Frequency crystals are the "ammo" of laser based weaponry. Currently the ScR and LR have magazines to reload them, my question is: what are we exactly reloading?
Laser bullets?
Photons?
Why is there a magazine on these weapons in the first place?
In the future I'd like to see the ammo system for laser weapons nixed and replaced with the frequency crystal dynamic. Overheat already keeps laser weapons in check so if ammo is nixed, we won't be able to fire forever, but say after 4000 shots, the crystal shatters rendering the weapon useless until it is replaced. If it shatters mid match, oh well, hopefully you have a good sidearm until you die and can purchase a new crystal.
Personally, I think this would bring a cool new dynamic to these weapons.

Its essentially a cap booster you are reloading into a laser based weapon.
Frequency crystals are an interesting idea but I think it makes more sense to use that idea as variants - maybe if light weaponry is ever tiericided or if we ever get weapon mods.
Instead of capacitor usage in eve the crystals would have varying levels of heat dissipation. |

A cooling liquid or substance would be my guess, prevents the gun from practically melting lol:P

You're changing the batteries Aisha. That's the same thing they do with the scrambler pistol. As I'm sure you know the amarr favor reliability of weapons over everything else and that means they want something they can use *forever*, thus you're given a whole bunch of batteries for your laser weapon of choice and you can presumably recharge them (though it takes some time) on your suits reactor.

Crystals would be good if/when they introduce ammo variants - but in pretty sure they would just modify how many shots you get out of 'reloadable battery'.
Minimatar weapons would be a lot of fun if they introduced eve style ammo variants...

Gal weapons would be even better with ammo variants.

I gotz an idea for that: it's a battery. and we should have docking stations that recharge the batteries from the suit's cap, basically giving energy weapons infinite ammo :D

laser and hybrid weaponry are limited in damage type, while projectile ammo can dish any type of damage (em, kin, therm, expl) depending on wich ammo you choose

missiles are the same. But Gal weapons would get more range.
I would like to see some neat effects with different types of ammo. Say EM bullets has a chance to mess with your equipment, and can one hit any equipment.
