 Re: How terrible are lasers?I think lasers should be changed to constant damage type weapons with(generally) low tracking, and most beam weapons changed to different damage types.
That would be cool. _________________ JeffL wrote: That's it. I quit! Battlecruiser23 wrote: Fuck you, Cygnus. |

Re: How terrible are lasers? True, but you have to admit that it would make lasers interesting

Re: How terrible are lasers? Tbh, imo all lasers should be Ethereal and Damage multiple targets at once either by jumps or hurt anything in a straight line.
Plus in reality Laser in space has unlimited range... that would be cool in SS  _________________ trevor54 wrote: im only a noob Calypso wrote: adum is the best. Samantha is second. Calypso is third. no wai! |

Re: How terrible are lasers? Lasers are light. Light travels forever. I don't think their power does though; make them do full damage at the range posted in the stats, and then ever decreasing damage as the range goes farther as well as losing tracking ability past the posted range.
e.g. Medium laser with 250 range and 120dps (damage stat for lasers will be in damage per second). after 250 range (or however much the range is boosted by skills/augs/tweaks), the laser loses its tracking ability (just fires forward) and starts doing less damage. Edit: Rate of fire will be a modifier to the damage per second, but also increase elec usage, while damage will just be a modifier to the damage per second stat, just to be clear on those. e.g. +50% RoF = +50% damage AND +50% elec usage, but +50% damage is just +50% damage. _________________ HAL on 4/1/10 wrote: I bet you thought you were going to get a joke today?

Re: How terrible are lasers? lolwut did you even bother to read ALL of my post? decreasing damage after the max range, at 20k range even for snipers i'd assume as little as like 1-2dps.

Re: How terrible are lasers? We have reflectivity in game already. Why not make laser damage be affected by that stat?
For example if target has less than 100% reflectivity that means laser damage is being amplified due to light absorption. If target has more than 100% reflectivity part of laser damage is being reflected creating short range splash effect. |

Re: How terrible are lasers? Laser damage kicking the living crap out of snipers, seers, SD's, and KC, hmm. Yet not being able to scratch Fleet, Support, and Zerk?
