Question
They say that preparation is half the battle, and that definitely applies to Gratuitous Space Battles, where I might go even further by saying that preparation is more than half the game. Seeing how I spend quite a bit of time designing new ship layouts, I've come across the following question:
All ship hulls have a set number of hardpoints where weapons can be mounted. Some hardpoints are "split", and have a pair of white lines connecting them to points on the ship's hull, as can be seen on the lower hardpoint equipped with a weapon in the following screenshot:
Now, these two hardpoint types differ from each at least visually, as the weapons mounted on the split hardpoint will show up in both linked locations:
What I would like to know is if there is an actual difference between the two hardpoint types that is not purely cosmetic. Is there?
Answer
No, there is absolutely no difference in terms of damage etc. The only difference is cosmetic in that two (smaller) projectiles show in battle.
But good question as I remember having the same question when I played.
If I remember correctly, I read this somewhere on the GSB website or forum, but that was quite a while ago, so it would be difficult for me to come up with a link.
