This immediately makes me think the Arc Welder from Red Faction, and i really REALLY like the idea! http://redfaction.wikia.com/wiki/Arc_WelderHave the weapon be VERY effective against shields on both dropsuits and land based vehicles, but once it gets down to armor on said vehicles, it should do no physical damage, but instead start to fry the driver inside. Once dead, you can hack and then take the now pilot-less tank/LAV for yourself >:) Dropsuits being electrocuted should take damage similar to that of a laser rifle. Make it a medium-close to close range weapon. Of course, taking into account the Amarr heavy suit bonus, using the weapon too long would cause the batteries to "overload", electrocuting the user and causing feedback damage.
That's not even close, and defies the lore. No. |

Message from Godin: uhh. Well, long story short, that ***** the amarrians call their empress found a cannon from the old days (before the gate collapsed), and she fitted it to her ship. The first time she fired it was on a Republic fleet, and it destroyed every las one of those ships. Basically, it shot a shot, and hit a ship, imploding the shields, basically killing everything inside the shields of the ship, and also destroying the ship. It also arced from one ship to the next, doing said shield impulsion (which is how the entire fleet got wrecked from that one shot). Although it wrecked her ship, and almost killed her in the process, she adored the tech, and had scientists build her a infantry version for the troops. Although it wasn't as insane as the Toran weapon she found, being able to arc indefinitely, it's still pretty strong. Also, I know for sure that It's a merc weapon, and is a heavy weapon due to Templar One, in which Vince grabbed it from a Heavy and started using it, making it naturally a heavy weapon.
tl;dr: It's a weapon that should hit a target, but then arc to the nearest enemy dealing damage to him/her. It should be highly effective towards shields (maybe even more so than the norm, like 130% instead of 120%), but have a hard time against armor (if shields are stronger, then armor should be weaker, so 70%). |
