I am using both the heavy cannon and the smart-cannon and I can report that the smart-cannon is extremely unreliable at dealing damage, too. I believe it may be the projectile speed causing hit detection issues, but that is only a hunch and I have no solid proof. The smart cannon fails to hit reliably for any target, from asteroids to stations and ships both modded and unmodded, at any speed of the player ship from 0 m/s to 3k+ m/s, and at any range from point-blank to 15km or further. In short, It just does not work.

We plan to make some fixes to the mod next week, but we need more information about where and under what conditions the errors occur.

The "Smart Cannon" and "Hvy Cannon"do no damage => I never used them after I found out.
The "Hookgun" while interesting has a very limited use, as the AI tend to try and kill you first.

The "Difuser" and "Hive" are the gems of this mod and the only two that work as intended.

I guess it is about time for a re-visit, if the creators intend to keep this one alive.

バランスの取れた武器のためのオールドソウルモッドの復帰！WPE-リマスタードは、バニラ武器に対して新たにいくつかのバランスの取れた武器を追加します。古いバージョンとは異なり（なんと、4年以上も前のことです）、一部の武器は新しいものと置き換えられ、残りは理想的な状態に引き上げられました（ただし、ユーザーのフィードバックに応じて編集できます）。そして、武器の紹介：スマートキャノン：敵を標的にして破壊するために様々な電子機器で満たされた弾薬を使用したキャノンのバリエーションです。

Hello! By the way some of the weapon systems say they do n-amount of damage, but in fact they do nothing. The Smart Cannon is one such system. Could you check what is causing it to malfunction, especially when build by a turret factory?

Ну экипаж есть пилоты есть а во вкладке корабля пушка перечеркнута и в бою не стреляет вовсе.

Хороший вопрос, но стоит расписать подробнее.
Возможно у вас не выполнены требования по экипажу.

Почему тяжелая пушка не стреляет ?

Thanks!

Actually, you can change the value "p = ***" with the same result (and then the weapon will not spawn even in the very center), but I had a problem with the turret factory (with a small chance, disabled guns would still appear there like blueprints). So whether to leave these guns only in the very central sector or very rarely in turret factories is your choice.

on PC open file in ur steam folder -> Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\445220\3030922742\data\scripts\lib\galaxy.lua

Change "d = ***" value to 0 in line with gun u wanna turn off

Example

line: weaponProbabilities[WeaponType.Diffuser] = {d = 0.55, p = 1.0}
to: weaponProbabilities[WeaponType.Diffuser] = {d = 0, p = 1.0}

will change spawn chance by distance from center to 0

I'd like to disable Smart-cannon and Diffuser, but it's purely due to my personal tastes. I guess, i may disable these guns by diving into the mod itself and creating my own local version, but i simply have no ide of Avorion modding currently. Any tips?

These are very cool, I am curious to check this out.

Yes, NPCs use them. You cant disable individual weapons. To make this possible, we ll have to create separate mods for each gun. If its not a secret, which guns would you like to disable and why?

First yes, second no, as vanila guns

Does NPC use these guns? And is there a way to disable spawning of some of them?
