Yeah..... what he says would make sense if you took a firing row of mercs each with a different weapon and had them shoot at one stationary target starting at the same time. Sure..... But if you add strafing its a bit different. Unless your a mass driver because splash damage doesn't care much about strafing.
So sure, shot for shot, RoF for RoF, the mass driver might "technically" take the longest, but it has by far the most consistent "kill time" out of all the other weapons and that is because it requires minimal aim to make it do damage. Honestly.... in my opinion. Mass drivers should be all about area suppression. Faster rate of fire, bigger splash radius, But MUCH lower damage. As it stands right now, it only takes about five mass driver rounds to kill my proto logistics suit, and sure that might be "a lot" to some people, but when you think about it..... shooting five rounds into the ground really isn't that difficult. |

Considering that it's a chore to use, aim, and kill with; it's only got one round per shot; the aiming mechanics on it are questionable; etc. This really ought to operate like a rocket launcher, considering all the drawbacks it has. Direct dum fire would make more sense, but consider if you upped the splash damge to much wouldn't be a littke op??
why would you up the splash damage? The splash damage should be tight, but have a high damage impact if it does hit something. The arc and travel time should also be reduced with this thing. Clip size should be increased to Two or Three based on how severe the reduction to the arc/travel time would be. And then! you would have a functioning plasma launcher that's actually semi-decent at killing vehicles. |
