If you were to create a weapon...

A gun that fires metal parts, which build themselves together to form a robot that will fight for you! The longer you fire that weapon continuously the bigger the robot will get. You can also build multiple bots, but since the weapon has a long cooldown and the bots collapse after a minute, you can't really make an army! You would also have to salvage metal parts as ammo.

That would be an awesome, balanced, boss-weapon!

 

I would like to see some gun that shoot items that have been loaded in it, just like a dispenser.
It would work differently depending of what is in the gun.
And maybe with weapon modifications you could make it even better, making it to shoot either concentrated shots or big balls at once

 

id say a nano sword, thats late game, and deals 45 damage off the bat, bu with the power of nano technology, deals 5 dps for 5 seconds

 

Oh, good Idea, like the Rock-It-Launcher from Fallout 3 (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Rock-It_Launcher). Then you could use all the stone, dirt and other useless stuff as ammo.

 

I'm also an armor guy, and when I thought about it more armor could also act as a reactive weapon, or something. If you equip some really heavy armor, or a particular piece of armor like really heavy boots you could start goomba-crushing enemies with it. In that aspect, perhaps a pair of boots that harm enemies upon contact, or a full body armor that shoots out pellets when struck, like in Deus Ex.

 

I can't believe no one has suggested a black hole grenade. Seriously. Also the Tar grenade, which would coat your enemies in boiling tar dealing heat and suffocation damage, as well as slowing and eventually, when it hardens, encasing and fully trapping the enemy in question. One more thing, a little invention of mine: VeLoDe Spike, or Vehicular Locomotion Destruction Spike. Essentially, when you pull the pin out, it begins to superheat its outer casing (so you'd want to throw it fast), and when it reaches its target, it will use that heat and its sharp end and slim, cylindrical form to puncture the target and superheat IT, and then after doing that for a few seconds, it will finally explode. The target is usually a vehicle's locomotive parts, e.g. a tank's treads, a plane's turbine, a jeep's wheels, etc. Obviously best used against approaching vehicles. There is also an anti-infantry version that supercools its target before detonation. And finally, imagine a molotov the size of a water cooler. As artillery.

 

Hmm good question, I think I'd personally want some kind of star whip that would burn enemies and the more you use it the closer it gets to super nova thus burning more then 1 foes at a time. So if you keep hitting foes it gets hotter if you stop hitting foes it cools off

 

Frostmourne!

 

A Gauss rifle in Starbound would be awesome!
Though I didn't make that up so here is my weapon:
A railgun, gatling gun combo!
Ultimat destruction!

 

Idea just came to me. How about a anti gravity gun where once you shoot it at a target it essentially disables all forms of gravity making the object float in mid air without any control of where it can go for a short time. Now to apply this with some fun like having a tennis game with some sort of mob or box and just pushing it from side to side. but of course the it would be limited by what it hits as something larger may have a shorter time where it is floating, or is not effected at all.

 

Alternately, a gravity hypostabaliser; Whatever you shoot is affected by extreme gravity temporarily in random directions, effectively disintergrating it. :D

 

OOOH that sounds quite a nice thing to have aswell

 

It could be a single two-handed weapon with two alternate fire modes by LMB and RMB f.ex.
Hmm... alternate attack modes.. Sounds like a great idea!

 

It's like half life, but 2-d!

 

Giant banana or peanut shooters.

Yeah.

 

I'm not sure if someone has said something like this already, but some sort of Tar/Slowing gun that impedes certain creature movement so they may be more easily captured, ect.

 

Who needs weapons?
I've got PSI powers!

 

Like what diddy kong has?

 

A nice missile that can decimate any enemy, the t-56.

 

A space station armed kitten that pukes rainbows of death on everything.
