Light and Rotary Autocannon additions/variants.

[Izzy193]

these are the complete collection of light and rotary autocannons I have made. Making them range reasonbly without making them defunct on arrival was something I was having a tricky time in making. I hope I got close enough to what they'd actually be. these would most likel be FedSun/FedCom inventions intiially before becoming common. these are first draft Statblock(s).

Light UACs: lighter, shorter ranged UAC's.
Light LB-X-ACs: Lighter, Shorter Ranged LBX's.
LAC/10: a Class 10 Light Autocannon.
RAC/10: based on the UAC10 and LAC10, has shorter range than the UAC10 but has six shots maximum and can be unjammed in battle.

Light Ultra Autocannons:

So there you have it, my Light LBX,UAC,LAC10 and RAC10 all in one thread. I if you want to playtest them that's fine, feel free to give me feedback on how they perform in practice and I'll see about calculating BV estimated in the future.

Why does the RAC/10 weigh the same as a bog-standard AC/10? ???

[Izzy193]

I thought that would blaance it out a little due to it's average damage output ot 10-60 damage in 10 damage clusters of course.

[Daryk]

RAC/2s and /5s are two tons heavier than standards though...?

[Izzy193]

RAC/2s and /5s are two tons heavier than standards though...?

so it would be 14 tons not 12 tons for the RAC/10, Done and what you think of the light LBXs Light UACs and LAC/10?

[Daryk]

The Light LB-X's and UACs are better than standard autocannons in every way (even in slug/single shot mode).  That may be over the top.

[Lycanphoenix]

Being better than a standard autoannon isn't that difficult. They're pretty much garbage.

[Izzy193]

here's the missing ammo per ton values.

Class 2 light autocannons(all Variants): 45 shots
Class 5 Autocannons(All variants): 20 shots
Class 10 Autocannon(All variants): 10 Shots
