Advanced Ballistics upgrade

from Sins Forums

The TEC's second tier auto-cannon upgrade description says it boasts aerodynamic profiles which increases penetration. Um... last I checked we were fighting in space... which means no air. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?

It's flavour text.  Don't look too deeply into it.

Which do you think would better penetrate a hull.

  1. A Cube Shape?
  2. A Sphere Shape?
  3. An Arrow Shape?
  4. No difference

The description would be better off stating some kind of specially engineered shape rather than talk about aerodynamic profiles. I was just bored any way, don't take this so seriously :p

Yeah, they seemed to just put whatever sounded good into those descriptions. Though at least with the Advent and Vasari they have some leeway with the suspension of disbelief as the capacities of psytech and nanobots/phase space respectively are not well know.

Probably most of it is physically impossible, at least in the manner depicted.
