DUST Search - Gallente Sniper Rifle

My imagination leads me to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolaser

A laser emits a laser beam into the air.
The laser beam rapidly heats and ionizes surrounding gases to form plasma.
The plasma forms an electrically conductive plasma channel.

Because a laser-induced plasma channel relies on ionization, gas must exist between the electrolaser weapon and its target. If a laser-beam is intense enough, its electromagnetic field is strong enough to rip electrons off of air molecules, or whatever gas happens to be in between, creating plasma. Similar to lightning, the rapid heating also creates a sonic boom.

Visual effects between tip of weapon and intended target would look like barely noticeable pulsing beam and then a minor tesla coil going off. Maybe two to four small lightning bolts. I'll leave the sonic boom option to you guys but I would like that sound effect, anything to let you know what's on the field.

I understand Amarr uses lasers but in this case it's not the end result, it's only the catalyst in reaching a different end result. Maybe this would be better off as the Amarr heavy weapon, [shrug].

The Caldari rail based sniper should be the premier ultra long range sniper rifle but a 200 meter tactical neutron sniper sounds perfectly reasonable. // Lance Commander // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana
Adelia Lafayette Science For Death 634	Posted - 2014.02.12 04:46:00 - [34] - Quote try something with 200 damage per shot heavy weapon with a 20 clip and 2 rounds per second and as a drawback it makes the loudest THUMP you ever heard. Full damage to vehicles. I would buy this. full auto with kick hitting you around the 5th shot. Charged shot might be cool but probably not necesary. Because of the lack of dispersion I'd put it further than an hmg with around the 100 to maybe even the 150 you suggested. looking at your stats you suggested a more powerful single shot mid range sniper with the range of what the laser rifle should have.

They are in your face armor tankers that use plasma weaponry at short-medium range. Buuuuuuuut, if such a thing were to exist, then a 5% increase to all SR damage would be needed. For a sniper rifle, this is as in your face as it gets. Rail Rifle is just 48 meters below it in terms of range, and this can't possibly outdo a rail rifle user solo. 5% increase to all SR damage would NOT be needed. It's a pretty damn niche weapon, I don't see how it hurts the SR. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Shiruba Ryou 215	Posted - 2014.02.12 05:22:00 - [38] - Quote Keep coming with your opinions guys it's good to read them. Keep in mind that I made a niche weapon for Gallente. Other races may do it better it their own way but I wanted to create what I'd see as the Gallente answer to filling a marksmen role. None of what I put in the report is something I believe should be set in stone. I goal was to give a picture for the weapon to give CCP an idea that they might like and run with.

Keep up the discussions all ^^ You're doing fine. All races need to cover the very basics. That's like me getting angry that the Caldari have an assault rifle because Railguns are natively med-slow firing weapons.

Do we really need more snipers? Therefore I give this one a thumbs down. Sorry, my friend. I can somewhat see your point. But lack of balance amongst the current weapons isn't really a good reason to stop adding new ones. And I've always thought that more weapon classes and racial parity within those classes will add more depth to the gameplay. The only small notes I have would be to possibly change it in one of two ways: 1. Make it an actual bolt-action rifle. Increase clip size to about 6-8 or so, lower the damage slightly, and require an actual bolt to be pulled back (which requires unscoping) after each shot. 2. Increase clip size to 3 or so, give it a RoF slightly slower than the standard SR, and just keep the damage where it's at. Only now you would actually notice the significant kick after each shot. If this was done, the Operations skill bonus could be changed to reduce kick. I was thinking over the numbers again and realized that with this damage, unless you were shooting at Scouts, you'd virtually never actually score a kill on a fresh target. And with that 4s reload time, I feel like you would just be relegated to getting assists here and there, which wouldn't be the most fun thing to do. I think either of these changes could make it feel a bit more useful. Not just a laymen, but the laymen. Winn Summ and lose Summ.

Seems uninspired. Red wire needs to go, gallente are about aesthetics. Also dont like the pump action shotgun grip on the front of it. But that's me nitpicking. I like the Y shape of this rifle from deviant art for a possible front shape. hollow the middle out and you can make it a 3 railed sniper.

Also, as far as the new stats in that pic go, everything seems pretty good. But for the DoT, I was thinking something like 4/7/10 DPS for 5 seconds on all tiers. And then the Operations skill could increase the length of the DoT effect by 1 second per level; so at level 5, it would last for 10 seconds. I mean, if the DoT's gonna be a part of the weapon, let's make it a noticeable one. Not just a laymen, but the laymen. Winn Summ and lose Summ.

Gallente will rather use rail tech gotta agree, in eve galente use blaster for cqc and rail guns for long range, they and the caldari use the same tech, it's just that caldari rely on missile as another platform, and gallente rely on drones, both use plasma and rail tech but for some stupid reason DUST 514 decided to make Railguns Caldari exclusively. That is odd. We need faction railguns for vehicles for Gallente. 'lights cigar' fuck with me, and I'll melt your face off. Gallente forever!
