Particle beam shouldn't be a light weapon (SVN 11185)

Post by Miramor »

In the current SVN, the particle beam shows up under Light Weapons at upgrade shops. It has a damage/range profile similar to a heavy ion beam in 0.4.3 (better, in fact), and seems to be quite efficient (3000 MJ/s power consumption). No way should this be a light weapon.

(I would argue that the efficiency needs to be reduced, but I'm guessing there's a reason for it.)

BTW, what's a "plasma plume" good for? Does it knock out a target's power systems?

Have you seen the range on the plasma plume Miramor from that it looks pretty useless i imagine that some of the weapon stats will change after we get some play time :wink:
