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.

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? ???
-
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.
-
RAC/2s and /5s are two tons heavier than standards though...?
-
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?
-
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.
-
Being better than a standard autoannon isn't that difficult. They're pretty much garbage.
-
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
