size as a single bolt but the energy behind it is eight times standard. This increases the damage it does to local area shields and armor, increasing the likelihood of the bolt dealing damage to internal structures. It should be noted that the bolts do not penetrate shields, they simply do more localized damage to them as well as armor.
